(So long as you bring along a few adapters this time around.) Like always, the 2016 version of the 15-inch MacBook Pro is a true desktop replacement. The trackpad feels just the right size compared to the keyboard on the 13-inch model on the 15-inch it feels excessive.Īnd there's no two ways around it: as the flagship model in Apple's MacBook Pro line-up, the 15-inch MacBook is expensive, which doesn't soften the blow when you have to shell out further for USB-C to USB-A converters and SD card adapters to plug in your old kit.
It's hard to see the benefit of that massive trackpad when its palm detection fails every-freaking-three seconds while typing. Speaking of which, we would advise anybody who writes for a living to give the 15-inch model a spin before splashing their cash. We dislikedĪre the new 15-inch MacBook Pro's benefits worth changing your entire workflow? The question is especially pertinent for creative professionals who may require a permanent SD card slot and USB-A ports more than a slighter and lighter chassis, improved display and row of touch-sensitive shortcuts above their keyboard. The inclusion of four USB-C ports is a move that, although requiring a few changes here and there when it comes to hooking up legacy devices, provides four speedy connectivity options that would even let you hook up two 5K monitors if you wanted to. While its new Radeon 460 graphics chip may not trouble Nvidia's newer Pascal laptops retailing at similar price points, it means that you should be able to run modern games with fluid frame rates without any trouble.

Its speakers sound fuller, richer and louder and an upgrade to Skylake processors gives you more than enough battery life to sit through a movie or two away from the outlet. The new MacBook improves in many other areas in small doses. We saw the value it can bring after rewiring our brains in a few short weeks, by which time we were firing open tabs in Safari, lowering volume in a snap and correcting our typos without a grammar bar in sight. Its display is now on a par with Apple's 5K Retina iMac, thanks to P3 color support, so professionals can edit on the move with confidence.įor pros and everyone else, that bright display almost makes it feel like Apple's put a whole new screen on its latest MacBook – everything looks that good on it.Īnd then there's that Touch Bar, which feels like it could prove mighty useful down the line with sufficient developer support. In many ways, this 15-inch MacBook Pro is Apple's best big MacBook yet. If you're thinking of upgrading, the changes will force you to take action in ways that you might not be ready for – whether that's something as simple as ending a reliance on MagSafe to keep your laptop safe – to purchasing adapters for hooking up legacy peripherals.

We were able to play Tomb Raider and Batman: Arkham City well above that at the 900p resolution mark, so expect games to hover around that at golden 60 frames per second standard at 1080p depending on the game, obviously.įor better or worse, Apple's new 15-inch MacBook brings the innovation that many said was lacking from the previous generation model.

We kept the MacBook screen brightness and audio on 50%.Īt 7 hours and 45 minutes, the MacBook easily has enough juice to get you through a couple of movies on a long trip.Īs far as gaming is concerned, even the inclusion of AMD's Radeon 460 doesn't make it a more viable option than a gaming laptop with any of Nvidia's GTX Series 10 graphics chips. To test the MacBook's battery life, we downloaded a 1080p movie and played it on loop in VLC player until the battery has depleted. Its speed can be felt during day-to-day tasks: booting is fast, as is opening and closing apps. Here we have SSDs that can reach sequential read speeds of up to 1.8Gbps.
