"Due to the ever-increasing process of technology; substitutes and alternatives for almost every product are available in the market. The specifications that you can’t get at one place might be available at another and even at a lower price.

In the laptop industry, this is the biggest challenge that manufacturers have to face. Not only they have to make their products with regards to the customers` needs but also in a way that their products come out better than their competitors.

MacBook Pro`s Biggest Problem:

In a single word, ALTERNATIVES are the biggest threat to MacBook Pro right now.

There has been a lot of ruckus on the internet about how good the new MacBook Pro is. Surely it is, but at this price, one can get a lot more than what Apple is offering. Here are a few notable mentions that can offer more or less the same performance as the new MacBook Pro 2016.
