Macbook pro 13th generation. Which MacBook to choose: overview, description, characteristics, reviews. Box and packing

Successful development of the top line of laptops

In the spring of 2012, Apple created a sensation in the notebook market with the release of the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. A 15-inch IPS screen with a revolutionary 2880 × 1800 screen size, turning the heightened respect of the bulk to a novelty. However, the price was not the same for other MacBook Pros. The model turned out to be just as productive, like a MacBook Pro, but thicker and with an SSD instead of a hard drive. Correct top rіven!

Another add-on used for this recipe was the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina. Release in autumn (in Russia, sales began like leaf fall), and for rich coristuvachs, it turned out to be more attractive, lower 15-inch model. Even so, the parameters, like a tovshchina and a mass, are considered by us in front of the mobile phone. And in this plan, the 13-inch model is a priori good, the lower 15-inch. First of all: the price of the found model of the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina was $500 lower than the price of the found model of the 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina.

It was clear that it was not only a change in the diagonal, but also some changes in the hardware part, but at the same time, the script of the 13-inch laptop is still smaller, the orientation is more important on the mobile screen (type the text, watch the movie, watch the movie). or a cafe), lower on the job, which leads to high productivity (video editing, editing of great photographs). Just as with the 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina you can talk about a universal laptop for homework and three-time work, then with the 13-inch model, Apple is clearly aiming for the creation of an ideal portable model, even though the MacBook Air will be sold in the future. . and masi, then significantly shift yoga for all other parameters.

About those, how far away, we will talk in detail in this article.

Let's marvel at the main characteristics of the MacBook Pro Retina 13-inch, and also compare them with the characteristics of the great MacBook Pro 2012 rock with the same diagonal screen.

Also, we believe that the main configuration of models with a Retina display in models with a sizable screen - in the presence of a locked SSD, not a hard drive, as well as 8 GB of RAM in a younger configuration and a different number go below). However, be warned that all 13-inch Apple laptops run on an integrated GPU, while some 15-inch models can opt for discrete graphics. One more caution: between the youngest and the oldest configuration of the MacBook Pro Retina 13 ″, all retail is covered by the SSD. Processors are there, and there are the same.

As for the price, then take the identical configuration of the model with the Retina display and the great MacBook Pro (you can configure it in such a way that the performance is completely correct), then we will see that the difference in the vartost becomes 200 dollars. That great MacBook Pro with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB SSD instead of HDD can be bought for 1499 dollars. Retail, obviously, sensible, but for a larger screen, you can pay less money and a whole lot. Vіm, while there are no residual changes, let's move on to face-to-face acquaintance with the MacBook Pro Retina 13”.

Packing and equipment

The Apple company rarely marvels at the colorful design and packaging of its products, adding to the once minimalistic approach: only the most elegant, but in a stylish white box.

What is worth in place of the box, then in this case there is a charging attachment, a cable-sustainer, a ganchirochka for cleaning the screen and a set of paper products: a short help of the MacBook Pro and OS X 10.8, a booklet with safety information and other additional information, traditional apple" stickers.

Design

The design of the 13-inch MacBook Pro is practically indistinguishable from the design of the 15-inch model. The placement of the difference is exactly the same, the flashy look also does not have any significant changes in the same line with the first model of the Retina line. Vіdkritiy laptop zahoplyuє thinness and small tovshchina case. In addition, the next vznacheti vzznachiti vuzka frame on the screen (close to a centimeter). Zavdyaki my laptop is compact for a long width, and the screen looks especially vibrant.

Main retail between 15-inch and 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina models – at Mac. The 13-inch model is 400 grams lighter, but wait a minute, it's a big deal. And the axis of the lesser tovshchina is a novelty, unfortunately, you can’t boast. Nav_t navpak, won “patted” by 1 mm. But all the same, it’s about a half-centimeter smaller, lower than the “superior” 13-inch MacBook Pro. On top of that, it's showy that the new MacBook Retina is about 400 grams lighter than the smaller 13-inch MacBook Pro, which can be a serious argument against the Retina-variant.

The keyboard of the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina is handy, the keys are medium height - lower, lower in the sizable MacBook Pro, higher, lower in the MacBook Air. It is acceptable to play on such a keyboard, although lovers of keys with a great move, it is possible, they would have known better. The touchpad is traditionally marvellous, and the gesture controls on OS X 10.8 Mountatin Lion are quite satisfying.

We repeat, we didn’t know how to place the roses in the 15-inch model: on the left side there is one USB 3.0, a headphone input 3.5 mm and two Thunderbolt, on the right side there is another USB 3.0, a full-size HDMI slot for SDXC memory cards It's a pity that the peripherals and storage devices for Thunderbolt, like before, are filled with exotics, which, more than anything, insults of roses will still not be especially brown. Then two USB 3.0, HDMI and a memory card slot are definitely not occupied.

