The SSDs in competing Windows ultraportables are six times slower, with the otherwise speedy Dell XPS 13 offering 399.4 MBps and the average premium laptop hitting 279.3 MBps. The 256GB SSD in the Surface Laptop 2 turned in a low rate of 203 MBps. The result? An average write speed of 2,682 MBps. Incredulous, we found another synthetic benchmark to test the SSD called BlackMagic Disk Speed Test. It took the system just 2 seconds to complete this task, which translates to 2,519 megabytes per second. Based on our file copy test, which involves duplicating 4.97GB worth of files, the 2018 MacBook Pro has the fastest SSD I've ever seen in a laptop. It's rare that I don't believe the results coming out of our lab, but in this case I had to do a double take. For what it's worth, though, this is the only feature on this $2,500 machine that made my kids "ooh" and "ah." That's because the system leverages a dedicated sensor to dynamically change the whitepoint on the display to match the color temperature in the room.īut a couple of years after Apple launched Touch Bar, I see this feature as nice to have and not a must-have. On the surface, the 13-inch display (2560 x 1600 pixels) on the 2018 MacBook Pro doesn't look any different, but with True Tone turned on, the screen is easier on the eyes.

A subsequent leak of Apple support documents seem to confirm that the new keyboards feature a thin, rubberized membrane layer under the keycaps. This should prevent dust from getting into the keys and reduce the risk of sticky keys. My best score on the 2016 MacBook Pro was 75 wpm but I made more errors, resulting in 93.8 percent accuracy.Ī teardown by iFixit of the new MacBook Pro keyboard has discovered that Apple has employed a thin rubberized layer of silicone under its keycaps.

I notched 72 words per minute with 97.6 percent accuracy. Regardless, I typed quickly with few errors on the 10FastFingers typing test. It also has a slightly softer feel than my current laptop, though I noticed less of a difference in both feel and volume between the 2017 MacBook Pro and the 2018 version.
#New apple mac pro 2018 portable#
It’s the portable Mac for Photoshop users and video creators, or those who want to game on their Mac every once in a while – or just anyone who craves speed.In side-by-side tests with my 2016 MacBook Pro, the keyboard on the 2018 model is indeed quieter. At the base level, you still get a lot more processing power and a better display than the MacBook and MacBook Air models, and then there’s incredible room to grow if you’re willing to shell out for upgrades. The MacBook Pro, of course, is built for power users. Even so, the MacBook just became a tougher recommendation in Apple’s lineup. But that’s for half the storage, to be fair. The MacBook is smaller and lighter, but modestly so, and the Air packs in more power, a higher-resolution screen, an extra port, improved battery life, and even a better selfie camera. It boosts the screen quality while keeping the thinness, and seems to pack in a solid amount of power to match the excellent battery life.Īt £1,199+, it’s sure to be a sharp pick for anyone who hauls his or her laptop around a lot, as the light heft and serious battery life makes it ideal for portability.Īs for the standard MacBook… honestly, it feels like Apple just replaced it with the MacBook Air. We haven’t been hands-on with the new MacBook Air yet, but there’s plenty of reason to be excited about Apple’s revamp.
