Compared to the MacBook test sample the keyboard of the MacBook Pro appeared to be a little softer (although it is apparently the same keyboard unit). Except of the space bar typing is also very quiet.
Each key has a soft, short travel with perceptible feedback. The single-key keyboard is also user-friendly if used for a longer time. Source: Connectivity MacBook Pro 15" Review However, most of all we miss a dedicated docking station port, which would help avoiding cable spaghetti in the office or at home. This is preferable for right-handers, but could cause troubles for left handers. It is noteworthy that all interfaces except of the Kensington lock are now on the left side. In order to be able to connect most of the available external screens a DVI or VGA adpater is also required. The old Dual-Link DVI interface was replaced by a modern mini DisplayPort. Actually the connectivity is even worse, because Apple did not provide the old FireWire 400 port, because of lack of available space. In practice you'll often come to the limits of the 2 USB ports and you'll miss an adapter for the mini DisplayPort (which does not transmit sound, and, so, can never be used with fully-fledged HDMI adapter).Īlike the former MBP (MacBook Pro) also the new model is only sparsely equipped with interfaces.
Only the 'old' Magsafe plug (I know like in the MacBook Pro) does no longer match the new look of this Apple laptop.Īlso in terms of connectivity, the first (somewhat sparse) impression persists. The opening angle of the display is now bigger by some degrees and, so, also sufficient for working on the lap. The magnetic lock works trouble-free and holds the lid sufficiently tight if closed.įinally, Apple also reacted to the biggest disadvantage of the beautifully counter-sunk display hinge. Typical Apple the gaps are precise and the display lid finally closes due to the new closing mechanism of the MacBook Air absolutely flush. Compared to the former model, the case is even thinner and marginally lighter.

The full body aluminium case has an excellent haptics and appears to be of very high-quality.

The aluminium case only finds a contrast in the display's black border (with crystal coat) and in the black plastic cover of the hinge (in order to guarantee WLAN and Bluetooth reception). Nevertheless, we liked the old power-button of the MacBook Pro even more. And also the power switch and the keyboard are the same. In the 5 th generation of MacBook Pros Apple completely re-engineered the MacBook Pro, and adopted the trend-setting MacBook Air design.Įspecially the rounded display lid reminds very much on the MacBook Air. So, this part is identical to the case section of the first MacBook Pro 15" review. Only the battery cover was not 100% accurately fitting and wobbled a little bit in the second test sample. 3D Printing, 5G, Accessory, AI, Alder Lake, AMD, Android, Apple, ARM, Audio, Benchmark, Biotech, Business, Camera, Cannon Lake, Cezanne (Zen 3), Charts, Chinese Tech, Chromebook, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake, Console, Convertible / 2-in-1, Cryptocurrency, Cyberlaw, Deal, Desktop, E-Mobility, Education, Exclusive, Fail, Foldable, Gadget, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S, Gamecheck, Gaming, Geforce, Google Pixel, GPU, How To, Ice Lake, Intel, Intel Evo, Internet of Things (IoT), iOS, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Jasper Lake, Lakefield, Laptop, Launch, Leaks / Rumors, Linux / Unix, List, Lucienne (Zen 2), MacBook, Mini PC, Monitor, MSI, OnePlus, Opinion, Phablet, Radeon, Raptor Lake, Renoir, Review Snippet, Rocket Lake, Ryzen (Zen), Science, Security, Single-Board Computer (SBC), Smart Home, Smartphone, Smartwatch, Software, Storage, Tablet, ThinkPad, Thunderbolt, Tiger Lake, Touchscreen, Ultrabook, Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR), Wearable, Wi-Fi 7, Windows, Workstation, XPS, Zen 3 (Vermeer), Zen 4Įven if you use the MacBook Pro 15" for a longer time, the excellent impression the design and the workmanship of this laptop left persists.
