Having quieter keys is nice, but I would have liked to see Apple add more key travel to the MacBook Pro keyboards. Once you plug the Blackmagic eGPU in, it will deliver up to 2.8 times faster performance to the 15-inch MacBook Pro, and up to eight times the performance for the 13-inch Pro. This device can stand vertically to save space and comes with two Thunderbolt 3 ports, four USB 3 ports and one HDMI port. If you want even more graphics might, Apple has worked with Blackmagic on an eGPU that packs an AMD Radeon Pro 580 card with 8GB of memory for $699. This chip also adds dedicated storage encryption and secure boot capabilities for the MacBooks. Want to talk to Siri without pressing a button? The new MacBooks pack a dedicated Apple T2 chip that enables you to say "Hey, Siri" and just speak your commands or queries. However, the rated battery life for the new MacBook Pros remains the same as before. The 15-inch model now has 7.6 more watt-hours, which helps compensate for the more power-hungry DDR4 RAM. Bigger BatteriesĪpple is adding bigger batteries to the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros.

Apple hasn't made any other changes to the Touch Bar, but the upcoming macOS Mojave will add some software improvements. Plus, the Touch Bar itself supports True Tone to match the screen. Apple instituted a repair program recently to help those affected and said it was "a small percentage of keyboards." True Tone Display and Touch Barīoth the new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBooks also come with True Tone displays for the first time, which means you'll get more natural-looking colors in response to ambient light, thanks to a new dedicated color-temperature sensor. I had only a few minutes to play with the 13-inch and 15-inch models, and I did notice a slight improvement in the typing experience, but I'll need more time with the machines to render a verdict.Īpple isn't making any claims about increased durability on the new MacBook Pro keyboards, despite some users complaining about (and even suing over) failing keyboards on existing MacBook Pros. What about the keyboard? The new MacBooks for 2018 have a third-generation butterfly keyboard with the same low travel as their predecessors, but Apple has worked to make them quieter.
And it's staying at the same relatively high $1,299 starting price. Alas, Apple is not upgrading the 13-inch MacBook without Touch Bar.
