Build Quality

The aluminum unibody construction delivers:

• Zero chassis flex under pressure
• Rigid, bounce-free keyboard deck
• Premium feel and excellent durability

The weight is the tradeoff for this solid construction—and for the 72.4Wh battery that delivers 18+ hours of runtime.

Recommended Bags

The 14-inch MacBook Pro fits standard laptop sleeves and backpacks designed for 14–15 inch laptops. For daily commuting, consider a dedicated laptop backpack with padded compartments.
