Apple 15.4 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (Mid 2018, Space Gray)
Fast, Powerful & Much Improved Keyboard
I purchased this unit as a replacement for my 2016 MacBook Pro. The keyboard is much improved over the first iteration and types smoothly. That was my number one complaint about the 2016 unit. The system is powerful and the i9 Hex Core and graphics are noticeably faster. My only issue is that this model consistently has problems recognizing my two LG screens. I have to unplug and replug the second monitor for it to work. Annoying but not a deal breaker. B&H had a great price on the unit after their markdowns and it was a great deal. Thanks guys.

i9 AWESOME 32GB of RAM Top Notch Pricing Amazing
Im replacing a 5 year old iMac and the difference is like night and day, needles to say that my computer not sounding like a jet engine. compared to the 15 inch MBP I gave to my son that is also like 5 Y/O it is a beautiful piece of equipment. I can see this lasting me a good 5 or 6 years. I also really like the touchID implementation, I think I can get more use out of the touchbar but we will see how that goes.

Awesome Computer
As a professional photographer and a graduate student studying Instructional Technology I needed a laptop that can handle anything. I actual need to run Windows for some programs and this computer allows me to do it all. With all the upgrades possible this machine is a Ferrari.

Replaced my Desktop with this laptop
I have an 8 your-old Windows i7 with 16 GB of RAM and it ran great this whole time. I needed a new laptop and decided to consider using this MacBook as my only computer because of the specs on this computer. So, I bought a port replicator that supports 3 x 4K monitors and plugged all of my other devices into the replicator. Connected the replicator to the laptop via USB-C and it works great. One machine all the time with the convenience of multiple displays when Im home.

Apple Support Has Gone Downhill
I had no issues with my order with B&H. I did however have some issues with the product. First off I think its hilarious that the brand new iPhone and the brand new MacBook Pro cannot connect to each other out of the box. The iPhone comes with the USB connection which as we know the new MacBook Pros do not have. It would be nice if there was at least an adapter that came with one or the other. The bigger issue is Apple Support on their computers... Show More

Great MacBook
This MacBook shipped for free and I got it in 2 days. This thing is a best with 32GB of memory I shouldnt need to buy a new MacBook for some time. I like that you can charge it from any of the 4 USB C ports. File Transfer on USB C is also very fast. Bought from B&H because it saved me money on taxes and was $50 cheaper than Apple. I will buy from B&H again.

Outstanding in every way
I bought this mid-2018 MacBook Pro to replace my mid-2012 MacBook Pro. I needed a faster computer with more RAM and storage. Wow, little did I know just how much improvement had occurred in 6 years. The new computer is super fast with a beautiful screen. I used my Time Machine to transfer everything and it worked flawlessly. Very satisfied. Thanks B&H.....

Previous was Better
I had a MacBook Pro that got damaged, so I spent $5,000 on a new and improved. I9 is not fast and Safari drags. Multitasking is pitiful and the Touch ID will quit after five installs, stating that there are no more available Touch ID slots, yet none are shown to be cleared in Touch ID preferences. So basically after the fifth install, NO MORE Touch ID. Apple is working on a fix that should have been obvious to anyone who tested the I9 with the new T2 security chip. Not impressed!

Big, heavy, loud fans, gets hot.
Eh, its fast but its big and heavy, loud fans, and gets hot during basic tasks. I mainly use photoshop, illustrator, and Final Cut. All work fine, but they work perfectly smooth on the MacBook Air as well. I think the Air + eGPU + monitor is the better solution. Then you have a true mobile solution and can hook it up to the eGPU when you need to do some heaving lifting. Purchasing the Macbook 15.4 was an expensive mistake, live and learn I guess...

An amazing change from a PC
I was hesitant for years to make the change from my trusty (but increasingly slow) PC, even after my whole family had switched to Macs. But I have been pleasantly surprised by how easy the change was and how much it matters. I can work faster and easier, navigate better, and the power of the MacBook Pro is amazing. It was easy to find the programs I needed, which work just about the same, and Im a happy user. Never looking back.

