Faster and feature-packed MacBook Pro models
APPLE has updated its MacBook Pro with faster performance and new pro features, making it the most advanced Mac notebook ever.
The new MacBook Pro models with a Touch Bar feature 8th-generation Intel Core processors — 6-core on the 15-inch model that gives up to 70 per cent faster performance; and quad-core on the 13-inch model for up to two times faster performance than the previous version. With the option to add up to 32GB of memory on the 15-inch MacBook Pro, users can run more apps simultaneously or load larger files into memory. And with up to a 2TB SSD on the 13-inch model and up to a 4TB SSD on the 15-inch, MacBook Pro gives users the flexibility to work with large asset libraries and projects wherever they go.
Additional updates include support for up to 32GB of memory, a True Tone display and an improved third-generation keyboard for quieter typing.
With 500 nits of brightness and support for the P3 wide colour gamut, the Retina display on MacBook Pro is the best Mac notebook display ever.
Now with True Tone technology, the display and Touch Bar deliver a more natural viewing experience for design and editing workflows, as well as everyday tasks like browsing the web and writing email.
Also new to MacBook Pro is the Apple T2 chip, first introduced in iMac Pro. With the Apple T2 chip, MacBook Pro now delivers enhanced system security with support
for secure boot and on-the-fly encrypted storage, as well as brings “Hey Siri” to the Mac for the first time.
The MacBook Pro also comes with powerful Radeon Pro graphics, large Force Touch trackpad, revolutionary Touch Bar and Touch ID, dynamic stereo speakers, quiet Apple-designed cooling system, and Thunderbolt 3 for data transfer, charging and connecting up to two 5K displays or four external GPUs. It’s the ultimate pro notebook.
On the third quarter of this year, MacBook Pro can be updated with macOS Mojave, the latest version of the world’s most advanced desktop operating system.
The two MacBook Pro models with Touch Bar are available at RM7,499 and RM9,999 respectively.
