Apple has built a well-designed professional laptop with the MacBook Pro 15-inch (2019). It has upgraded its internal components but the lack of port variety stops it from being a truly flexible consumer device. But It has a much improved keyboard, and specs-wise, the highest configuration of the line now boasts some incremental changes, more than enough to make it worth the upgrade if you’ve got a 2017 or an older MacBook.
FEATURES:
CPU: 2.4GHz Intel Core i9 processor (octa-core, up to 5.0GHz)
Graphics: AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20
RAM: 32GB (2,400MHz DDR4)
Screen: 15.4-inch, 2,880 x 1,800 Retina display (backlit LED, IPS, 500 nits brightness, wide color P3 gamut)
Storage: 4TB SSD
Ports: 4x Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), 3.5mm headphone jack
Connectivity: 802.11ac Wi-F, Bluetooth 5.0
Camera: 720p FaceTime HD webcam
Weight: 4.02 pounds (1.83kg)
Size: 13.75 x 9.48 x 0.61 inches
The laptop lasts only 7 hours and 36 minutes and this involves looping a 1080p video at 50% brightness and volume. Apple claims the MacBook Pro 15-inch (2019) can handle 10 hours of wireless internet browsing, which seems to be its default claim for MacBook Pros these days. Therefore, you’ll be wise to carry around the MacBook Pro’s charger just in case you do run out of battery. All the MacBook 2019 models can be configured to add more powerful components if you want – and can afford – them.