As well as changing the configuration of roses and slots on the 13-inch MacBook Pro, the Retina model is pleased with the presence of HDMI, but also confused with the opening for the microphone, Ehternet and FireWire, as well as the amazing MacBook Pro with a similar diagonal screen. If we want to, as we say to ourselves about the mobile phone, you can do without it. And the axis of the visibility of the video-visual service, navpaki, may be in good time for organizing presentations at the enterprises.

Screen

Detailed testing of the MacBook Pro Retina 13" screen was carried out by Oleksiy Kudryavtsev, editor of the "Projectors and TV" division.

The front surface of the screen is covered with a glass glass plate until the appearance of folds with a plate of a mirror-smooth surface. It is an anti-bliss filter, moreover, the flooring is effective, which makes it possible to directly display the light bulbs, practically does not affect robots. This filter is one of the most significant factors that determine the reason why the screens of current Apple laptops in real life scenarios overturn the screens of laptops in other manufacturers for the clarity of the image. On the outer surface of the screen, there is a special oleophobic coating, which is natural, so there is no sensory finger input (if you want a lot of corystuvachs, you can touch the screen with your fingers, so it’s still possible to be relevant). Significantly, all hardware tests were carried out on the same operating system and with the inclusion of keruvane colors.

With manual chirping, the maximum value was 314 cd / m², with half the value of the regulation of radiance - 55 cd / m², with the minimum value - the lightening of the sound. As a result, at maximum brightness with bright daylight (looking at what was said above about the anti-glare filter), you can work on a laptop, and in dark, the brightness of the screen can be reduced to a comfortable level. Є automatic adjustment of brightness behind the light sensor (ventilation of the left hand in the front camera). In the upper darkness, the function of auto-sharpness changes the brightness to 6 cd / m² (it’s already dark), in the minds of an office illuminated with a piece of light, the brightness is restored to 22 cd / m² (low), in the case of a brightly sharpened one, it can rise up to 290 cd / m² (can be up to 290 cd / m² to the maximum). Therefore, the automatic regulation of clarity is not necessary to adequately respond to the sound mind. On a decrease in the brightness of the modulation, it is practically daily, so no merehtinny is visible.

The MacBook Pro has an IPS-type matrix, so the screen can be well looked around without inverting the image and without a significant change in colors, at great angles, look at the perpendicular to the screen. True, what is typical for an IPS-matrix, the black field, when retracted diagonally, hangs and, fallow in a straight line, retracts, fills a red-violet color, or closes to a neutral gray color. However, the increase in the brightness of the black field when looking at the diagonals is smaller, lower in a typical IPS-matrix. For a perpendicular look, the evenness of a black field is even better. Hour of sound at the transition of black-white-black is 23.1 ms (13.0 ms on + 10.1 ms off). The transition between pivtons 25% and 75% (according to the numerical values ​​of the color) in the loan amount is 34.3 ms. The contrast ratio of the image, lower in a typical IPS-matrix is ​​close to 900:1. Induced at 32 points, the gamma curve did not show a blockage either in the light or in the shadows, and the indicator of the approximate static function is 2.34, which is three times higher than the standard value of 2.2. When this is real, the gamma-curve actually zbіgaєtsya zі static fallow:

Cooling colors are exactly the same as sRGB:

The spectra show how light-filtered matrices mimic the components one to one:

The result of the image on the screen of a laptop may have a natural richness (guess, most digital images - illustrations, photographs, videos and movies - are optimized for display on screens with sRGB captures, or even close to new).

The balance behind the color temperature is visible - shades of grey, the color temperature is close to 6500 K, as it changes little on the entire part of the gray scale. Viewed from the spectrum of an absolutely black body (delta E), there are close to 4 units, which for a calm outbuilding can be considered a good display. Similarly, delta E varies even less, but may be significant for the subjective effect of color balance. (The dark areas of the gray scale can not be harmed, because the balance of colors there cannot be of great importance, that tactic of mitigating the color characteristics of low brightness is great.)

The characteristics of the screen allow, with great frequent certainty, to be one of the best screens among the average screens of any laptop. Behind such a screen, practically in any minds, you can practice and grow up in comfort - gratify, marvel at photography and cinema.

Platform

As already mentioned, both versions of the MacBook Pro 13″ Retina are equipped with an Intel Core i5-3210M processor (2 cores, 2.5 GHz). This is a dual-core mobile processor Ivy Bridge, following the norms of 22 nm. The frequency of the skin core becomes 2.5 GHz, and the Turbo Boost mode - up to 3.1 GHz. Hyper-Threading is supported, so the calculation can be limited to 4 threads.

