Whichever configuration you consider, what you’ll get is a multi-tasking monster, so to say. No such issues with any of the Core i7 variants.Īpple offers 16GB RAM with the Core i7 options, though you can configure 32GB of RAM with the Core i9 variant.
That has since been solved with the latest macOS update that is available for the MacBook Pro.
The initial firmware that shipped with the MacBook Pro 15 on the Core i9 variant had a bug, which pushed down the processor’s clock speed because of incorrect temperature settings, causing gaming and video encoding performance to suffer. It wasn’t the smoothest of starts however. This is by far and away the most powerful processor you would find in any laptop at the moment.
That is two more cores than the predecessors 4-core processor options, in case of the Core i7 and Core i9, which allows professional grade editing apps, for instance, to take advantage. Depending on which variant you pick, you get to choose between the newest generation Intel Core i7 processor and the Intel Core i9 processors-this generation is codenamed Coffee Lake. The magic of the MacBook Pro 15 (2018) lies on the inside, though. There are two colour options-silver and space grey, and we really do prefer the latter. Kept side by side with the MacBook Pro 13, the size differences do make you wonder how the MacBook Pro 15 has managed to remain so compact. For a 15.6-inch screen laptop, this weighs just 1.83 kilograms, and that is quite creditable. Combine this with the design continuity, and that makes the MacBooks distinct to identify, from even a mile away. The preciseness of the construction is something that many of Apple’s rivals are still learning to match. The colour options are unchanged and the perfection is as real as always. The design of the MacBook Pro 15 (2018) remains the same, so do the dimensions and the feel of the aluminum chassis. Here is an exclusive look at the Core i9 variant of the MacBook Pro 15 (2018).Īt first glance, not a lot has changed on the outside.
The excellent MacBook Pro line-up of 2017 has just received a big boost. None more so than with perhaps the larger of the two MacBook Pro options that you can buy-the MacBook Pro 15 (2018). After a rather subdued 2017 as far as the MacBook upgrades were concerned, Apple has created quite a stir with the 2018 refresh.
