With its 8th-gen, quad-core Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM, the 13-inch MacBook Pro also smoked the competition on Geekbench 4, which measures overall performance. The SSDs in competing Windows ultraportables are six times slower, with the otherwise speedy Dell XPS 13 offering 399.4 MBps and the average premium laptop hitting 279.3 MBps. The 256GB SSD in the Surface Laptop 2 turned in a low rate of 203 MBps. The result? An average write speed of 2,682 MBps. Incredulous, we found another synthetic benchmark to test the SSD called BlackMagic Disk Speed Test. It took the system just 2 seconds to complete this task, which translates to 2,519 megabytes per second. Based on our file copy test, which involves duplicating 4.97GB worth of files, the 2018 MacBook Pro has the fastest SSD I've ever seen in a laptop. It's rare that I don't believe the results coming out of our lab, but in this case I had to do a double take. For what it's worth, though, this is the only feature on this $2,500 machine that made my kids 'ooh' and 'ah.'

The improved keyboard is available on the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar Now - we'll update this review once we've gotten our hands on the new unit. In May 2019, Apple announced a brand new version of its Butterfly keyboard that promises to be more reliable. A subsequent leak of Apple support documents seem to confirm that the new keyboards feature a thin, rubberized membrane layer under the keycaps.

This should prevent dust from getting into the keys and reduce the risk of sticky keys. My best score on the 2016 MacBook Pro was 75 wpm but I made more errors, resulting in 93.8 percent accuracy.Ī teardown by iFixit of the new MacBook Pro keyboard has discovered that Apple has employed a thin rubberized layer of silicone under its keycaps. I notched 72 words per minute with 97.6 percent accuracy. Regardless, I typed quickly with few errors on the 10FastFingers typing test. It also has a slightly softer feel than my current laptop, though I noticed less of a difference in both feel and volume between the 2017 MacBook Pro and the 2018 version.

In side-by-side tests with my 2016 MacBook Pro, the keyboard on the 2018 model is indeed quieter.