We already know the sim processor from the Lenovo Thinkpad X230 laptop. Therefore, it is recommended that you return to the testing of Sergiy Korogod. Well, we are intermingled with the tests from the Mac-middle for an additional number of popular benchmarks, and we have an accent on the similarity with the 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina, which we have on the tests.

testuvannya

The processor's firmware and RAM will help us review the Geekbench 2 and Novabench benchmarks. Offending the stink presented at the Mac App Store.

At Geekbench, which is the one that improves the productivity of the CPU and RAM, the laptop scored 7440 points. This is an average result, as Tim explains, that the processor here is a dual-core Core i5, and not a dual-core Core i7, like a 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina. It's just that the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina running the 15-inch model is not only for processor productivity, but also for the capacity of the operative memory.

In the complex Novabench, the Novabench benchmark, the picture was repeated in a flash. Axis result of 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina:

And the axis - 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina:

Like Bachimo, the productivity of the graphic subsystem especially suffered in the 13-inch model. For the most part, there is nothing wonderful: the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina has integrated Intel GMA HD 4000 graphics, while the 15-inch model has discrete NVIDIA graphics of the last generation (Kepler).

The next benchmark is Cinebench 11.5. And here the picture was repeated: the 15-inch model basically outperforms the 13-inch one.

What does it mean? For now, those who can actually play 3D games on the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina won't be fooled. But the games will not go as smoothly as they would like. Vtim, in igames Mac App Store, sound pro tse ahead. Axis, for example, the side of Call of Duty: Black Ops, de clearly says that it is not recommended to play it on 13-inch MacBook Pro 2012.

However, Real Racing 2, optimized for Retina, works fine on the 13-inch model.

It is significant that the list of Mac App Store programs optimized for the Retina display has very few (less than a dozen!), so the MacBook Pro Retina gaming platform (especially the youngest models) is still hardly visible.

Then, for a great work (in office add-ons, browsers, GIMP, packages for Coda HTML-layout), the productivity of the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina is quite enough. Admittedly, we have never stumbled upon some kind of flare-ups or other manifestations of non-productive productivity. True, we did not run, say, Final Cut or similar professional resource packs. But it's obvious that serious video editing is better done with a 15-inch MacBook Pro with a discrete graphics adapter.

Software security

The laptop comes pre-installed with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

About the operating system itself, so we won’t be able to tell you how and when the installed programs are installed, the shards have already written about it, but let’s focus on the attacking power: how well do third-party programs work on the MacBook Pro Retina?

In the article about the 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina, we pointed out that the main shortcoming of this model is not enough programs that optimize the new screen. It is necessary to say that the dossi problem has not been solved. Zocrema, such a key package, like Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, like before, cannot be optimized for the Retina display and looks stingy on the MacBook. Moreover, all the icons are in “drabinkas”. Navit text, which you type in Word, suffers from the type of "drabins". People with a good eye are guaranteed not to be able to take care of each package.

Come on, OpenOffice has no such problems. Obviously, there the interface is not optimized for Retina, but the text is rendered correctly and smoothly. Therefore, in the process of testing the MacBook, OpenOffice itself was corroborated. Apple promotes its own iWork office suite (which includes the Pages text editor, Numbers spreadsheet editor, and Keynote presentation editor). Obviously, iWork will be re-optimized for Retina resolution, but it is significant that the summation of yoga with Microsoft Office (especially in folding format and multimedia presentations) is far from ideal.

Vzagali, practice has shown that the most important hours are spent in the installed appendages, in which, no matter how you guess, everything is allowed with permission. I've been working on a MacBook Pro Retina for a month, working on a new one on my main computer, and, in principle, I haven't run into similar situations due to the blame of problems with Microsoft Office. A short time in FTP-clients Cyberduck and torrent-clients Transmission I survived for a moment, since I didn’t have to marvel at the programs. 3 Image Tricks (pictured below) was more foldable, but I was getting the hang of the new GIMP.

Natomist site code in Coda 2 package.

Sites in the Safari browser looked wonderful and look better, lower on the 15-inch Retina, the shards on the 13-inch model of the screen and the building are smaller, so artifacts on raster graphic objects are not so thrown into the eyes.

We've commemorated a strange bug in Safari. Sometimes on the Internet-storing website they were not obvious, but still remember the vertical blue smuga. Obviously, the hostility is not especially psuє, but it would not mean that this fact would be wrong. For all intents and purposes, due to the lack of optimization of HTML-layout to such a high razdilnosti and dot-per-inch width. As you know, it’s not Apple’s fault, the layout can be corrected, and sooner all sites will be optimized for laptop displays of the Retina class, but the coristuvach is to blame but ready to such nuances when working.

One more specific feature of the MacBook Pro Retina is noteworthy: when you look at all the pictures, they look even worse. Because, let's say, if you have an image space of 1000 dots on the wide side, then on a great MacBook Pro it will take up more of the screen, and on a MacBook Pro Retina it will take up much less than half of the total area. Vtim, you can call to the special.

