BEST MAC BOOK RATING FOR 2018 PRO
The good news is that the MacBook Pro 2020 handles Apple Arcade games very well. This laptop hit just 18 frames per second on the Civilization VI benchmark, which is just a tad lower than the XPS 13’s 19 fps.
BEST MAC BOOK RATING FOR 2018 PLUS
The MacBook Pro 2020’s Iris Plus graphics are perfectly suitable for photo editing and video editing, but don’t expect to play demanding games at high frame rates. The averages are 1,421.9 MBps and 1,198.7 MBps, respectively. On the Blackmagic benchmark, the MacBook Pro’s 512GB SSD achieved a read speed of 2,060 megabytes per second and a write speed of 2,315.9. Apple’s system scored 569, but the XPS 13 scored a higher 657.Īpple’s laptops continue to have among the fastest SSDs around. The MacBook Pro didn’t perform quite as well on the PugetBench Photoshop benchmarks, which takes a laptop through 21 different tasks three times. That’s significantly faster than the Dell XPS 13 (15:40) and way ahead of the Spectre x360 (21:13). On a real-world video editing test, which involves transcoding a 4K video to 1080p, the MacBook Pro 2020 took 12 minutes and 43 seconds.

This beat the Spectre x360 and its Core i7-1065G7 CPU, which scored 4,074, but it was behind the Dell XPS 13 with the same processor as the HP (4,648.) On Geekbench 5, which measures overall performance, the MacBook Pro 2020 scored 4,399 on the multi-core portion of the test. The fans didn’t whir nearly as much as I opened more and more tabs. Even with dozens of tabs open in Chrome, streaming Spotify and editing images in Pixelmator, the MacBook Pro remained responsive and also quieter than last year’s model. My everyday workload included using the MacBook Pro on its own and when attached to a CalDigit USB hub with a 34-inch LG monitor plugged in. But on some tests Apple’s laptop trailed some Windows laptops that are in the same price range. And all of those components add up to one of the fastest 13-inch laptops around. The MacBook Pro 2020 we tested comes with a quad-core 10th gen Intel Core Core i5 processor running at 2-GHz, 16GB of 3733MHz RAM and 512GB of storage. And even though it’s just a 13-inch laptop, I was surprised by the impressive stereo separation on the opening strings to Florence and the Machine’s “Dog Days are Over.” MacBook Pro 13-inch 2020 review: Performance

When listening to a “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” by The Darkness on Spotify, the driving guitars balanced well with Justin Hawkins soaring vocals. The two speakers that flank the keyboard pump out loud and clear sound, with a surprising amount of bass. The MacBook Pro’s audio continues to be underrated.
BEST MAC BOOK RATING FOR 2018 1080P
The 4K XPS 13 scored 0.3 and the 1080p version notched 0.25. The MacBook Pro’s panel has a slight advantage on color accuracy, as it turned in a Delta-E score of 0.24 (where 0 is perfect). The Spectre x360 was a bit behind at 109%. In terms of color reproduction, the MacBook Pro 2020’s screen registered 114% of the sRGB color gamut, while the 4K XPS p version hit 107.5% and 114.8% respectively. In our lab tests, the MacBook Pro 2020’s screen averaged 485 nits of brightness, beating the 4K version of the Dell XPS 13 (301 nits) and the 1080p version (417 nits). I also appreciate that I could work outdoors in direct sunlight and still view incoming Slack messages and Google Docs. I checked out the trailer for The Boys season 2, and I could make out individual crimson streaks of blood dripping down Homelander’s face. If you're not looking to make the move to Apple Silicon yet, the MacBook Pro 13-inch with Intel is one of the best laptops you can buy. Many will prefer the MacBook Pro M1, which offers faster performance and longer battery life but just two Thunderbolt 3 ports to the Intel model's four.

MacBook Pro: Which laptop will win?Īs you'll see in my full MacBook Pro 13-inch review, the design of this laptop is looking dated at this point, as I’d like to see thinner bezels.
BEST MAC BOOK RATING FOR 2018 UPGRADE
The new Magic Keyboard is the biggest upgrade on this laptop ($1,799 as tested), which ditches the shallow Butterfly keyboard and makes a big difference.Īpple also offers Intel 10th gen processors on the 13-inch MacBook Pro, as well as faster RAM and double the storage. The 13-inch MacBook Pro 2020 delivers a great combination of computing comfort and pure power.
