The MB offers a 2304×1440 pixel retina display vs. The new 12-inch MacBook is a third of a pound lighter than our 11-inch MacBook Air units. We never use any of our MacBook Airs ports except for recharging, so those can go. What we have today is much better for our needs: 27-inch iMacs alongside 27-inch external monitors on our desks and 11-inch MacBook Airs in our backpacks. On the road, it was a nightmare of weight and size – it wouldn’t fit on tray tables – and it sucked power that we didn’t need it to have while mobile. On the desktop, it wasn’t optimal – wired everywhere, powering monitors, external drives, speakers, etc. Everyone has different needs and priorities.īefore the MacBook Air, we were outfitted with 17-inch MacBook Pros.

MacDailyNews Take: So true and this is why Apple offers a range of portable Macs. Knight writes, “In the end, you have to weigh your priorities: size, weight, processing power, compatibility with older version of OS X, screen resolution, battery life, and expansion options, both via external ports and internally.”

It also lets you upgrade RAM, uses a traditional hard drive or SSD, and has a built-in SuperDrive.”

The 13″ MacBook Pro has the widest selection of legacy ports, and it’s the one I would find most tempting with FireWire 800, USB 3, and Thunderbolt.
“But if legacy ports matter to you, skip the 12″ MacBook. And if the keyboard matters, it’s new keyboard technology should put it ahead of anything else Apple has today,” Knight writes. If battery life matters, it’s probably going to win in that category as well. If screen resolution matters, it’s also the winner. “If weight matters, the 12″ MacBook wins. But its US$1,299 price is higher than the new 13″ MacBook Air, 13″ MacBook Pro, and new 13″ MacBook Pro with Retina Display,” Dan Knight writes for Low End Mac.

Dell's non-touch version of the XPS 13 and HP's Spectre x360 are examples of Windows laptops with Broadwell processors that also score very highly, each running close to 12 hours.“Apple made some interesting choices when it designed the new 12″ MacBook, which is the thinnest, lightest Retina Display Mac notebook ever. We tried running the same test with the system's Wi-Fi antenna active, and it ran for about 13 hours. In our standard video playback battery drain test, the 2015 MacBook Pro ran for 15 hours and 46 minutes, only 40 minutes behind our all-time leader, the 2014 13-inch MacBook Air. But, both this new model and a 15-inch MacBook Pro from 2014 led in most of our tests (note that the 15-inch Pro from 2014 had a more powerful, but older, Core i7 processor and twice the RAM, at 16GB), although Apple's promise of a faster hard drive didn't help this system in our Photoshop test, where it groups with other Broadwell systems and last year's MacBook Air.Īpple has promised an extra hour or so of battery life from the Broadwell leap, and we were very impressed with the lifespan of this system. These new CPUs have made greater gains in efficiency, which can lead to better battery life. For this 2015 model, the jump to Intel's Broadwell line of fifth-generation Core i-series CPUs, in this case a Core i5-5257U, didn't move the needle much on application performance, but we didn't expect it to. MacBook laptops, especially the Pro models, which generally have faster CPU options and more RAM, always perform well in our benchmark tests. Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display (13-inch, 2015) That leaves this 13-inch Pro as the best balance of performance, battery life, portability and expandability in the current Apple laptop lineup, and one of the first places you should look if you're looking to buy a premium-priced laptop. There's a lot of buzz around the new 12-inch MacBook, but its low-power Intel Core M processor, lack of ports and low-res webcam mean it likely won't be the workhorse that other Macs are. The classic non-Retina-Display MacBook Pro is surprisingly still hanging on as the last MacBook with an optical drive, but it has little else to recommend it. The current Air models are held back by aging designs and low screen resolutions, and the 15-inch MacBook Pro has not received the same updates or new trackpad, and is simply too big to lug around more than once or twice a week (although it's great for a desk-bound system). It's perhaps because this model has best kept up with the changing laptop landscape.
