Intel HD Graphics 530 + AMD Radeon Pro 450 (2GB)Ģx Thunderbolt 2 (supports DP1.2), 1x HDMI 1.4, 2x USB 3.0 (Type-A), 3.5mm Audio, SDXC SlotĢx Thunderbolt 3 (supports DP1.2 & USB 3.1 Gen 2 modes),Ĥx Thunderbolt 3 (supports DP1.2 & USB 3.1 Gen 2 modes), What separates the basic 13” from the other two models, besides cost, is that it doesn’t include Apple’s new multi-touch Touch Bar (more on this in a sec). All of them get the same new unibody design, the same wide color gamut (P3) display, and the same upgraded internal hardware composed of Intel’s 6 th generation Skylake CPUs, Thunderbolt 3, and new SSDs. All three models are form the same mold, so to speak. But make no mistake, Apple has been busy on giving their languishing laptops a much-needed facelift.Īll-told, Apple has introduced 3 new MacBook Pro models: a basic 13” version, and then two full-featured versions at 13” and 15” respectively. And at a special event held at their campus this morning, they have done just that, launching the 4 th generation of the MacBook Pro.įor better or worse the new 4 th generation family doesn’t have a catchy name like Retina to help set it apart from the prior models. As a result, Apple has been due as anyone can be to update their laptops. Only the smaller 13” model ever got Intel’s 5 th gen Broadwell CPU – the 15” model is even further back, on 4 th gen Haswell – and otherwise the laptops haven’t had major feature updates since 2013. In short, Apple hasn’t given its professional laptop lineup a real overhaul in some time. Much ink has been spilt over the last year on the subject of the MacBook Pro.
