As always with Apple's touchpads, the inputs are very pleasant and precise, and incorrect inputs don't occur. Because it would lead to problems if the touchpad caught the palms of the hands while typing, Apple has implemented a software-based detection here. This feels amazingly real, and those who own an iPhone 7 already know this effect from the home button. Source: Geekbench Touchpad: bigger is better (?)Īpple is setting new standards in terms of touchpad size: the input surface takes up a good half of the wrist-rest and, as in previous year's models, is equipped with the Taptic Engine, in which no physical key is moved, but the click is simulated. Geekbench 4.0: in pure figures, the new Macbook is about 30% faster than the 2012 model.
2012 MACBOOK PRO VS 2015 MACBOOK PRO FULL
Since there is only a 300 MHz clock but 240,-€ price difference between the slowest and the fastest processor, I decided to use the smallest CPU but the full 16 GB RAM and the 512 GB SSD.
2012 MACBOOK PRO VS 2015 MACBOOK PRO PRO
But those who already own a 2015 Macbook Pro have little incentive to switch to the new vintage: the speed gains are too small to justify the surcharge.Īs before, the processor portfolio comes from Intel in the 13-inch Macbook, the largest configurable CPU is a 3.3GHz dual-core Core i7 processor with a maximum boost clock speed of up to 3.6GHz.
Macbook Pro 2016: only one type of connector, USB-COn the other hand, the new Macbooks have become a bit flatter and lighter again - there's no room for the Air in the portfolio between the passively cooled Macbook 12 and the smallest Macbook Pro with 2.0 GHz Core i5. However, it would have made more sense from the customer's point of view if at least the simple adapter for connecting previous USB devices would have been included with the new Macbook Pros. If you buy these adapters directly from Apple, this is definitely another three-digit investment - after all, Apple has significantly reduced the prices of some important adapters (such as USB-C to USB-A) by the end of the year. Apple has also configured the ports so that each port can be used for charging and supports the same standards.ĭisadvantage: if you want to connect existing hardware that does not yet have a cable with the new standard, you need a Adapter. Depending on the variant, there are up to four of these connections, which are addressed by two "Alpine Ridge" controllers. In the 2016 Macbook Pro generation, Apple is now back to USB-C as the connector format, but instead of USB it uses Thunderbolt 3. This already became apparent in the Macbook 12, which has to make do with a single USB-C port. However, the biggest innovation is hidden in the interfaces.
Both are equipped with Intel processors of the Skylake generation - like Microsoft with the Surface Book, Apple does not yet rely on the latest Kaby Lake processors, as these are not yet available as quad-core and not yet with the Iris graphics solution. Macbook Pro 2016 (Touchbar) next to Macbook Air 2012As before, the new Macbook Pro 2016 is available in a 13-inch and a 15-inch version. After my 2012 Macbook Air no longer meets my current requirements, there is now the possibility of a direct comparison. With the Macbook Pro 2016, Apple introduced new Macbooks at the end of October 2016 after a long wait.
