However, these USB-C ports will have to invest in more adapters to access anything from SD cards to USB drives. Apple is putting its weight behind the Thunderbolt system again with the MacBook Pro and it comes with three Thunderbolt 3 ports for plugging in high-resolution monitor for instance. Thanks to the SSDs everything happens faster on the MacBook Pro and the 32GB RAM will come in really handy for those working on video edit and cut down export times. Apple MacBook Pro 2018 comes with three Thunderbolt 3 ports for plugging in high-resolution monitor Apple claims a 10-hour battery life and in the two weeks I used the device, there was nothing to prove that this will be hard to achieve. Apple has achieved this by packing a larger battery despite the thinner frame. So despite the powerful chip, the better sensor and louder speakers, the new MacBook Pro offers the same battery life as before. In fact, that is one of the things Apple seems to have focused on: get the thermal footprint low. While I did not edit 4K videos, with all the heavy duty work that I made it do, the MacBook Pro held steady and did not heat up. This is the kind of workload this machine will be able to handle on a daily basis thanks to its top of the line Intel Core i9 processor, 32GB memory and the six cores that work in tandem to take the load. Imagine a scenario where you are editing multiple 4K video flows at the same time while listening to music and switching to check your mail in between. It will clearly be for owning the most powerful laptop around. If someone spends top Dollar to buy the latest MacBook Pro, it won’t be for its sleek design, its great audio, to touch the Touchbar or to show off the Retina display. But if you are from an earlier MacBook Pro, then is certainly much lighter.
So if you are upgrading from a MacBook or a MacBook Air you will feel the weight on your shoulders. At 1.83 kg it is certainly heavier than the MacBook Air I am used to carrying in my bag whenever I am on the move. Talking of design, its hard to ignore the fact that though this is a slim and sleep MacBook Pro, it is a tad heavier than it looks. And the TouchID at the end of the bar just makes logging in to the MacBook Pro much more easier. Also, if you are editing video or photos, this offers the kind of precision you cannot achieve with a mouse. Like on the Bear witting app that I use, it gives a lot of options that are contextual. Apple has tweaked the keys on the MacBook Pro 2018 and they are now much more quieter and softer than beforeĪctually, there is a lot you can do with the Touch Bar, especially after you customise it for your needs. Also, there is the Touch Bar which I kept glaring at and used very seldom. Personally, I would like a bit more of travel, but the keys on the MacBook Pro are well spaced out and practical. So, Apple has tweaked the keys and they are now much more quieter and softer than before. Users haven’t really loved the Butterfly keyboard on the latest Mac. But yes the latest Surface devices from Microsoft too have great audio. The other noteworthy change is the speaker, which matches the intensity and rigour of the display and is clearly one of the best I have heard on a laptop. But you can shift back to the more blueish regular colours if that is what you feel like. For me, the screen felt slightly more warmer, thus making it more lifelike and less digital as we are used to. This is the new True Tone technology Apple has brought in to make colours look more natural. From the very moment you look at it, you will realise something is different, a bit soothing to the eyes on the whole. The MacBook Pro is a 15-inch slab of metal or it seems so until you decide to open it up and confront the stunning Retina display. Technically, there isn’t a better configuration possible in a laptop meant for professionals. My review unit was the 15-inch version with 32GB storage and Intel’s Core i9 processor. The MacBook Pro 2018 too tries to be sleek and slim, be minimalist with what it has to offer in terms connectivity options for a more web-based world, and at the same time push the envelope when it comes to performance. The MacBook Pro 2018 version is a progression of what Apple started pushing out 2016 with the new MacBook. MacBook Pro 2018: Design, display and audio
