Apple 13" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, Intel Core i5 2.3GHz, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, macOS, Silver (Mid 2018)

Apple New Macbook Pro 2018

The all-new Macbook Pro with Touch Bar (2018) is Apple’s latest high-performance workhorse for creative professionals with demanding needs. It comes in two sizes: 13-inch and 15-inch. At first glance, this long-awaited Macbook Pro refresh boasts the same sleek Apple aesthetic, as well as recently introduced features such as the workflow-enhancing Touch Bar and Force Touch trackpad. However, what sets it apart from its predecessors are several under-the-hood upgrades designed to boost the MacBook Pro’s overall speed and performance. The 13-inch Pro ditches its dual-core CPU for 8th Generation quad-core i5 and i7 processors and doubled its maximum storage capacity from 1TB to 2TB. The 15-inch Pro has also gone from quad-core to 8th Generation six-core i7 and i9 processors, plus it has extended maximum storage capacity from 2TB to 4TB. Both support P3 color gamut for more vibrant, true-to-life displays and make use of Apple’s True Tone technology to automatically adjust the screen’s white balance based on your environmental lighting for a more comfortable viewing experience. The 2018 Apple Macbook Pro also features a Touch ID sensor right on the power button, a quieter keyboard, and hands-free Siri.

• Up to 32GB memory

• Up to 4.8GHz Turbo Boost

• Up to 3.2GB/s SSD read speeds

• Up to 10 hrs battery life*

*Testing conducted by Apple in June 2018 using preproduction 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i5-based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD; and preproduction 2.6GHz 6-core Intel Core i7-based 15-inch MacBook Pro systems with 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD. Testing conducted by Apple in May 2017 using preproduction 2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5-based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with 8GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The iTunes movie playback test measures battery life by playing back HD 1080p content with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The standby test measures battery life by allowing a system, connected to a wireless network and signed in to an iCloud account, to enter standby mode with Safari and Mail applications launched and all system settings left at default. Battery life varies by use and configuration.

More power at its cores.

With eighth-generation Intel Core processors, MacBook Pro reaches new heights in compute performance. The 15‑inch model now features a 6‑core Intel Core i9 processor that works up to 70 percent faster than the previous generation, enabling up to 4.8GHz Turbo Boost speeds. And a quad‑core processor on the 13‑inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar now makes it up to twice as fast as the previous generation. So when you’re powering through pro‑level processing jobs like compiling code, rendering 3D models, adding special effects, layering multiple tracks, or encoding video, you’ll get everything done. Faster.

Run more. Wait less.

For faster performance when working with large files, or running multiple pro apps or virtual machines, the 15‑inch MacBook Pro can now be configured with up to 32GB of high‑performance 2400MHz DDR4 memory.

Eye-opening graphics performance.

MacBook Pro features a Radeon Pro discrete GPU in every 15‑inch model, combining impressive power with remarkable power efficiency. And now we’ve paired each discrete GPU with 4GB of GDDR5 memory standard, giving you fluid, real‑time performance for pro tasks like rendering 3D titles in Final Cut Pro X. The 13‑inch model with Touch Bar features powerful integrated graphics with 128MB of embedded DRAM — twice as much as the previous generation — which accelerates graphics tasks. That means more time for what matters most — creating amazing work.

Apple T2 Chip: The next generation of security.

Introducing the Apple T2 chip — second‑generation custom Mac silicon designed by Apple to make MacBook Pro even more secure. Featured on the 13- and 15‑inch models with Touch Bar, the Apple T2 chip includes a Secure Enclave coprocessor that provides the foundation for secure boot and encrypted storage capabilities. It also consolidates many discrete controllers, including the system management controller, audio controller, and SSD controller, into one. And the Apple T2 chip brings a familiar voice to MacBook Pro — Hey Siri is always ready to open apps, find documents, play music, or answer your questions.

SSD Storage: Make quicker work of everything.

MacBook Pro includes a solid-state drive that’s blazing fast, with sequential read speeds up to 3.2GB/s. The 15‑inch model is available with up to a 4TB SSD, and the 13‑inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is available with up to a 2TB SSD — enough space to take even your biggest files with you, like large photo libraries or video projects. So you can boot up, launch multiple apps, or import huge files in a flash. And with the Apple T2 chip, everything is automatically encrypted on the fly.

Blackmagic eGPU: Desktop-class graphics without the desktop.

Blackmagic Design has created an external GPU (eGPU) ideal for MacBook Pro.14 So you can have desktop-class graphics performance without giving up the portability of a notebook. Housed in an all‑in‑one aluminum enclosure, the Blackmagic eGPU is powerful yet quiet, charges your MacBook Pro using Thunderbolt 3, and has built-in I/O connections to drive both a Thunderbolt 3 display and VR accessories simultaneously. With the Blackmagic eGPU and MacBook Pro, you can accelerate pro apps, create VR content, and enjoy supersmooth gaming anywhere you roam.

Thunderbolt 3: The most powerful and versatile port ever.

Thunderbolt 3 combines ultra‑high bandwidth with the ultra‑versatility of the USB‑C industry standard to create one revved‑up universal port. It integrates data transfer, charging, and video output in a single connector, delivering up to 40Gb/s of throughput for twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2. Both sizes of MacBook Pro are available with up to four ports, so you can do all of that from either side. Existing devices are easily connected with a cable or adapter. And Thunderbolt 3 is reversible, so no matter how you plug in, it’s always right side up.

Touch Bar: More ways to be productive. Always within reach.

The Touch Bar replaces the function keys that have long occupied the top of your keyboard with something much more versatile and capable. It changes automatically based on what you’re doing to show you relevant tools that are intuitive to use — system controls like volume and brightness, interactive ways to adjust or browse through content, and intelligent typing features like emoji and predictive text, just to name a few.
