After streaming 15 minutes of HD video, the notebook's touchpad reached 74 degrees Fahrenheit, while both the center of the keyboard and the notebook's underside grew to 85 degrees.

You can count on the MacBook Pro to stay relatively cool while you work. The ZBook (AMD FirePro M4170) achieved a lower score, 22 fps, at its maximum resolution of 1080p.

By comparison, the Nvidia GeForce 750 M-powered XPS 15 achieved 34 fps on medium settings, though at a higher 4K resolution, while the WS60 (Nvidia Quadro K2100M) netted 29 fps on autodetect mode at 4K. The MacBook even handled the game at a manageable 40 fps at its native 2880 x 1800 resolution an auto settings. The MacBook Pro with Retina is suitable for mainstream gaming, running World of Warcraft at 1920 x 1200 at a smooth 66 frames per second and a still-playable 37 fps with the graphics kicked to Ultra. While our 2014 MacBook Pro (with integrated Iris Pro graphics) was similarly quick to render 3D titles, the notebook took a notably longer 10 hours and 46 minutes to perform the same Optical Flow conversion. This intensive Final Cut Pro feature adds frames to a video to give the illusion that it was recorded with a high-speed camera.

It took just 7 minutes to analyze and convert 1 minute and 48 seconds of 1080p footage into a half-speed slow-motion clip using Optical Flow. Our AMD-powered unit certainly doesn't disappoint 3D titles rendered instantly in Final Cut Pro, allowing me to preview them as soon as I dropped them into a video. A lower-cost configuration with integrated Intel Iris Pro graphics is also available. Packing an AMD Radeon R9 M370X GPU, the newest 15-inch MacBook Pro is designed to deliver 80 times the graphics performance as last year's model. The MacBook Pro took 4 minutes and 14 seconds to match 20,000 names to their addresses, outpacing our 5:05 average while nearly tying the ZBook 15u (4:15) and falling behind the XPS (4:09) and the WS60 (3:53). The latest MacBook also topped the XPS 15's 512GB SSD (154.2 MBps), the ZBook's 256GB SSD (175.5 MBps) and even the WS60's dual 128GB SSDs, which finished the test at an impressive 365.2 MBps. The new MacBook Pro's flash performance crushes the 282.7 MBps we churned out of last year's model, though that unit had a smaller 256GB SSD.

Having this kind of flash storage will make finding files amidst huge libraries a snap. Our review unit's 512GB SSD transferred 4.97GB of mixed media in a ridiculously quick 8 seconds, for a colossal transfer rate of 636 MB per second. The trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens looked vibrant and detailed on the Pro's Retina Display, from Finn's debris-covered face to the shiny, silver Stormtrooper armor of Captain Phasma.Īpple promises exponentially better flash performance with the refreshed MacBook Pro's next-generation PCIe-based flash storage, and the computer delivers. The laptop's gorgeous 15.4-inch, 2880 x 1800 screen impresses the second you pop it open, with app icons and images that burst with color, and text that practically looks handwritten.

There's a reason 'Retina Display' is part of the MacBook Pro's full name. Dell's latest XPS 15 (14.6 x 10 x 0.7~0.3 inches, 4.6 pounds) is just a bit heavier and taller than the Pro, while workstations such as the MSI WS60 (15.4 x 10.5 x 0.78 inches, 4.36 pounds) and HP ZBook 15u (14.8 x 10 x 0.84 inches, 4.23 pounds) are slightly lighter but have bigger footprints than Apple's notebook. Measuring 14.13 x 9.73 x 0.71 inches and weighing 4.49 pounds, the MacBook Pro is pleasingly skinny and fairly easy to carry. The MacBook's underside sports a set of barely noticeable vents on either side, with the iconic glowing Apple logo adorning the lid. The MacBook Pro continues to be one of the most seamless-looking notebooks in its category, with two subtle stereo speakers flanking the laptop's signature black chiclet keyboard.
