If your ageing MacBook is in desperate need of a refresh now could be a very good time to upgrade.
Apple recently revealed its new lineup of top-end Pros which now feature faster processors, improved Retina displays – with True Tone technology – and an updated keyboard which is now quieter than before.
These new machines are some of the best ever come from the US technology giant with Express.co.uk saying in our recent review: “We’re huge fans of the MacBook Pro and there’s a number of reasons why this is still our laptop of choice.
“This portable powerhouse not only looks stunning but now offers desktop specs and performance when you are away from your desk.
“The new screen and improved keyboard add to the appeal but it’s the sheer usability that continues to make this one of the best laptops on the planet.

One of the only issues with these new laptops is their high price but the release of this powerful portable PCs has meant Apple’s older MacBooks are being discounted.
Currys and John Lewis have both dropped the prices for last year’s MacBook Pros with savings of as much as £250 available.
Currys is currently offering the 13-inch 2017 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar for £1,499 – saving £250.
There’s also £100 off the 13-inch model without Touch Bar which lands on your lap for £1,349.
If you want the 15-inch model then there’s also a deal which drops the price to £2,499 – a saving of £150.
It’s also worth noting that Currys is currently offering up to £200 if you trade in an older laptop.
John Lewis also has some decent deals with some 2017 MacBook Pros dropped by as much as £200.
This means you can pick up the 15-inch model for under £2,000 and the 13-inch device for less than £1,700.
John Lewis is also offering 12 months zero percent interest on these purchases.
Although now is a good time to pick up a deal it’s worth remembering that rumours are rife that Apple could launch a refreshed MacBook Air later this year.
This updated laptop may feature an improved screen and more power under the aluminium hood.
