Apple MacBook Pro was recognized as the best model in 2019. The company eliminated the shortcomings of previous models and added modern technologies. Based on the technical characteristics, it is possible to say that the Apple MacBook is capable of any task.

The most important thing about the macbook pro model

Every year, Apple releases laptops in which the processor is updated. In 2019, Intel Core i7-8750H was introduced, as well as Intel Core i9-8950HK for the more expensive version.

  • Fixed last year's defect - overheating. 6 cores work at a clock frequency of 2,2 GHz.

  • Overclocking in Turbo Boost mode up to 4,1 GHz is provided, which is enough to run the most demanding video games.

  • Smooth graphics and work without hangs are ensured by the Intel HD Graphics 630 graphics core, discrete AMD Radeon Pro 560X graphics and a 12 MB cache.



A distinctive feature is the pro retina macbook screen. A characteristic feature is pixel density. The developers assure that the indicator of 220 dots per inch is not recognized by the human eye. If combined with a resolution of 2880x1800 pixels, it gives an incredibly realistic and detailed picture.



Additional features of a powerful display:

  • IPS matrix, which makes available a wide viewing angle;

  • naturalness of shades from a wide range of available colors;

  • excellent brightness of 280 cd/m2 and high contrast;

  • anti-reflective coating.

Chassis

The case of pro retina macbook is made by analogy with previous models. This is a solid piece of aluminum, from which a monolithic structure is made. Its parameters:

  • length - 34,94 cm;

  • width - 24.07 cm;

  • thickness - 1,55 cm;

  • weight - 1,83.

At the same time, the screen diagonal in the Apple MacBook Pro is 15,4 inches with an aspect ratio of 16:10. The frames are minimal, which makes the laptop the most compact on the market with such a large display.

With a weight of less than 2 kg, the laptop is easily transported, you can take it both to work and on trips. Despite all this, the trackpad (quite large) has been preserved, there is a touch-sensitive Touch Bar and an excellent acoustic system of microphones and speakers.

The keyboard in the new version has changed significantly. The previous butterfly mechanism was an unsuccessful experiment, and this shortcoming was finally eliminated. The noise and clicking have been removed, the backlash does not appear even after long-term active work. At the same time, durability and smoothness of the pressing mechanism are ensured. But it is worth considering that the keyboard is low - the key protrudes literally a millimeter above the surface.
