It’s possible, as the Intel 10th-gen Core chips in more expensive configurations are specific to the MacBook Pro. One thing could change my sour impression of the MacBook Pro 13’s hardware options. That’s already the standard for many laptops, and I’m happy to see Apple follow suit. The base model now comes with a 256GB SSD rather than 128GB, and the $1,799 model has 512GB. There’s one glimmer of light in the new configurations. It also charges more for faster memory, perhaps in attempts to sweeten the deal on high-end models. Spec for spec, Apple is upcharging you $200 for the modest jump from 8th-gen to 10th-gen Intel processors. Strangely, it’s the 8th-gen that costs $100 more when similarly configured. Good luck choosing between the 8th-gen Core i7 and the 10th-gen Core i5. That makes configuring a MacBook Pro a complete mess.
It instead releases old designs with new processors, like the iPhone SE.
#MACBOOK PRO 13 2016 REVIEW UPDATE#
The company tends to update its Macs at a slower rate than other companies, but when a new model comes out, it often has the latest silicon.Īnd I can’t imagine Apple releasing a new flagship iPhone or iPad that uses last year’s processor. This isn’t Apple’s standard practice either. You can get the latest 10th-gen processors in the Dell XPS 13, Surface Laptop 3, or HP Spectre x360, in configurations starting at $1,200 or less. This isn’t what other laptops manufacturers do. Aside from the keyboard, this “new” MacBook Pro is identical to the one it was selling a year ago. That’s until you realize Apple is selling old hardware in a new laptop. The base model starts at $1,299, which sounds like a fair price. The way Apple prices the MacBook Pro reflects that aspiring hobbyist nature of this laptop. It’s a demographic that includes some of Apple’s biggest fans, and the MacBook Pro 13 shows why. The number of people who actually need professional-level performance is relatively small, while hobbyist graphic designers, YouTubers, music producers, and photographers are a dime a dozen. It’s not a true “pro” laptop - that’s the MacBook Pro 16.
The MacBook Pro 13 plays a crucial role in Apple’s lineup. And there won’t be any signs of wear or imperfections when you look at it at a 30cm or 12″ distance.Ĭlick here for a closer look at Amazon. Only the box it comes in and the accessories can be generic. They are inspected and tested by the Amazon qualified sellers’ technicians and are not certified by Apple for the upgrades. This is in connection with the standard return policy by Amazon.

It is a very good value machine at a nicely reduced price for the level of specs and features. The one we’re promoting on this page is a late 2016 model Macbook Pro. This lack of some of the connectivity ports is the case for pretty much on all the new release Macbook Pro’s and Air’s. For connectivity you have two Thunderbolt 3 ports (USB-C) that supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 standard, 802.11ac wireless and Bluetooth. Intel Iris Graphics 540 is the built-in GPU that performs slightly better than the NVIDIA 920M graphics and lets you play some of the demanding modern games of 2015 in lower settings and resolutions. The typical Thermal Design Power- TDP is 15 watts on this ultra low voltage CPU for a longer battery life.ġ3.3-inch Retina display has the 2560 x 1600 pixel native resolution and IPS technology. This one also has a 256GB Solid State Drive for a good size storage and plenty of speed. 16GB LPDDR3 SDRAM memory is quite generous for an Apple computer, considering the cost of a brand new machine with a large memory and storage. The late 2016 Macbook Pro is more than capable for all your daily work and entertainment tasks, including photo and video editing.
