I also really like the color, though I do miss the backlit Apple logo. TouchID is wonderful I hope more apps gain support for it as time passes.
DIMENSIONS OF 2018 MAC PRO PRO
The 2012 11" Air is on the left, the Space Gray 2018 Air is in the middle, and the 2013 13" MacBook Pro is on the right. Here are all three machines side by side: The new Air is smaller than my 13" rMBP in all dimensions.
Pretty impressive, given that it's holding a 13" screen in that space. While it's not as small as my 11" Air, it's close-it's nearly the same width and just a bit deeper. There's lots out there to read about how the 2018 Air compares to other current machines, or semi-new machines…but I thought it might be interesting to see how performance has changed in five-plus years.įirst off, I really like the size of the 2018 MacBook Air. I was interested in how this would turn out, as the two older Macs are both Core i7 CPUs, versus the Core i5 in the new Air.

Instead of a full review, I'll provide some brief thoughts on the machine, then move on to my main focus: The performance changes in Apple's smallest laptops from 2012 to today, based on comparisons between my three machines. If you want an in-depth review of the machine, go read Six Colors' review, or The Verge's review or Wired's review…or just start with Macrumors' round-up of reviews and go from there. Reviews of this machine are all over the net, so I'm not even going to attempt a full review. My hope is that this machine can replace two aging laptops: A 2013 13" Retina MacBook Pro (I use this when I want more "power" or screen resolution) and a 2012 11" MacBook Air (I use this when I want portability). July 20th, added 2.6GHz i7 6-Core and noted core frequency The 2018 MacBook Pro not only looks like the outgoing models, but it has the same dimensions and weight as them.I recently purchased a new 2018 13" MacBook Air-my first new Mac laptop in over five years. While a change in dimensions was unlikely, the lack of an increase in weight is impressive.
How does the 2018 MacBook Pro 15 inch compare to other Macs? Will the 6-core CPU give it enough punch to compete? And what about the GPU? This is because Apple has used bigger batteries inside the 2018 MacBook Pro models to counteract the increased power draw from the CPU, GPU.
We've compiled a graph showing the various Macs running the Multi-Core Geekbench CPU test. (Each score is the highest reported on the Geekbench Browser.) The overall score combines 25 tests including Integer, Floating Point, and Memory.

GEEKBENCH Multi-Core Floating Point Score #2018 MAC PRO CONCEPT PLUS# The OpenCL Score combines the results of 8 tests. The higher the score, the faster the Mac. The 2018 MacBook Pro GPUs are highlighted in RED. The 2018 MacBook Pro 15 inch is a CPU crunch contender - at least when running brief benchmarks like Geekbench. If that is a concern, you can use the Intel Power Gadget app to monitor the CPU clock frequency during your typical workflow.Įxtended activity with CPU intensive pro apps have been reported to cause Thermal Throttling, nullifying Turbo Boost and even dropping below the standard clock rating. The 2018 MacBook Pro's 560X GPU, however, is not impressive. Consider budgeting for an eGPU box with a high-end GPU (like the AMD Radeon Vega series) if your GPU intensive applications flounder. And even then, many apps ignore the eGPU unless the primary display is connected directly to the GPU inside.
NOTE: The new Blackmagic eGPU is getting a lot of attention. Be aware that it comes with an AMD Radeon Pro 580 pre-installed. On the positive side, it does support the LG UltraFine 5K with one of the Thunderbolt 3 ports.
