The upgraded version of the Apple’s top-notch laptop is finally here after months of teasing. The company finally unveiled the MacBook, and it comes with some cool improvements over its predecessor. The new MacBook Pro is equipped with the latest 8th generation i5, i7, and i9 Coffee Lake professors. The all-new device comes with the latest upgrades form the company. Apple claimed that it is capable of offering 70 % better performance compared to MacBook Pro 2017. The new model also comes with company’s most talked about touch bar that also hikes up the price of the laptop.
Looking at all the upgrades, the new MacBook seems to be a desired upgrade for the enterprise users. However, considering the extra bucks they have to pay for the controversial touch bar, they might get second thoughts about the upgrade. To sort out this confusion let's have a detailed look at the new MacBook Pro-2018 and what it has to offer against to its predecessor.
Design and Feel
As we already know that Apple believes in keeping the iconic design of its products. Similarly the Macbook pro the design of this year upgrade comes with no change. The lid is still bright and well finished along with the reliable hinges at the end. The display of the MacBook also remained the same, with 13 inches and 15 inches of the variants you will be getting the same Retina 2560X1600 and 2,880X1,800 display respectively. However many other competitors have already moved to the 4K display with Window 10 laptops. We also like to see Apple adopting the change in the display too; however the current display is quite excellent with such high resolution.
With Macbook 2017 keyboard there were some issues that Apple said it has resolved in MacBook Pro-2018. The earlier model owns a keyboard that is too loud, uncomfortable and can break easily, which will cost a fortune to repair. In this year’s upgrade, Apple has replaced the keyboard with new 3rd generation butterfly keyboard. The new keyboard is more comfortable and less noisy compared to the last one. However, we don't know anything about the new keyboard in terms of reliability and endurance.