Very Happy With My Purchase
This is my first MacBook Pro and I absolutely love it! It can handle anything I throw at it! I do a lot of photo compression and the 32gb ram is lightning fast. The 1tb ssd upgrade is perfect and really improves my workflow! Pleased with the service and discounts B&H offers as well! I was able to get this at a huge discount compared to Apples pricing! I do recommend that if you get this to look into USB-C adapters. I found the Hyperdrive and it works great for my MacBook Pro!

Huge upgrade for me (from mid-2012 Pro 13)
I purchased this computer to replace my mid-2012 MacBook Pro 13. I was unsure how going from a 13 to a 15 would be, considering I frequently use my lap as a surface and I carry my laptop to work every day. This computer, however, weighs half a pound less than my old 13 and is more portable than I expected. It is thin and light, and easy for me to carry with one hand. The increase in screen real estate is a huge pro (Im a web and graphic designer... Show More

Will NEVER BUY AGAIN!
After 2 months of use on a new MacBook Pro (with touch bar), the screen went black! When I called for a return, they told me the guarantee for returns was only 30 days! Now I have to be without the computer while it is sent in to Apple for repair. This computer was MUCH TOO EXPENSIVE for this kind of service!!!!!! Beware!

Beautiful Well-designed machine with one minor issue
I recently replaced my Mid-2012 15 Non-retina 2.6-Ghz MBP with this model about 2 weeks. Here are my thoughts: 1. This is a beautiful and well-designed machine. Its much thinner, lighter, sleeker, and smaller in dimensions than my old MBP even though the screen is still 15.4. 2. The screen is bright and crisp. The speakers provide an astonishing amount of mid range and bass for a laptop. The keys on the keyboard have a lot less travel than Im ... Show More

Good product. Disappointing return policy.
Yes, it was my fault. I bought the model with 512SSD when I should have ordered the 1TB model. It was only after the local Apple guru discovered the limited space and had broken the seal on the unit to load the information from the old unit to the new one, that I called B&H to discover my options. The option was, there was no option once the seal was broken. The staff member was professional, but the broken seal effective cancelled any possibility for a return. Yes, it was my fault. Word of advice, you should read all the return policies BEFORE placing the order. Thanks.

Even better than I expected
My old MacBook Pro was dying so I bit the bullet and ordered this model. I read all the reviews and was worried about certain features, like the oversensitive mouse track pad, the noisy keys, etc., etc. Have had it now over a week and I love, love, love it. The keyboard is fine. The trackpad is as quirky as my old one and most of the time I can keep my thumbs off it. Love the touch bar. Not crazy about all new connections but thats Apple for you,...

Great computer. Ignore the naysayers - I love the 15 over my old MacBook Air, which kept me satisfied for 8 years.

3 steps forward, 3 steps back?
TL;DR very bad keyboard and Touch Bar hamper use of an otherwise pro-level tool. For the first time since hearing about topre keyboards Im seriously considering dropping a few hundred dollars on one to reclaim some joy (and productivity). FULL REVIEW I wrote a review a couple of weeks ago but strangely it didnt publish, and seems to be lost. I bought my unit online from BH Photo in November, taking advantage of the sale they had then.

Love my MACBOOK PRO
I am an Apple/Mac customer since an Apple SE. Though I have a PC I will always choose Mac. It took me 2-3 years accepting the fact that I needed a new one. From Mac Rumors website I was introduced to B&H Photo. The laptop an the experience with this company could not have been better. Both are top of the line in service and performance an I am thankful for both.

B&H is great but Apple has become the new Microsoft
MacOS needs to repair your library to run applications The photo library you request does not exist the blockchain ID you provided is incorrect Save yourself the headaches - now seems like a great time to abandon Apple. I spent a month researching this purchase. Once I got it home, it basically functions like a car that wont start. Compatibility/upgrade issues that make no sense and are irreversible. Dont fall for the Apple is simple tagline. Apple is no longer simple and reliable.
