The 2016 MacBook Pro 13 Inch Battery: A Review

In recent news, Apple has announced that certain 2016 MacBook Pro 13-inch devices may experience battery health issues, with some users reporting a 'Service Recommended' status. However, if your battery is listed as Normal, it is not affected by this problem.

Despite these concerns, the 2016 MacBook Pro remains a powerful and versatile machine that can be used without the need for adapters. Its years-old design may make it appear slightly aged compared to newer models, but its capabilities are still impressive.

For those seeking a more in-depth look at the MacBook Air or the non-Touch Bar MacBook Pro, we recommend reading our review of the MacBook Air and first impressions of the non-Touch Bar MacBook Pro. Alternatively, opting for a custom-configured Air with a speedy processor may be the way to go, as it offers a far superior display and graphics capabilities for an additional $300.

On the other hand, those who insist on having the latest technology may prefer the year-and-a-half newer MacBook Pro. However, using this device, especially for professional applications, is likely to require the use of adapters and other peripherals.

One significant advantage of the Air over the MacBook Pro is its traditional ports, which can be a major consideration for some users. The base model Air starts at $500 cheaper than the Pro, making it an attractive option for those on a budget.

Overall, the 2016 MacBook Pro 13-inch battery may have some issues, but it remains a powerful and reliable machine that is worth considering.
