At least, normal users will not notice a difference in practice. It is questionable whether this justifies an additional charge of $300.

Even the extremely demanding tool Prime95 is executed with a steady clock of 3.3 GHz – a very good result.īut how does the more expensive MacBook Pro perform within our comparison group? The advantage over the base processor Core i7-6700HQ is 10 to 15% and only 5 to 8% over the i7-6820HQ. We can see a processor temperature of up to 97 ☌ (~207 ☏) in the benchmarks, but the maximum clock of 3.4 GHz can be maintained. Instead, we focus on the (additional) performance of the components and the effects on the emissions as well as the battery runtimes. All this information is available in our in-depth review of the entry-level model with the Core i7-6700HQ and the Radeon Pro 450. The two models of the current MacBook Pro 15 obviously use the same chassis constructions, so we will not cover sections such as the Case, Connectivity, Input Devices, or Speakers in this article. While the entry-level model is available for $2399, Apple charges $3499 for the test model.

Our test sample today is the high-end model, where we checked (almost) all upgrade boxes in Apple's online store: Core i7-6920HQ (Skylake), 16 GB LPDDR3 RAM, 1 TB PCIe-SSD, and AMD Radeon Pro 460. This includes the great case, the excellent display, and the low emissions. Despite some problems, however, the current MacBook Pro is still a good product in many respects. Although 4x Thunderbolt 3 (USB Type-C) make the device quite future-proof, you will need adapters in the foreseeable future. One of the biggest issues is probably the radical change of the port situation.

Our review showed that the functionality mainly depends on the software support, but it can actually make the handling rather more complicated in practice. It is a small display above the keyboard and replaces the function keys. As well as a slimmer and lighter chassis, the big highlight is obviously the Touch Bar. The current MacBook Pro 15 is the first major redesign in the last few years.