A smut smut is fed here by the one you yourself work on your laptop. If you spend 90% of your working hour in office suites and if you can put up with replacing Microsoft Office with Pages, Numbers and Keynote or with the cost-free OpenOffice, then you are unlikely to get stuck with some difficulties and ineptitude. Still, the situation with third-party software for OS X still leaves the shortest possible support in terms of allowing Retina screens.

Autonomous robot

Apple claims 7 years of work in a web browser. All the same, we didn’t get far enough to reach the first show - it’s possible, through those that set the brightness of the screen by about two-thirds of the maximum (and not 50%, as the Apple test rolls did). But, in our opinion, the most comfortable for robots was such a fairness, 50% - still not enough. Therefore, the varto orients the yearbook on six works. From one side, tse duzhe is rich. And on the other side, like a laptop built for six years of uninterrupted work, it means that you can safely take yoga without a charger, write texts in transport, use websites in a cafe, show a presentation or diagrams in zustrich, turn around at home even more. sit on the Internet for a while before going to bed. As practice shows, in the process of active transferring mist, it rarely happens that you work without interruption, it’s totaly shown that six years a day, the latest zustrіchey and relocation, you’re overwhelmed. The axis only varto signifies one nuance: in the sleeping mode (with a closed lid), the MacBook also consumes a charge - let it go and it’s not too big (a little bit for a night), but it’s still bigger, lower iPad. Tse, vtіm, close to Apple's statements danikh, zgіdno z such a MacBook Pro Retina can be in sleep mode for a month.

Also, in the process of the MacBook Pro, it was noted that the charge, that it was empty, were displayed incorrectly: over the past year, the MacBook was discharged, judging by the indicator, by a total of 3%, then over the next five years, having spent 97% of the waste. If you want to say thank you, do not hesitate before the number 0 appears on the charge indicator.

An hour of recharging the battery of the MacBook Pro Retina becomes three times more than two years, which is even worse.

Visnovki

Apple has released a year of continuation of the MacBook Pro Retina line, restocking the 13-inch model. The younger configuration is cheaper for the 15-inch model by as much as $500. Well, if you equip a great 13-inch MacBook Pro with the same components as the Retina model (for example, a 128 GB SSD instead of a 500 GB HDD and 8 GB of RAM instead of 4 GB), then the price difference between Retina and Retina stock is less than 200 dollars. More modest surcharge for a wonderful IPS-display with a separate building 2560 × 1600! Why, the MacBook Pro Retina is thinner and lighter than the “singular” MacBook Pro, and also lighter, lower than the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.

It's all about the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina, the perfect laptop for travel and mobile everyday use. However, it is possible to come to terms with some problems with third-party software (Zokrema, Microsoft Office), practically with a new day of working hours, as well as with the not correct correction of the battery charge. But the advantages of the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina overcompensate for the nuances.

I've been using the MacBook Pro for a month (until I tried it on the original MacBook Pro, and on the MacBook Air), and after my subjective evidence, I've said that I myself about such a laptop and dream. Dosit thin and light, but when you have a large screen, you don’t need a low keyboard (in Air, you should use even the lowest keys). I don’t play games on laptops and I can do without Microsoft Office, replacing it with the cost-free OpenOffice, so the MacBook Pro is perfect for me.

The only factor that can lead to a potential purchase is the price. In Russia, official resellers sell a young model for about 62,000 rubles. Ale can be found among the "syrih" post-employees for 60,000 rubles. Prote chimalo. True, there are no direct competitors for the MacBook Pro Retina - other manufacturers have not yet released models with such a wide-ranging screen. Prote, ultrabooks with Full HD display and a similar diagonal are already on sale. Let's say, ASUS UX32VD in a young configuration can be bought in a large number of stores for about 37,000 rubles. Wait a minute, sutteva difference. No one seems to be right. We are surprised that the MacBook Pro has more operative memory, and SSD replaces the HDD ... But the fact remains: today, not everyone is ready to pay 60 thousand for a laptop, even if it’s a miracle wine. However, if you are smartly working out an uncompromising solution, and if you plan to spend most of the hour with your laptop not at home, but in the future, if you will constantly wear yoga with you, then the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina will become your best friend.

The MacBook Pro with 13-inch Retina display certainly deserves our Editorial Original Design award.

The presentation of new Apple products is always a clear trend, but it’s still a slightly broader update of the already known line. At the thought of the Yabluchniks, the devices become all the best and the best. І navit those that stinks are too expensive to make expensive, like to lie down on premium-class outbuildings, not looking for buyers. Well critics vvazhayut, scho eppl nezabar kіnets.

One thing is impeccable - "apple" laptops miraculously cope with the tasks set before them. The 2017 release of the MacBook Pro 13 Retina is not a fault of the rules. It is even similar to the 2016 rock model, but with which you can boast of some improvements, even more striking old-fashioned looks, ergonomics, productivity and other striking characteristics, the skin of which we report.

