A new set of MacBook Pro models has just been added to the lineup.
Note that this update only covers the Touch Bar models — the non-Touch Bar models stay the same.
Specs of the New MacBook Pro
Below is a rundown of the new models. (Values in parentheses are the maximum selectable configurations, with the changed parts highlighted in red.)
| MacBook Pro 13-inch | MacBook Pro 15-inch | |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | 8th-gen 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 (2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i7) | 8th-gen 2.6GHz 6-core Intel Core i5 (2.9GHz 6-core Intel Core i9) |
| Memory | 8GB 2,133MHz LPDDR3 (16GB) | 16GB 2,400MHz DDR4 (32GB) |
| Storage | 256GB (2TB) | 512GB (4TB) |
| Display | 2,560 x 1,600 Retina 13.3-inch 227ppi True Tone | 2,880 x 1,800 Retina 15.4-inch 220ppi True Tone |
| GPU | Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 | Radeon Pro 555X (Radeon Pro 560X) |
| Battery | 58.0Wh | 83.6Wh |
The CPU has moved from 7th-gen to 8th-gen, so performance is stepped up.
On the 15-inch model, you can now spec it out with an Intel Core i9 CPU and up to 32GB of memory. The memory itself has also been upgraded from the previous DDR3 2133 MHz to DDR4 2400MHz (15-inch only).
The GPU has been strengthened as well,
and storage now goes all the way up to a jaw-dropping 4TB.
Drop an extra 374,000 yen (about 3,400 USD) on it and you could practically buy yourself another Mac.
