MacBook Pro (2015) vs MacBook Pro (2014): Is it time to upgrade?
However, the lure of the new trackpad could be enough to dissuade us from buying a 2014 refurb over the new model.Watch our 13-inch MacBook Pro (2015) review videoMacBook Pro 2015 vs 2014: DesignVirtually nothing has changed in the MacBook Pro design this year. This is because Broadwell remains unavailable in a quad-core configuration, which is what the more powerful 15-inch model goes with.Apple has made a change with the aforementioned optional discrete graphics option, which is now an AMD Radeon R9 M370X rather than last year's Nvidia GT 750M
We dug into the specs to analyze the pros and cons for each model, and came away finding that the 13" MacBook Pro still has a lot to offer for the money. Originally introduced in 2008 as the laptop that fit in a standard manila envelope, the Air has given rise to a new class of ultraportable laptops known as "Ultrabooks." The MacBook Air's defining feature is its trade-off between available ports and expandability and ultimate portability
Apple's Automatic Graphics Switching technology looks for specific functions in an application, and video playback in Apple's Quicktime qualifies it for the Nvidia GeForce 330M graphics chip. Keep in mind that this is a Windows-only battery test, which doesn't take advantage of Apple's power management capabilities in Mac OS 10, including AGS (In Windows, the discrete graphics is a permanent setting)
Apple just announced its updated 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pros -- not to mention a new 15-inch model with a brilliant Retina display, and these new machines boast some pretty impressive upgrades. There's no shortage of spec changes to keep track of, so check out our comparison charts below to see what the new models bring to the table (hint: highlights include USB 3.0, Ivy Bridge and a thinner design for the new Retina model)
Bluntly and honestly: I must once in my life have the experience, I must try to own and use this 11.6 inch beauty and if it ends up that I should have gone for 13.3 inch, I must sell and buy such one. But because it is smaller, I think the font would be really small and I wonder if it will cause eye strain over prolonged use? Does Mac OS has DPI like Windows so I can make bigger font system wide?

MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro: 13-inch Apple laptop comparison review - Review - Macworld UK
If you will be using the MacBook on the move then both the weight of the MacBook Air, and it's superb battery life are likely to swing it in your favour - unless our tests are correct and the MacBook Pro really offers the astounding 17 hours we found in our original tests! 13in MacBook Pro v MacBook Air: specs and build-to-order options There are three 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro options available and two 13-inch MacBook Air options. The MacBook Pro with Retina display and the 13in MacBook Air both offers a 16:10 ratio rather than the 16:9 screens that most other laptops use, including the MacBook Air

The 13-inch model's display has a native resolution is 2560 x 1600 pixels, though 1680 x 1050 is the highest resolution accessible through the Display system preference. Apple's standard suite of application software is included on both MacBook Pros; you get the iLife (iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand) and iWork (Keynote, Pages, Numbers) apps, along with Safari, Mail and a number of other apps and utilities

You're going to have to be a patient reader to see the big picture here -- so I apologize now for the length of this.THE BEST OF TIMESWhen I say it's the best of times to shop for a Mac, I'm talking about the operating system
MacBook Pro review (early 2011)
We'd love some fine-grained image controls at the system level for this camera -- even just white balance and exposure sliders would go a long, long way. Wrap-up Apple's forging headlong into its next era with the iPad and iPhone, and it almost seems like the company's forgotten about its Macs at times -- note that this MacBook Pro arrived in somewhat unheralded fashion just few days before the iPad 2
Apple 15-inch MacBook Pro (Late 2011) Review
;-)I get the same vibe when I read modern hardware reviews in PC Gamer magazine; it's like the companies are just paying for the reviews to be favorable. Reply KoolAidMan1 - Friday, November 18, 2011 - link As I said, that was the result of a PCMag review that rounded up several other laptops in its comparison.As I also said in another response in this thread, it obviously wasn't the fastest forever, the whole point of that story is that people got up in arms over such a favorable review, just as it happens every time Anand posts a good review of an Apple product.That is all.I wouldn't dare call MBPs the fastest laptops around, if I wanted that I would be sacrificing battery life and size for the extra TDP that the faster CPU and GPU generate
Reply tipoo - Thursday, March 10, 2011 - link p.s whats an SNB GPU? Is that a typo? SB, perhaps? Reply Brian Klug - Thursday, March 10, 2011 - link When we say that, we're just referring to the Sandy Bridge (SNB) GPU. A number of readers have written me over the years asking if Apple has improved the locking ability of the hinge in each new version of the MacBook Pro
Reply Robert says: August 9, 2011 at 1:55 am Great help, thank you! One question remains open: I was warned by my retailer that the i7 in the 11 inch 2011 MBA could cause heat problems and he recommended to buy the i5, is that true, any experiences? I preferably would go with the i7, but overheating is the reason for me to dump my actual MBA 2009, so I am hesitant Reply Tasman Hayes says: August 9, 2011 at 5:55 am Robert, Thanks for your question. The i7 probably has more capacity to drink your batteries life, as it can fly up to much higher clock rates (up to 2.9 GHz) than the i5 in the MBA 11 (up to 2.3 GHz)
For this 2 week period, if you have urgent New ASP part requirements, please contact us before ordering and we'll be able to inform you of estimated delivery dates. These machines have the keyboard integral to the unibody shell athough the keyboard can be replace independent of the main body (top case) albeit with a fair amount of effort