Design and equipment MacBook Pro 13 Retina 2017

In 2017, sales rolled out two versions of the updated MacBook Pro with a 13-inch screen diagonal. The difference is that in one of the options there is a Touch Bar with a built-in Touch ID sensor. So, the larger version has a smaller processor, a smaller graphics processor, more memory and Thunderbolt 3 ports, a small difference in sound and batteries. The device itself from the Touch Bar and having spent it on testing before us. It's a matter of course, what's new in the MacBook Pro 13 Retina 2017 is the same as the 2016 model.

Later, marveling at the device, you immediately understand that the “apple product” and on the right are not only in the polished logo, but you know, on the upper roof. Rounded kuti, sharp edges, strictness and style of the Vikonan, subtlety and lightness - all this has long become the calling card of the virobnik. If you don't blame the critics at Apple's retailers, let the critics know that the team from Cupertino has a palm in the design.

The dimensions of the Macbook have been stripped of their reception, as well as ergonomics. It is handy to coristuvatisya, the wine is easily opened with one hand, it was metal to the body of the reception on the bunker, it is cold, it does not knit and does not pick up the beats. The design has that chosen commemoration of the virobnik's respect for all the frills. Let's look at the MacBook Pro 13 Retina like this:

1. Tovshchina - 1.49 cm.
2. Dovzhina - 30.41 cm.
3. Width - 21.24 cm.

The MacBook Pro 13 Retina is released in two color variations - a combination and a gray space. Offensively, the faces look neimovirno stylishly, pleasantly and nobly and miraculously fit in like at home, so in the working atmosphere. Zagal to inspire good, that they didn’t smash the “royal gold”. On the market there are already styles of Chinese technology in the same confusion that the creation of the Macbook 2017 would have been a bit vulgar.

Preparation of the device, like an early version, made of metal aluminum. There is a less glittery logo on the top lid. A lot of shanuvalniks in this brand are not worth much for those that the apple has ceased to be bright, but, in our opinion, it’s a plus. So the apparatus looks suvorish, aristocratic, and as if more businesslike.

On the side edges there is a standard input for headphones and a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port to support:

1. Charging gadgets.
2. displayport.
3. Thunderbolt up to 40 Gbps.
4. USB 3.1 other generation up to 10 Gb/s.

The hinge, which trims the lid, is supple, tight to the world. Kut v_dkrittya sufficient yak for robots in any minds. Cory with your laptop handily and in the train on your knees, at the table, and lie down on the sofa. In this case, you can not be afraid that the device will overheat through the repeated access, even open the ventilation from the sides, as well as the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe display.

Raising the cover, we started to finish the great touchpad, handheld, flat keyboard, Touch Bar, but let's talk about it later. For now, let’s guess only about those that the panel is not a novelty and in 2016 the “proshka” was also released in two options - with it and without it, obviously.

At the design, we weren’t able to only those who, on the surface of the topcase to lift the lid, still have a good taste. At the same time, there is a large number of apple laptops, but the virobnik doesn’t hurry to correct this detail.

The packaging, in which this model comes in a coristuvachev, is also familiar and obvious - as concise as possible, with a white color with branded apples on the sides, a MacBook Pro inscription on the front end, a neat image of a closed device on the top crist and a small small shape at the bottom. In the middle of nothing zayvogo, but everything is necessary, but itself:

1. The MacBook Pro 13 Retina itself.
2. USB C cable (two meters).
3. Charging adapter (61 W).
4. Papir of documentation.
5. Firm stickers.

Display Apple MacBook Pro 13 Retina 2017

Also, the main characteristics of the MacBook Pro 13 Retina screen:

It is noteworthy that such a color profile is chosen by professionals of the film industry for the creation of contemporary digital films. It is wider, lower in sRGB by 25 cm and becomes 45.5 cm in visible coryst. The difference is especially noticeable in the red and green spectra.

Brightness and finish evenness LED-lighting, garny display of contrast, deep blacks and miracles, increased brightness of the light. The succession of all these shows to rob this model is simply an indispensable working machine for those who work with video editing, color correction, graphic design.

So, the display of the MacBook Pro 13 Retina showed itself well when working on the street. Pokrittya, which protects the view of vidbliskiv, completely ran into its own tasks to cast it on those who have a glossy screen. It was easy to squirm, your eyes didn’t get tired, you didn’t have to turn around and be surprised. Until the oleophobic coating, the claims are not vindictive, as if the beats are left, then they are easily wiped with a special server.

Another advantage of this display is the increased pixel aperture and the change in the update frequency, which positively affects the energy efficiency of the device.

Productivity of the new MacBook Pro 13 Retina 2017

For simpler versions of the Macbook Pro 13 Retina without the Touch Bar, the performance characteristics are also different.

The device works on macOS High Sierra installations.

