#Mac pro 2018 review plus#
We tested the MacBook Pro 2019 against the highest-spec mid-2018, plus our previous best laptop for designers and artists, the Dell XPS 15.
#Mac pro 2018 review Pc#
We'll have to see how this compares to PC rivals, though based on what we saw from the previous generation, they'll be considerably cheaper. This will set you back a wince-inducing £6,074/£6,549 - though this is approximately the same as the highest-spec previous model – though if you drop the storage down to a more affordable 1TB, it comes in at £3,914/$4,149. Our review unit has that Radeon Vega 20 chip, a 2.4GHz Core i9 chip, 32GB of RAM and a 4TB drive. The graphics options are the Radeon Pro 560X with 4GB of GDDR5, or Radeon Pro Vega 16 or Radeon Pro Vega 20 (both which have 4GB of HBM2 higher-bandwidth memory) - the last generation MacBook Pro 15 didn't offer Vega graphics from the start, but gained them as options in a minor refresh last autumn. The latest MacBook Pro supports the same maximum amount of RAM – up to 32GB of RAM – and there's the same max 4TB NVMe SSD storage. It won't be long before those competitors release rivals, but it's nice to see Apple at the head of the pack again. Can you tell which is which?Īpple is the first company to release a laptop with Intel's 9th-gen Core i9 chips - beating Dell, HP and Lenovo. One of these is the new MacBook Pro, one is the previous generation. So whether you’re rendering using all the cores in Cinema 4D, creating intricate vector graphics in the still largely single-threaded Illustrator or piling on the layers in Photoshop, you’ll see massive performance gains. When you’re not using all the cores, Intel’s Turbo Boost technology allows you to push the clock speed higher – from 2.4GHz to 5GHz in the case of our i9-based review unit. This makes them capable of up to 40% higher performance in truly multi-threaded apps – which includes most of the professional-level creative tools used by Digital Arts readers, especially when rendering motion and animation projects. The Core i7 and i9 chips used in the 15-inch MacBook Pro have six or eight cores, whereas the previous generation topped out at six cores.

From the outside, it’s near-identical to the previous model (and the one before that) – not that that’s a bad thing aesthetically, but functionally there are the same merits and flaws as before.įor the 15-inch MacBook Pro, the performance boost comes from Intel’s 9th-generation Core i7 and i9 chips – the i9 being a designation introduced for the previous generation for the most powerful chips.
