Macbook Pro creates new fans
to its football field-size trackpad, it’s the ultimate tool for putting your ideas into reality.
Travel to Nashville, where budding musicians gather, and more often than not you will see them weaving their sounds on a Macbook. Go to the studios of Hollywood, and movie magic is being created and cut on these things.
This year’s Pro model offers a lot more grunt, something particularly noticeable when editing high-resolution videos, drone footage or super detailed photographs.
We’ve been putting the 15inch model through its paces and you definitely notice the upgrade provided by the faster ninth-generation Intel Core processors.
Bringing eight cores to Macbook Pro for the first time, Apple says it delivers two times faster performance than a quad-core Macbook Pro.
Combine that with better graphics, the super accurate Retina display and fast solidstate disks, and you have the ultimate tool for work and play.
But it’s not without its critics. The super low-profile keyboard has little give and is still too loud for my liking.
It’s fast for typing and the trackpad is brilliant to use, but I prefer the keyboard feel of my work Dell. That said, the more I use the Macbook, the less it bothers me.
Touch ID for signing in and the Touch Bar continue to set it apart from your runof-the-mill Windows laptops.
Scrolling through photos is beautiful, as is editing video using the Touch Bar.
With a price tag starting at $3500 for the 15-inch MacBook Pro, you have to make the most of every feature.
Mylament is outside of my day job, I don’t get enough time to play on the most creative tool at my disposal. When I do, however, you appreciate the little things. Text is so clear as you read, and watching 4K video is like a high-end TV experience.
If you’re just surfing the web and watching Netflix, this isn’t what you need.
But if you’re compiling code, rendering 3D graphics, editing multiple streams of 4K or multiple tracks music, this is the beast.
The 15-inch screen certainly is the better choice if you are multi-tasking and working with images a lot, though the 13-inch Macbook Pro offers turbo boost speeds of up to 4.7Ghz and is lighter to carry around.
The 13-inch Macbook Pro with Touch Bar starts at $2699 while the 15-inch will set you back more than $4000. It’s a lot of money but if you’re the creative type, you’ll probably appreciate the fun and flare. of
