The MacBook Pro is the laptop of choice for a wide range of professionals who need to be able to work on the go. The latest version of the MacBook Pro comes with a bevy of new improvements and features, and this excellent video review takes a look at it and what you can expect from it in practice.
Coming to you from 9 to 5 Mac, this fantastic video review takes a look at a midrange model of the new 13-inch MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro can be configured in a variety of ways ranging from about $1,300 for the base 13-inch model all the way past $6,000 for the top-end 16-inch (late 2019) version, leaving a lot of room for selecting the right model for your needs. This particular model comes in at $1,799 and seems to offer a good balance between price and performance with the following specs:
- 2.0 GHz quad-core i5 processor
- Turbo Boost up to 3.8 GHz
- 16 GB 3,733 MHz LPDDR4X RAM
- 512 GB SSD drive
- 13-inch 2,560 by 1,600 Retina display with True Tone
- Touch Bar and Touch ID
- Four Thunderbolt 3 ports
Altogether, it looks like a portable and powerful option for lots of creatives. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
Great review of fabulous line of laptops. I upgraded to Macbook 2019 2.8ghz quad core i7 last year and the 16gb RAM, fast SSD, and ability to edit 4k via FCP X still blows me away almost a year later . T3+Caldigit dock also allows me to edit using a 27", 24" and the Macbook screen. Apple has indeed almost perfected this line of laptops. I just wish the damn touchbar would go away. I use Alfred to program F keys to launch/hide apps and the slightest graze of the overly sensitive touchbar launches an app. Yeah, and I miss the escape key. I use apple bluetooth keyboard at home.
Its a massive shame more companies havent tried to integrate the touchbar into their workflow, it would be awesome for controlling sliders in Capture One or Lightroom etc.. and things like DJ software could benefit from it massively, i just guess people arent invested in making it work.
You cant expect companies to put resources into developing and maintaining some gimmick feature less than 0.1% of users would even bother using. And it will stay a gimmick unless Apple makes it standard across the laptop lineup >including< their desktop keyboards.
I’m not expecting anything, just voicing an opinion
Why have a touchbar, when you can have a touch screen?
i use my laptop up to 12-14 hours a day editing video and a7riv stills. i have 16gb ram. do you notice speed increase with 32gb using FCP X or Lightroom/C1? I usually have a bunch of programs open and wonder if 32gb makes a difference if you have C1, FCP X, Chrome, and Photomechanic?
1 word... Ryzen.
Can somebody post new stock wallpapers from the new MacBook Pro 13 2020?