Additions, cooling system MacBook Pro 13 Retina

The key stroke is short, the sound is receiving, and the “blizzard” type mechanism, unlike the other generation, is four times more likely to respond to torsional, lower pitched, installations in most competitors of the “knife” type mechanisms. So, as we have on the test device with the Touch Bar panel and the built-in Touch ID sensor, the top 12 function keys of the keyboard unit are 64 buttons (USA) or 65 (ISO) including 4 arrows. For a simpler model, є 78 (USA) or 79 (ISO) buttons, middle arrows and function buttons.

Deyakі koristuvachі dznachayut, scho keyboard easy zmіchuєtsya and it's important to clean up in smіttya. On the site of the virobnik, the correct purification of the assignments of okremium was distributed with instructions. We didn’t change it and didn’t bring it to the minuses, to that, in principle, in our humble thought, it’s still not varto to be above the keyboard.

As for the MacBook Pro 13 Retina touchpad, it's really great and handy. They blamed it on the other hand for the fact that after such an expansion, there will often be problems with vipadkovy dotik, but it is acceptable that this did not happen. Force Touch even adequately captures dots, accurately controls the cursor, and knows gestures well. Also, from this point, you can see the pressure on the susilla, the painting of the strength of the pressure on the surface, the designation of the swidkost diy.

Trohi varto zupinitsya on the touch OLED-display, F-keys placed above the keyboard, but simply - on the Touch Bar. It’s really handy, wanting a little bit of a drive, we were blamed for doubts. But if you don’t try here, you won’t change. The panel gives access to various functions depending on how the program you win at the moment. On it, you can tweak the volume of music, edit videos, link to iPhone calls and FaceTime tweets, tweak font colors and objects, edit photos, insert emojis into notifications, and tap back to Apple's standard functionality and pay buttons. And not all that the Koristuvachevi Touch Bar is promoting.

From the right side of the Touch Bar there is a button with a fingerprint scanner. Vіn allows you to secure your device without entering passwords and it is also the secret keeper of your information. The cooling system pleased us with its quiet, but even more productive work. Innovative technologies for efficient cooling allow the device to stay cold when starting up the game with folding graphics. Fans with short and long shovels will significantly increase the cooling of the current and the inside of the apparatus and practically do not heat up at maximum heat.

Autonomy, camera and sound, wireless call MacBook Pro 13 Retina

In all cases, the virobnik states:

1. Until the tenth year of work on the Internet.
2. Until the tenth anniversary of the video sequence in iTunes mode.
3. Up to thirty dіb in the mode of ochіkuvannya.

Devices 2017 and 2016 have a cleaner, richer and more receptive sound that is within reach of stereo speakers with a wide dynamic range. The sound is defiantly voluminous and high-pitched, listen to music in the room or watch a movie comfortably, play loudly, nothing is less common than hearing, there are no memorable creations. The dynamics of all versions are absolutely identical.

The model with the Touch Bar panel has three microphones, while the simplified version has only two. So it is with gadgets in 2016. Having tried the offensive accessories for the butt, we did not notice any special difference in sound transmission.

The camera is in the middle, and HD FaceTime itself is 720p in a separate building. Vaughn, obviously, copes with the video chat, they recognize you without problems, so you can move “in disguise”, but don’t grimacing, you would like more.

Pros and cons Macbook Pro 13 Retina, enhanced

I’d like to briefly summarize that in the same year the filling was improved in the 2016 model year, the processor and the graphic adapter were installed, which is acceptable, the price did not add to the price of the add-on. Upgrades to the 7th generation Kaby Lake CPUs have more performance margins, more power efficiency than the lesser Skylake ones, and the newer graphics processor is faster and better at handling video files and new games. Otherwise, everything was lost in the old way and changing the 2016 model to 2017 does not make sense.

The price of the Apple MacBook Pro 13 Retina 2017 in Russia is 94,990 rubles depending on the configuration.

Why buy a MacBook Pro 13 Retina 2017, if there are few analogues from companies in the Middle Kingdom with a similar design and other similar characteristics, but at a more affordable price? If you are allowed to have financial opportu- nities - for sure, so. For the very same yaskra butt, if the original significantly plays a copy. Respect for the most important details, without compromising on corporate style, guarantee of vibrancy, ultra-modern, well-chosen filling, all rightfully occupying the leading position on the market behind the "apple" laptops. I yakscho vy zvikli koristuvatisya less than the best, yakіsnim and nadіnym, then the choice is obvious.

Even more often than not, those who want to get their own laptop like Apple ask: "Which MacBook do you choose?" Everything is not so simple, as you can imagine. There are a lot of different models of "apple" outbuildings, and all the stinks are even similar in their characteristics, the prostheses are commemorated at a price. In today's material, we reportly analyze the number of the most famous and best laptops in the form of Apple, which can be bought without a hitch.

