<strong>Update:</strong> Apple VP Phil Schiller <a href="https://twitter.com/pschiller/status/812461342728695808" target="_blank">said on Twitter[/url] that the company is "working with" Consumer Reports to understand the publication's MacBook Pro battery test results.</p><p>
The new MacBook Pro is the black sheep in Apple’s product line, at least according to a new review.</p><p>
Apple’s latest MacBook Pro has failed to receive a buy recommendation from Consumer Reports (http://www.consumerreports.org/laptops/macbook-pros-fail-to-earn-consumer-reports-recommendation/), making it the first MacBook in history to lack this stamp of approval. Consumer Reports cites extreme inconsistencies with battery performance as the key issue for withholding their recommendation. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3153407/macs/macbook-pro-is-the-first-apple-laptop-to-lack-a-recommendation-from-consumer-reports.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
