Apple MacBook Pro 15" 2019

At the end of spring 2019, Apple introduced the updated MacBook Pro. Ultrabooks received several significant improvements, both system and hardware. Representatives of the company claim that the device will work several times faster, from 40% to 100% depending on the configuration. We offer you to figure out exactly what are the advantages of the updated Pro line, namely the version with a 15-inch screen.

Performance and Features

The base "fifteen" received a 45-watt six-core Intel Core i7-9750U with Turbo Boost up to 4.5 GHz. The top-of-the-line MacBook Pro 15 features the i9-9980HK 8-core processor for the first time, with Turbo Boost up to 4.8GHz and 2x the performance. If this is not enough for you, you can think about custom modifications in which the clock frequency in Turbo Boost mode easily reaches 5 GHz.

According to the Cupertino experts, the updated model will perform 40% more productive than its predecessors with 6 cores, and 100% compared to 4-core models. The corporation calls the new line "the fastest MacBook ever."

Graphics capabilities have also been redesigned, with a wider choice of graphics chips for the MacBook Pro 15. Integrated Intel UHD Graphic 630, but you can choose discrete ones: Radeon Pro 555X with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory / Radeon Pro 560X with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory / Radeon Pro Vega 16 with 4 GB of HBM2 memory / Radeon Pro Vega 20 with 4 GB of HBM2 memory.

Now you can easily handle compiling code, encoding videos, creating special effects or rendering 3D models. Resource-intensive tasks will now take you much less time to complete. And that's cool, because there's still room for improvement.

- Musicians can work with multiple tracks using even more Alchemy plugins in Logic Pro X.
- 3D designers can render scenes in Maya Arnold up to two times faster.
- Photographers can do complex retouching and apply filters in Photoshop 75% faster.
- Developers can compile code in Xcode up to 65% faster.
- Scientists and researchers can run complex hydrodynamic simulations in TetrUSS up to 50% faster.
- Video editors can edit up to 11 streams of 4K video simultaneously in Final Cut Pro X.

Memory and communications

Fifteen received 16 and 32 GB of RAM, and the solid-state drive, like its predecessors, is soldered on the motherboard. (This means that you will not be able to add more memory modules yourself)

There are four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports on the case, which are ideal for recharging, synchronizing and connecting external drives or video cards. To the delight of many, the laptop still has a 3.5 audio jack for connecting headphones. A trifle, but nice. Wireless interfaces are represented by a dual-band Wi-Fi module and Bluetooth 5.0.

Case and keyboard

The aluminum chassis of the MacBook Pro is already part of a classic story. The standard was also retained in the MacBook Pro 15 2019. The main hardware innovation was the update of the butterfly keyboard mechanism. In fact, this is the fourth update of the mechanism, with which minor problems arose from time to time. (Please note that the company is correcting the error and replacing the keyboard with a new one if necessary).

The keyboard in the new models has a silicone membrane replaced with a nylon one. In all other respects, it's still the same keyboard with 65 buttons and a Touch Bar with a built-in Touch ID fingerprint scanner. The touchpad has remained unchanged, and it is still considered one of the coolest on the market.

Screen and design

Regardless of size, the new 2019 MacBook Pros support True Tone technology, which makes the image several times more pleasing to the eye. The sensors almost imperceptibly adjust the color reproduction according to the level of ambient light.

"Big brother" is endowed with a screen with a diagonal of 15 inches and a resolution of 2880x1800 pixels. The 500 cd/m2 IPS Retina display is by far the most comfortable thing to work with photos and videos at a professional level. And the bonus is that there is no negative effect on your vision. Apple has taken care of everything :)

Security and autonomy

The autonomy of Apple devices is always on top, and this was once again confirmed after the release of a new line of ultrabooks for professionals. Windows-based laptops have only recently achieved results that the Cupertino-based corporation has been boasting for nearly a decade. The MacBook Pro 15 2019 received a built-in 83.6 Wh battery and an 87 W charger. According to the data presented by the company, the laptop can work up to 10 hours and be in standby mode for up to 30 days.

To keep your MacBook as secure as possible, Apple created the Apple T2 Security Chip. Also, Apple laptops are equipped with the Secure Enclave module, which is responsible for the secure download and storage of encrypted data.
