According to Apple’s website, the MacBook Pro may adjust processor speed to avoid running into thermal issues. The most interesting results were in our Photoshop and Aperture tests, which are both faster on the older systems. The $1499 13-inch 2.8GHz Core i7 model is about 9 percent faster than the system it replaces. The new $1199 13-inch 2.4GHz Core i5 MacBook Pro is just a little over 4 percent faster than the 2.3GHz system it replaces.

In terms of performance, the differences between the latest MacBook Pros and their immediate predecessors are, for the most part, as subtle as the upgrade announcement. All of the new MacBook Pros have a Thunderbolt port, which was introduced in the early 2011 models Benchmarks: 13-inch MacBook Pros The 17-inch model has three USB 2.0 ports and an ExpressCard/34 slot. The 13- and 15-inch models have two USB 2.0 ports and a SDXC card slot. The FaceTime HD webcam, stereo speakers and built-in microphone remain the same, as do the number of ports on every model: one FireWire 800, one Gigabit Ethernet, a MagSafe power connector, and one audio in and one audio out port.
All systems have a full-sized, backlit keyboard, as well as glass multi-touch trackpads with gesture support. The glossy LED backlit screens each measure 13.3-, 15.4-, and 17-inches diagonally, with 1280-by-800, 1440-by-900, and 1920-by-1200 pixel resolutions, respectively. The 13-inch models continue to use the same Intel HD Graphics 3000 integrated graphics as the previous MacBook Pros.Įxternally, the new MacBook Pros are identical to the early 2011 models. The $1499 13-inch MacBook Pro now has a 2.8GHz dual-core Core i7 processor and a 750GB hard drive it previously had a 2.7GHz dual-core Core i7 processor and a 500GB hard drive.

And truth be told, it wasn’t the flashiest update Apple has ever made to its portable lineup, with new processors and graphics highlighting the changes. Last week’s announcement of updates to the MacBook Pro was so low-key you might have missed it.
