Apple has been known for manufacturing some of the most commendable laptops but since Windows upped its game in the last recent years, Apple lost its demand. However, the new MacBook Pro didn’t fail to impress us. It comes with a powerful new processor, a massages keyboard, tweaked graphics card, bigger SSD and more RAM. This laptop was designed for professionals who consistently rely on these machines and desire the best functionality.
The 15-inch model that we tried and tested support 16GB DDR4 RAM along with a new Intel Processor, Core i7. This laptop comes in a few different configurations and you can also buy it in Core i9 that offers you with 32GB RAM. The MacBook Pro also comes integrated with a Radeon Pro 555X AMD graphics card and 4GB of VRAM.

The laptop is well-engineered, crafted from aluminum and comes in a unibody design that is sleek, nice and extremely attractive. The right side keeps the headphones jack whereas there are two Thunderbolt 3 ports on the other side of the laptop. It has a 15.4inch retina display that you have all been seeing for years in Apple laptops and it supports the P3 wide color gamut for excellent color reproduction.
We have always been in love with Apple’s super-slim butterfly mechanism when it comes to their keyboards. The keyboard is, like always extremely responsive and we enjoyed working on it immensely. One minor change we observed that this time around, the Apple keyboard is quieter and doesn’t make that clicking noise that usual keyboards do. As for the display, Apple has included True Tone for the first time in any of its laptops. What it does is adjust the display’s white balance depending on the ambient lighting in the room. Florescent lighting vs warmer incandescent bulbs can have different tints of white, leaning bluer or yellower.
A few other improvements in MacBook Pro include Bluetooth 5.0, an internal coprocessor known as T2 that handles a lot of different system processes efficiently along with new and improved speakers. The speakers now have a better volume consistency and they are fuller as compared to the previous ones. And last but not least, the battery time has also been improved and it lasts almost 5-6 hours once fully charged.

Just because it comes in a smaller size doesn’t mean Apple has cut you with its features. It still offers you with a 13.3inch display size and it comes with much responsive hardware. As for ports, you get two USB-C (Thunderbolt 3) ports that you can conveniently use for charging the laptop and along with that, it offers you with a 3.5mm headphone jack that you rarely see on an Apple laptop.
