Apple MacBook Pro

Thanks to the eighth-generation Intel Core processor, the notebook experiences a significant performance boost, both for computing and graphics-intensive applications. The solid-state drive is among the fastest on the market, with read speeds of up to 3.2 GB/s. It naturally retains popular features such as the aluminum unibody design, the Force Touch trackpad, and outstanding battery life. The MacBook Pro has a total of four Thunderbolt 3 ports. The Thunderbolt 3 port is a fast all-rounder among peripheral interfaces. It has the same form factor as the current USB Type-C port and is therefore easily compatible with USB Type-C devices. However, its speed far surpasses that of other peripheral ports: 83 times faster than USB 2.0, 8 times faster than USB 3.0, and twice as fast as Thunderbolt 2. This allows you to connect not only numerous peripherals in series but also the most hardware-intensive expansions – from external graphics cards to 4K monitors. The large Force Touch trackpad features all the multi-touch and gesture functions you are accustomed to from previous models. Thanks to pressure sensors, the MacBook Pro knows not only where you are pressing but also how hard you are pressing. This enables many control options that traditional touchpads cannot handle – for example, varying speeds for fast-forwarding during video playback or pressure-sensitive drawing.
