I actually bought a 2017 Macbook Pro 13" without the TB, but it is basically the same computer as the 2016 version besides the slight battery increase and processor bump. The MBP 13" is a beautifully constructed thin and light high end computer.

Later in the fall, we're looking at a possible launch of the 'iPhone 8', which may coincide with the 10th anniversary celebrations, and it looks like a game-changer that will keep most of us excited. In the meantime, the folks at Cupertino, CA haven't had…
