Along the way I've found some of the frustrations I expected to be less significant than I thought they'd be, and vice-versa.Īdapters have become a part of my daily life. I mention that to make it clear that I've been living the USB-C-only lifestyle for some time now, and with just a single port. I'm a 12-inch MacBook user and have been since the first-gen model in early 2015. In a keynote filled with DJs, and family galleries in Photos, and Touch Bar access to emojis, was this new notebook no longer the machine of choice for the work-horse pro? Why not a full touchscreen? Why have you abandoned the legacy ports? Why make it thinner when pro-users care about power? Why aren't the processor and graphics the very fastest, most cutting-edge? Why is memory limited to 16GB at most? Why are you forcing the MacBook's keyboard on us?Īmid it all, a common theme: Apple has forgotten the "Professional" in recreating the MacBook Pro. All the same, even stoic, self-confident Apple was seemingly rocked by the fierce reaction to features like Thunderbolt 3 and the brand new Touch Bar. Beloved workhorse of graphic designers, video editors, coders, and others wedded to the macOS ecosystem, any change to the MacBook Pro was going to be contentious. The 15-inch (2,880 x 1,800) version of the MacBook Pro 2016, on the other hand, starts at $2,399 USD (that's Php 116,518 with current conversion and before taxes) and is equipped with a 2.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.5 GHz, 16GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage.Anticipation is a dangerous thing, and expectations around the long-awaited redesign of the Apple MacBook Pro for late 2016 were almost preternaturally high.
Other notable features of the 2016 Macbook Pro include the larger Force Touch trackpad, redesigned keyboard with second-gen butterfly mechanism for more comfortable typing experience, improved fan design and cooling system, MacOS Sierra operating system right out of the box, and louder speaker with improved bass and double the dynamic range compared to older Macbook Pros.Īs for the prices, according to Apple, the 13-inch (2,560 x 1,600) MacBook Pro 2016 with Touch Bar as well as Touch ID starts at $1,799 USD (that's Php 87,376 with current conversion and before taxes) and this variant already features a 2.9 GHz Sixth-Generation Dual-Core Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.3 GHz, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of SSD storage. Lining the power button, Touch ID lets you quickly unlock your Mac or make Apple Pay purchases in territories where it is available.
