Apple uses LPDDR3 memory rated at a speed of 2133 MHz, and in order for the MacBook Pro to support 32GB of RAM, Apple would have to use memory that needs more power, thereby affecting battery life. The keyboard doesn’t have enough “life” for my taste, but I love the maxi-sized Force Touch trackpad.ĭisappointingly, the MacBook Pro still supports a maximum of 16GB of RAM, which is what’s included in the $2,799 model. The aluminum unibody case design (available in Space Gray or Silver), the 15.4-inch display with a 2880-by-1800 native resolution and P3 color gamut, the Thunderbolt 3 ports (four ports on my review model), and the Force Touch trackpad are unchanged. Just about everything else about the MacBook Pro is the same as before. The discrete high-performance graphics chip is now a 4GB Radeon Pro 560, which replaces a 4GB Radeon Pro 460. The $2,799 model now has the Intel HD Graphics 630 instead of the Intel HD Graphics 530 as integrated graphics.

Speaking of the non-pro laptop, Apple says, "With thin and light designs, powerful performance, amazing displays and all-day battery life, Mac notebooks deliver the world’s best portable computing experience. There are no new ports or features, although pricing is changing a bit - the starting price for the 13-inch non-touch bar model is now $1,299. The MacBook Pro refresh is certainly more boring, as besides processor and RAM, most everything else remains the same.
We’re also increasing CPU and SSD speed on MacBook, adding faster processors and making faster graphics standard on our 15-inch MacBook Pro and introducing a new $1,299 (US) 13-inch MacBook Pro.” Today iMac gets a huge graphics performance increase, faster CPU performance, Thunderbolt 3 and a brighter Retina display with support for 1 billion colors. John Ternus, Apple's vice president of Hardware Engineering explains, "With major updates to iMac, and a refresh of our MacBook and MacBook Pro lines, the Mac is stronger than ever. The 21.5-inch iMac can be had with 32GB of RAM, while the 27-inch model can have up to 64GB. The non-4K only gets Intel on-board graphics.įrom a memory perspective, options are now doubled. The 27-inch variant can be configured with either an AMD Radeon 570, 575, or 580, while the 21.5-inch 4K can be had with a 555 and 560. No, the company is not going beyond 4K and 5K, but it is getting brighter - an impressive 500 nits.
In addition, the display is being improved. Surprisingly, the MacBook Air gets a little speed bump to 1.8GHz.Īpple's all-in-one is also getting new USB-C ports that are Thunderbolt 3 compatible. In addition to the Pro laptop, the company is delivering Kaby Lake to the newest MacBook (non-pro) and iMac computers too.
