During graphic intensive tasks such as Adobe After Effects and video rendering, the MBP 2017 really shows it’s class and by far outperforms the 2015 edition. PerformanceĪs mentioned above, the performance boost is very noticeable. And the boost in the base-level of the CPU in this machine (spec’d out) compared to my old machine (basline model) brings an insane bump in responsiveness and performance.
The screen resolution since the introduction of retina has always been above my requirements, so the real reason for switching was power. At the same time, this would be my only machine so it needed to be powerful as a desktop machine but still keep that slim form factor which Apple do an unbeatable job at. But, I wanted a more powerful processor as I was getting in to the field of drone videography and virtualisation. From experience, MacBooks easily last around seven years, so my old machine would probably have served me well until 2022.
Now that the 2016 model has been refreshed with the latest-generation Intel processors, here is my comparison on what Apple have achieved in the last two years. The 2016 release with the touch bar, Touch ID and Thunderbolt 3 really excited me but I decided to hold off and wait for the 7th generation “Kaby Lake” processors. Previously, I was using a MacBook Pro 2015 as my daily driver.
