So should you rush out and upgrade? For now we would hold off unless you have to, meaning this might be “one to skip”. Dropping down within the 15-inch range you get a slightly slower processor, while dropping down to the 13-inch models you’re only offered dual-core processors - a shame. The 15-inch top of the range model we tested certainly proves that it has the oomph to pack a punch and get the job done.

But the other upgrades to this season’s MBP should not be forgotten: a Sandy Bridge quad-core processor that makes this portable as fast as a race-tuned desktop from last year and AMD graphics that outpace the nVidia kit by a serious margin too. Now, at last, we can shift data between devices at 21st, rather than 20th-century speeds. But since that port is actually a Thunderport link, this may just turn out to be a revolutionary development in the history of personal computing.

It’s a testament to how much the MacBook Pro line gets right that Apple need only make so few changes beyond refreshing CPU and GPU they demand deep pockets, certainly, but you’re getting an incredible solid, high-performing machine for your money.Īnálise única, Disponível online, Curta, Data:

Existing owners considering an upgrade should think long and hard about whether they actually need the bump in crunching on offer, and we’ll be interested to see how the lower price, Core i5 versions fare in benchmarking. If you’re coming to the MacBook Pro range fresh then we can’t argue with the power on offer, though you’ll pay a premium price for it: our Core i7 review unit is the most expensive preconfiguration, at $2,199. That would certainly allow users to make a more educated choice between processing and runtimes.

Apple certainly listened to complaints about their previous dual-GPU system and streamlined the switching process now, ironically, we find ourselves asking for a nudge arguably in the other direction, with a more obvious indicator of when the NVIDIA graphics are active.
