Out of the box, I got several hours of life, doing work and listening to music, but like the Air’s claims, 10 hours is definitely a stretch here with everyday usage.Īgain, the biggest drawback of the 13-inch Pro is that the improved Air blurs the product lines in a number of ways. The Pro’s battery life is rated at up to 10 hours to the Air’s 11.
#MACBOOK AIR VS MACBOOK PRO 2018 13 INCH UPGRADE#
If you’re opting for the Pro over the Air, it’s likely you need more processing power for things like video editing or perhaps some gaming, so you’ll want to upgrade over the base-level to make sure you’re covered. In a lot of ways, the systems start from a similar place, but the the Pro can be specced out for better performance more befitting the Pro moniker. The Pro, however, goes all the way up to 32 GB and 4 TB, while the Air stalls out at 16 GB and 2 TB. The lines are a bit more blurred between the Air and the 13-inch Pro on this front, with both systems starting at 8 GB and 256 GB. The system also sports 16 GB of RAM and 500 GB of storage. Our system clocked 558 on GeekBench 4’s single and double-core tests. For another $200, you can bump that up to 2.3GHz. That’s $500 more than the entry-level model, at $1,799. Our system as configured sported the 2 GHz 10th-gen quad-core i5. Of course, the Pro’s processor is quad-core by default (versus the Air’s dual) and 1.7GHz (to the Air’s 1.2). Curiously, the Air ships with a 10th-gen Core i7, which the entry-level pro has an 8th gen, upgradable to 10th gen. Of course, it’s what’s inside that counts. Really, the only complaint I would level against it is that the company hasn’t done a lot to distinguish the outside of the machine from the $300 cheaper Air (the Air starts at $999, the Pro at $1,299), beyond port count.
#MACBOOK AIR VS MACBOOK PRO 2018 13 INCH DRIVER#
It’s a solid laptop that’s become a daily driver for so many of us.
Same ports (4x Thunderbolt 3/USB and headphone jack). Rumors had the company upgrading the device to a 14-inch, inline with the larger 16-inch model and further distinguishing it from the Air, but that was not to be this generation. It’s brighter and easier on the eyes, if a bit tougher on battery life. It’s also, for that matter, same as you’ll find on the Air, though the 13-inch’s is 500 nits vs. Same familiar unibody metal design in silver or space gray. The system is visually identical to earlier models. MacBook Pro 16” first impressions: Return of the Mack
