Design – dazzling and glittery
We don’t have to brag about the construct as Apple is very hard to beat when it comes to design, shape, and layout. Although many Apple laptops are now following the same iteration, the design they feature is ideal for professionals. The model we reviewed was featherlight and ultraportable, a true companion for business users.
It offers brilliant portability with a weight around 3.02lbs (1.37kg) and a 14.9m razor-thin profile. The Hex Grey colour extends from its lid to the keyboard deck and armrest area, whereas the areas around the display are black in colour.
The German keyboard sits between two quality speakers while at the top, there is the Touch Bar. The touch bar facilitates the user by offering app controls and intuitive shortcuts after adapting to what you are doing.
Display – stunning with crisp images
The display on this MacBook Pro is splendid like other Apple laptops and delivers a dazzling display. It comes with the same Retina display which has become identify of Apple laptops with a high-resolution panel. The 15.4-inch MacBook Pro that we evaluated came with WQXGA+ display and a resolution of 2880 x 1800p.
We found its performance extra-ordinary while watching the Witcher on Netflix, whereas the colour gamut was remarkable when we played The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on it. We found the visuals crispy clear while the colours were extremely bright and lively, thanks to Intel UHD 630 on-board GPU.
Keyboard – Comfy and snug
Our model came with the German keyboard which means the order of keys on all three keyboard lines is changed. However, if you want to switch to UK English, you can easily change it using the shortcuts tab. This a comfortable keyboard with well-spaced keys and appropriate travel distance which writers and professionals would find comfy and sung.
Still, the ‘butterfly’ switch mechanism is a factor to consider since 2016, with the introduction of MacBook Pros. Nevertheless, Apple has improvised and improved the keyboard to block debris and enhance the user experience.
Touchpad – Responsive and adequate
The touchpad on this laptop is reasonably large with an area of 6.1 x 3.9 inches. This is a highly responsive touchpad which is snappy and responds quickly to commands. We didn’t experience extra resistance when we were gliding the fingers over the surface, even the areas around corners were quick to respond.
Connectivity – Future-proof
The connectivity on the MacBook Pro meets the standard of other Apple laptops in terms of ports. There are four modern Type-C ports (two on each side) and a 3.5mm headphone port. The best thing is that Apple has equipped all the ports with thunderbolt 3 ability which means you could quickly transfer data files.
Unfortunately, there is no Type-A USB port on the MacBook Pro, and you would need an adopter to connect older devices. Still, this is one of future-proof Apple laptops that has got the port selection right.
Performance – Great for multitasking
As we mentioned earlier, the MacBook Pro is among the new Apple laptops that have got the 9th generation Core i7processors. Our model came equipped with the i7-9850H CPU which offers a clock speed range from 2.6GHz to 4.6GHz. Aside from this, Apple has accumulated storage and memory with a colossal quantity. There is a 32GB RAM which is coupled with a massive 1TB fast SSD storage to endure smooth performance.
Coming to the performance, Apple MacBook Pro is a true workhorse like the most Apple laptops. We tested its performance by running heavy media programs, high-end games, hefty software, and it didn’t show any lags. This is a perfect tool for IT managers and creative professionals who often work on large files and graphic designing tools.
This is an all-rounder laptop which is suitable for everyone whether you are an entrepreneur, creative or IT developer. You won’t experience any display stuttering while playing high-end games or multitasking while editing a music video. Plus, it is lightweight, ultra-portable and can easily be packed in a backpack, so you could carry it around all day long.
Battery life – satisfactory
Apple claims a 10 hours battery life which sounds remarkable, considering the hardware selection on this MacBook Pro. Of course, no laptop could deliver the exact battery performance that a manufacturer claims, and Apple laptops are jo different. We tested its battery performance with average settings and were able to extract more than 9 hours of battery life while browsing and writing.