Apple MacBook Air 13 (MMGF2)

The first model, which seems to fall on the mind when powered by "what kind of MacBook you choose" is, obviously, the MacBook Air 13. This laptop can be safely called the most balanced and popular among Apple devices in the budget segment of the company. Vіn not only miraculous pіdіyde for home vikoristannya that roboti, but still become a miraculous outhouse for trips and more expensive.

Scope of delivery

The laptop is delivered in a remarkably small firm box in white color, on the image of the model itself. Also, on the packaging, I will add the main characteristics and key features. The scope of delivery here comes: a laptop with a cord, a warranty card, a wire cable from a living block, i, vlasne, that's it.

To zovnіshny prichepitis smoothly, the shards of wine look even more healthy and beautiful. The corps of vicons is made of metal and may receive an invoice for a dotik. On the upper roof, sound the company logo near an apple, which glows when turned on.

On the left side there is a USB 3.0 port, a 3.5 mm socket for headphones and a jack for a live cable. There is a card reader on the right side, one more USB port version 3 and Thunderbolt 2.0 sockets.

As for the laptop screen, it should have a diagonal of 13.3 inches and a separate building of 1440 x 900 pixels. The matrix type is TN+film, and the pixel density is set to 127.7ppi. Apple is already famous for its well-calibrated and fixed screens, so here everything is on top of the brightness of the picture. The transfer of color is good, correct, the reserve of brightness and contrast is є, and everything is in order. The only minus, which varto means - glossy cover of the display. The fingers of the fingers on the new one are overfilled, and the stench is visible to the indefatigable eye.

Well, at the end of the trohi about the keyboard and the touchpad. In principle, here everything is bigger and lower is standard for the company. The keyboard is "urizan", without a numeric keypad, but the layout of the keys is spacious and namingly handy. The buttons may be small, but even more clear, and the skin pressure is accompanied by receiving clatter. The plan of ergonomics has a solid five. Those who work hard with the text will be satisfied.

The touchpad is also hard and light. The finger on the surface of the forge is easy, є pіdtrimka of gestures. The buttons are pressed so easily and easily. Another plus of the touchpad is different in the world - it's bigger, lower for any other laptop, which makes the process even more comfortable.

Characteristics

Pratsiuє macbook on processors Intel Core i55250U. The processor is dual-core, with a frequency of 1.6 GHz. There is an automatic overclocking mode, in which the frequency increases to 2.7 GHz, which is even worse. Also, the CPU can cache the third equal by 3 MB.

The memory in the laptop is 8 GB and there is no possibility to expand it. Pratsyuє OZP at a frequency of 1600 MHz. Like a treasure, there is a 128 GB hard disk (SSD) hard drive.

Unfortunately, the laptop has an integrated video card, Intel HD 6000. It doesn't have any video memory, so I'll take away some of the RAM.

The operating system of the laptop is Mac OS X, not Windows, as someone might think for a moment. On the right, the fact that Windows does not install on a MacBook is Apple's policy.

Well, for example, a few words about autonomy. The laptop battery can be 4900 mAh. After the re-charging of the building attachments, propraciuvate up to 12 years, which is an official indication.

Suggestions

Notes about this laptop show that the MacBook Air is a worthy and balanced addition for all its characteristics, with a gargantuan swidkistyu work and productivity. Particularly corystuvachі vіdznachayut high autonomy and vіdmіnnu akіst folded model. There can't be such a short laptop. If the screen is not Retina, that price could be less (75 thousand rubles).

Apple MacBook Pro 13 (MPXT2)

Continuing the topic "Who chooses a MacBook", we move on to the next model - Apple MacBook Pro 13. This laptop is already in the class higher, lower front. Here there is a Retina display, a thinner processor, and a higher productivity, more powerful, better for all characteristics, only more expensive.

Complete set and zovn_shnіy look

The laptop is for sale in a small firm box of white color. The middle of the package contains the next set of delivery: warranty card, instructions, laptop "Macbook Pro 13" and wire cable with power supply unit and plug.

The sound laptop looks even cooler, it's shorter, the lower version is Air. The hull is so self-destructive from metal and pofarbovaniya at sreblyasty colors. On the lower part of the laptop, you can only see gums, and traditionally, the lid is embellished with the company logo.

3 roses on the right side - more than 3.5 mm for headphones. Livoruch roztashovani 2 ports USB-C (Thunderbolt 3). As you can remember, there are no classic USB 3 ports here, so for connecting the flash drives themselves, you will have to use third-party USB hubs.

Now you can go to the display. I’ll give you a minus for a glossy cover, on which you will constantly get your fingertips. Fortunately, the whole is not big enough for the screen. Retina-display can be divided into 2560 x 1600 pixels and 13.3 diagonal. The number of pixels is 227 ppi. Matrix type - IPS. There are no reasonable claims for the quality of the image. The picture is more readable, brighter, thicker, with succulent colors, correct and natural color transfer. The margin of clarity is є, іz the contrast does not cause problems.

