Review on 15.4" Apple MacBook Pro 15 Mid 2018 2880x1800, Intel Core i7 2.6 GHz, RAM 16 GB, DDR4, SSD 512 GB, AMD Radeon Pro 560X, macOS, RU, MR942RU/A, space gray by Wiktor Wasilewski ᠌

Dimensions: In size closer to the old 13", you can carry in a backpack without straining your back. Performance: 8850H - great CPU, performance in Unity on par with desktop 8700 I was pleasantly surprised by the real data exchange rate (reading ~ 2600, writing ~ 1600, no kidding). I expected a little more from a discrete video card (560X), it is at the level of the desktop Nvidia GTX 560Ti, which is seven years old for a minute (but that one ate 170W, and this one - 35) Screen: Good for everyone: colors, brightness, anti-reflective coating, all sorts of designers will appreciate it. The ratio is 16:10, which is rare these days. (Now the fashion for 16:9 and the fat useless strip under the screen is the guard) TrueTone unexpectedly pleased! I used to use f. Lux / night shift to warm the light, now they are not needed at all. There is a feature: by default, the resolution is similar to 1680x1050 x2 (although the physical one is 1440x900 x2), i. E. there is more space on the screen, but it turns out not "pixel perfect" (noticeable in non-Retina programs) + in the evenings, tired eyes sometimes want to be bigger. I installed SwitchResX and I can change 1440x900-1680x1050-1920x1200 with hotkeys as needed. Trackpad: Huge! Truly the best navigation tool for a laptop today. At first it was unusual and I was afraid of accidental clicks, but they are not. The mouse is not needed. Sound: Very good, there are bottoms, there is a volume margin (I don’t turn on more than 60% in front of me) Good stereo panorama. Touchbar (strip): I was ready to dislike it, but it turned out to be convenient to change the volume and brightness with one movement, it is also quite often more convenient to select dialog buttons like Ok / Cancel on it than to hover with the trackpad. TouchID is very convenient. It is a pity that in half the cases you still need to drive in a password. Cooling: Generally cool and quiet, except for prolonged high loads. Even with a high load, it does not bake the knees the way the old proshka did. If you have it warming up in idle time, then this is a marriage. macOS is still the most convenient operating system for laptops (I'm not sure about desktop anymore)
