2016 MacBook Pro vs old MacBook Pro – Software We’ll have more on this when we’ve reviewed the new models. On the 15-inch version, there’s a 76Wh cell which, again offers the same 10-hour browsing, 30-day standby. The new 13-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 54.5Wh battery (10-hour browsing, 30-day standby) while the version with the Touch Bar comes with a 49.2Wh offering, which somehow manages to offer the same 10-hour browsing and 30-day standby. On the 15-inch variant, the 99.5-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery provided up to nine hours wireless web and up to nine hours iTunes film playback. The 13-inch 2015 MacBook Pro came with a 74.9-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery, offering up to 10 hours wireless web and up to 12 hours iTunes film playback. In terms of RAM, the 2015 models came with either 8GB or 16GB, which is the same on the new models, depending on which variant you go for, while storage is now configurable up to 2TB and is much faster on the new MacBook Pros.Īnd when it comes to battery life, the new models also should manage to improve on their predecessors. You’ll get a speedy user experience either way, but the new models are much more capable than their predecessors.

That should ensure a noticeable bump in performance, though it should be said that last year’s models were no slouch in the performance department. This time around, Apple has switched to Intel’s new 6th generation Skylake processors, offering an Intel Core i5 or i7 dual-core chip depending on the configuration you choose.

The range also provided the option to upgrade several aspects of the internals, with the 15-inch model coming with quad-core i7s instead of the dual-core i5 chips in the 13-inch models. We tested out the entry level version of last year’s model, which comes with 128GB flash storage, a 2.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, Intel Iris graphics and 8GB RAM. 2016 MacBook Pro vs old MacBook Pro – HardwareĪpple has made a lot of updates to the MacBook Pro internals with the new models.

In terms of resolution, the 13-inch models come with the same 2,560 x 1,600 offering, while the 15-inch variant comes with an impressive 2,880 x 1,800 resolution.

Apple says the new screen is 67% brighter than the previous version, has 67% higher contrast ratio, and 25% more colours. What does that mean in practice? Well, if our experience with the 13-inch model is anything to go by, expect razor-sharp images.Īnd while we’re yet to test out the new versions of the MacBook Pro, we’re expecting the machines to provide similar, if not better quality.

On the 15-inch model, you’ll get a 2880 x 1,800 resolution at 220 pixels per inch. That means on the 13-inch option you’ll get a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution LED-backlit display with IPS technology, making for a pixel-per-inch density of 227. 2016 MacBook Pro vs old MacBook Pro – Displayīoth the 13-inch and 15-inch models of the 2015 MacBook Pro come with what Apple calls Retina displays.

Overall, the new models look to be much sleeker devices than their predecessors, and there’s no doubt the OLED touch panel is a distinctly cool and seemingly functional addition that adds to the modern design. The pad on the new model is much larger, however. The pads on both models will allow you to click at three different pressure levels – light, medium and heavy – giving you a few extra options when it comes to certain programs. One feature that does appear on both models is the Force Touch trackpad with pressure-sensing capabilities.
