18. MacBook Pro
Graphics performance up to twice as fast.
The 15‐inch MacBook Pro features a powerful Radeon Pro discrete GPU in every
configuration, delivering up to 130 percent faster graphics performance than the previous
generation. Manufactured with a cutting‐edge 14 nm process, Radeon Pro graphics deliver
up to 2.5x more computing power per watt. And with 64MB of embedded DRAM, the 13‐
inch model provides up to 103 percent faster integrated graphics than the previous
generation. That means more time for what matters most — creating amazing work.
19. MacBook Pro
Video Editing 3D Graphics Gaming
Edit multicam projects in Final Cut Pro X with up to 3 streams of
full‐resolution 4K video on the 15‐inch MacBook Pro — with
render speeds up to 57 percent faster.
20. MacBook Pro
Video Editing 3D Graphics Gaming
Render 3D models faster in Autodesk Maya 2017 — with up to
130% better real‐time performance than the previous‐generation
15‐inch MacBook Pro.

Video Editing 3D Graphics Gaming
Play a graphics‐intensive game like Tomb Raider on the 13‐inch
MacBook Pro with up to two times faster performance than the
previous generation.
23. MacBook Pro
Faster flash storage.
Snap to everything.
MacBook Pro includes a solid‐state drive that’s
even faster than the previous generation, with
sequential read speeds up to 3.1GB/s. The 15‐
inch model is the first available with a 2TB
SSD — enough space to take even your biggest
projects with you, without having to take an
external drive. And its memory is faster than
ever before. It all works together to help you
boot up, launch multiple apps, or import huge
files in a flash.
Processors that provide
incredible power. And use
incredibly little.
With sixth‐generation Intel Core processors,
MacBook Pro delivers amazing performance —
even when powering through the most pro‐
level processing jobs, like rendering 3D models
and encoding video. At the same time, it can
conserve energy when taking on lighter tasks,
like browsing the web and checking email.

Retina Display
The brightest, most colorful
Mac notebook display ever.
The new display in the MacBook Pro is the best ever in a Mac notebook. It features brighter LED
backlighting and an increased contrast ratio, delivering deeper blacks and brighter whites. Its
larger pixel aperture and variable refresh rate make it more power efficient than previous
generations. And it’s the first Mac notebook to support wide color, for even more vibrant greens
and reds. This ensures truer‐to‐life pictures with realistically vivid details, essential for graphic
design, color grading, and editing.

Thunderbolt 3 provides twice the display
bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2, enabling it to
support two 4K displays or one 5K display.
And with two Thunderbolt controllers in the
new 15‐inch MacBook Pro, you can send
graphics to dual 5K displays for the perfect
high‐resolution photo and video editing
setup. Thunderbolt 3 connects natively to
all displays and monitors with DisplayPort
and Mini DisplayPort, while supporting
HDMI and VGA displays with the use of an
adapter.

macOS
It’s why there’s
nothing else like a Mac.
macOS is the operating system that powers every Mac. It’s engineered to take full advantage of
the hardware and designed to be as easy to use as it is beautiful to look at. macOS includes an
amazing collection of apps you’ll use — and love — every day. It also features iCloud and other
innovative ways for your Mac, iOS devices, and Apple Watch to work together.

Photos Finder Spotlight Notifications
Siri helps you get things done just by using your voice. It also helps you get
more things done at the same time. So you can finish your document while
asking Siri to tell your coworker that it’s on the way. Looking for the
presentation you worked on last week? Just ask Siri.
