Apple MacBook Pro 13-Inch (2018, Touch Bar) Review & Rating

Apple MacBook may be the most macOS laptop, and the 13-inch, Touch Bar-equipped Apple MacBook Pro is the versatile.   With True Tone turned on, the temperature becomes warmer, with more of amber cast, and cooler when it's at in room.   The drive recorded 2, speeds on Blackmagic disk benchmark, compared with 1,744MBps of MacBook Pro's 512GB SSD.   Read speeds are also improved, up from 2,355MBps to 2,505MBps. Downstream of the maxed-out model, you can opt for 8GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB SSD..   MacBook Pro took just 1 minute and 11 seconds to encode HD video file into iPhone-friendly format using Handbrake, task that's hard grind for CPU and makes use of the most cores and threads it can get its mitts on.   Unsurprisingly, with score of 597, MacBook Pro is well on its way to being twice.   But, just like on Handbrake video-encoding test, MacBook Pro is not match for the bigger, less constrained Alienware 17 R5 or Dell XPS 15 2-in-1.   Again, I emphasize this The machines with 15-inch chassis and Intel Core H-series processors are not strict competitors, except charted here for perspective, indication of how far the uptick brings MacBook Pro to bigger notebooks that cost the same.   the 2018 model is not worth immediate upgrade if you have 2016 or later model MacBook Pro, unless you need both the raw processing uptick and, for whatever reason, cannot sacrifice any portability to get it.   You can get similarly Windows laptop, such for considerably money, or less, same-portability model in MacBook Pro without Touch Bar.   Read more