If there is a keyboard, then there, as a rule, vіdmіnna. The layout is three small, lower at the front model, and all the same between the buttons is sufficient, so that you don’t press on two keys in a row. If you talk about the pressure itself, then the buttons may not be big, but even then there is a clear movement. The sound of the dotikiv is practically not weird, which, without a hitch, is a plus.

The touchpad is much larger, lower in the Air version, but I’ll actually replace the mouse. Є majestic support of gestures and combinations of onslaught, to win those other functions. Also, this touchpad has the Force Touch technology, which, in fact, is the same as the sound buttons. There are special sensors standing here, which vimiryuyut the force of the onslaught and beat the vibratory air. It’s more convenient and easier to sing the world more beautifully, the lower is a classic mouse.

Notebook Specifications

It's time to move on to the characteristics The processor here is Intel, model i5 7360U, with two cores and two threads. The clock frequency becomes 2.3 GHz, and the automatic overclocking mode - 3.6 GHz. Cache of the 3rd equal є, yogo rozmir - 4 MB.

The laptop has 8 GB of RAM, without the possibility of expansion. Pratsyuє won at a frequency of 2133 MHz, which is a miraculous show.

Integrated video card - Intel Iris Plus 640, without visible memory.

A hard drive on a MacBook is a hard drive, 256 GB. Possibility to put one more, unfortunately, we don’t hope, it’s only possible to change the accumulator for more.

Like the OS is worth the Mac OS Sierra brand, like the faceless brown and yellow "chips", as well as smart optimization.

Summarizing the technical part, the varto indicates the axis of what: the system works even more quietly, without any hiccups and podgalmovuvan. Notebook productivity is good - not only for home video editing, but also for video editing, photo editing and 3D graphics. At the end of the article, a word about autonomy. The MacBook Pro 13 battery has a capacity of 6580 mAh, which allows the laptop to be recharged for more than 10 years. Vrakhovuyuchi characteristics and feasibility of the model, which ostentation can be vvazhat even kinder.

Notebook tips

Notes about the laptop show that the model "Macbook Pro 13" looked a little farther away, cica and with powerful characteristics, the laptop can't be short. So, the shortness depends on the number of excellent USB ports, the total of 2 USB-C ports, the brand of screen coverage, the strongest heating during 3rd work (requires an additional cooling pad), the number of hours on the HDMI port, not far away from the charging technology and the high price. There is no other way to complain.

Apple MacBook Pro 15 (MPTU2)

Well, the last one today is the MacBook Pro 15 laptop. Another representative of the Pro line, which deserves respect. There is a larger screen, which enhances productivity and characteristics, a more similar screen and a richer one. Report below.

A set of delivery of a laptop and a yoga-like look

There is no particular sense to write about the packaging, the pieces are the same, like and more, so you can immediately go to the complete set. In the middle of the package, except for the "Macbook Pro 15" itself, there is a wire cable with a life block, a plug, a helper from a victoria and a warranty card.

On a modern look, that design can also not be particularly snarky, the shards may be such a laptop itself, which is in front, less than a trio of larger expansions. The hull is also metal, everything is visibly selected, in one piece, it’s zabarvlennya vіdrіznyaєtsya - it’s brighter.

As for the elements of that roztashuvannya, then everything may be without change. On the right side there are 2 USB-C (Thunderbolt 3) and a 3.5 mm input for headphones. On the left side there are 2 more USB-C (Thunderbolt 3) and that's it. A floppy drive, a card reader, or something else, here, like before, is not possible.

Retina screen 15.4 inches diagonal with 2880 x 1800 pixels and 220 ppi pixels. Matrix type IPS. Up to the brightness of the display, there are no everyday complaints. The matrix is ​​adjusted and calibrated for sure. Colors are conveyed correctly, contrast, richness and brilliance are on a high level. The display is perfect for those who work with photos or vector graphics. Unfortunately, minus the screen may be glossy. Without a doubt, Apple is not to be encouraged. Well, that garazd.

About the keyboard and the touchpad, there is not much to say about the sensation, the stink shards are actually the same, like in the front model. The layout and layout is identical, the buttons are short, but clear, which is accompanied by clapping. Pratsiuvati with the keyboard handily, and tі, hto richly different, without any doubt її evaluate.

As for the touchpad, it’s three times bigger, lower for the Pro 13 laptop, and worse for the same Force Touch technology, with a lot of chips, comfort and convenience.

The only thing that is in this model is the touchbar, the woman is above the top row of keyboard buttons. This touchbar is a small touch panel, on which, depending on the situation, there are different control elements. For example, when looking at films on the touchbar, you can see the time for an hour, for which you can rewind for help. Korisna river.

MacBook Pro 15 Specifications
