According to our benchmarks, it's around 10% faster.
Having said that, the 2017 MacBook Pro has had a significant bump over its Skylake-powered predecessor. It's starting to show, too - the most recent Dell XPS 13 outclassed Apple's top-end MacBook Pro by more than 60% in multi-core performance, according to our Geekbench tests. These aren't bad specifications, necessarily, but they're no longer quite as cutting-edge as they used to be. In terms of mobility, it's definitely Apple's best laptop thus far for working on the go. In fact, it's the same weight as the equivalent MacBook Air and as thin as the Air's thickest point, although it doesn't taper to a fine edge. That's something you're going to want to be doing a lot, too - this is Apple's thinnest, lightest MacBook Pro yet, and it's never been easier to sling it in a bag when you're heading out the office. You can get your whole setup connected in one stroke (connect your monitor, keyboard, mouse and any other peripherals to the dock, which then connects to your MacBook with one cable), making it easier to flit between mobile and desk-based working. There's a silver lining, though, and that's that having to use a dock can actually streamline your workspace and make you more mobile. Your best option is to invest in a dock, which adds extra hassle and expense onto an already pricey device. If you're using it as a desktop replacement, it means you may need to rethink your workstation setup, as monitors, keyboards, and other peripherals likely won't connect directly to Thunderbolt 3 ports. This may prove a pain for a large chunk of MacBook users. If you opt for the more expensive Touch Bar-enabled laptop, you'll have four to play with, but that comes at a hefty price. The lower-cost iterations of the MacBook Pro only have two ports too (and one will need to be used for charging the laptop if you like to work with it plugged in), so only having one port will cause some annoyance. All except the standard 3.5mm jack have been replaced by Thunderbolt 3 slots that can be used for everything, including data transfer tasks and hooking up printers, an external mouse if you're not keen on using Bluetooth, a monitor and just about everything else you may want to add. Along with the USB, the Thunderbolt 2, SD card reader and HDMI ports are also gone. Unfortunately, Apple hasn't had a change of heart and has still omitted the majority of 'standard' ports, such as a full-size USB connector.

#BEST MOUSE FOR MACBOOK PRO 2017 PORTABLE#
Multi-touch gestures have also seen much improvement in this latest version of Apple's portable hardware, making it much easier to stroke using two fingers or more to complete actions. Rather than attempting to maximise the travel distance and feedback of each key, Apple has essentially done the opposite, shaving travel time down to a bare minimum. The MacBook Pro's keyboard is unquestionably one of the best on the market. Whether you use a MacBook Pro to edit images and video, or just want to watch YouTube, play around with files or need it for more intricate design work, the screen makes this all a breeze. This means the colours are richer and offer a pretty spot-on reproduction of colours - better than the majority of the notebooks available today. Apple's decided to give the 2017 MacBook Pro something of a feature boost, with a wider DCI P3 colour gamut.
Just as the brightness and contrast deserve praise, so does colour reproduction. Always one of the MacBook Pro's most redeeming features, the resolution does definitely not disappoint. Not only are the colours vibrant, with accurate contract and brightness throughout, but images are pin sharp on the 2,560 x 1,600 pixel retina display. There's no denying the 2017 MacBook Pro's screen is still stunning. With so much competition, has the MacBook Pro still got what it takes to keep Apple as king of the notebook hill?
