The Apple MacBookPro14 is a spectacular laptop with a superior build, keyboard and touchpad, and display. I can't help but love it, in spite of myself.
I’ve been a Windows user since Windows 1.0 hit the streets. In that time, I’ve also reviewed More than 200 laptops, the vast majority running Windows.
Despite all the ways these Windows laptops have caught up, the MacBook Pro remains in a class by itself. The 14-inch model I have is a bit larger than the Dell and HP, but not so much so that it can’t serve as the same kind of highly portable laptop. As I’ve been using it, I’ve been struck by how solid it feels. It’s rare that a laptop stands out so strongly in this regard, especially lately when so many laptops are also well-built.
The MacBook Pro 14, on the other hand, runs remarkably cool. I’ve yet to force its fans to spin up , so it’s eerily quiet as well. That’s remarkable given how much more powerful the MacBook is, and it’s a testament to Apple’s ARM architecture and macOS optimizations. The Force Touch touchpad is also outstanding. It’s large, and not only that, but the entire surface responds to clicks with a physicality that’s hard to distinguish from mechanical buttons — while being quieter and more confident on top of it. And I like the ability to invoke extra actions with a firmer “force click.” The XPS 13 Plus also has a great haptic touchpad, but again, it can’t meet Apple’s standards.
