The rumor mill ran wild after the highly anticipated MacBook Pro refresh. Liquid metal, the SSD standard, high resolution, from design to date has been among the false reports. What has changed is the house. Questions like: is this model worth the upgrade, or should I wait for the new model will be answered in this article. Let's start with the changes.
Hardware
Model of a microscope is a high-end "model 15, which includes wife Sandy Quad 2.2GHz Core i7 processor, 4GB of RAM and AMD 6750m. This is a great update of the previous generation. I also selected a high-resolution screen, I gave (mac!) book. * pun *
In addition, the high-end 15 "MacBook Pro, Apple also offers two 13" models and a "machine 17. Across the board for each model has a faster processor, faster RAM, and Thunderbolt.
The latter is very interesting and a first for a laptop on the market! I do not really go into too much detail about it, but essentially, it is Intel's response to the USB. The connection is capable of transmitting video, audio and data, while at very high speeds. This means that a DVD will be transferred to external storage for 6 seconds once supported hardware fate.
When deciding between the models to realize that the 13 "models all share one HD 3000 Graphics Intel as a single supplier. This is frustrating for the players there, because the chip is quite low for games modern. The smaller models also use the differences between the Keys, who speaks of holes and lacks a subwoofer, expect sounds a little tin.
The 17 "model has a screen of 1920 x 1200 and similar specs to the MacBook Pro 15". This is good and bad. The good news is that there is space on the screen a little more real, but the game's native resolution will undoubtedly have to fight.
Body
As mentioned Apple has kept its unibody design famous for this generation of MacBook. I do not consider this a bad thing. Built by a single piece of aluminum, this notebook is very scratch resistant and suitable for research. My previous MacBook Pro (same design) completely stood the test. (Not a scratch!)
I think this is the best laptop looking out the MacBook Air. Its design is very symmetrical. Everything is exactly where you expect it to be. For example, how the speaker holes coincides with the vertical space using the keyboard. The width of the hinge also fits perfectly with the horizontal space on the keyboard. Using a combination of black and silver, Apple has managed to create something aesthetically pleasing. However, I would have liked to see some of the elements of the MacBook Air to take over. The battery indicator seems unnecessary to me and the super DVD is doomed. I guess you can expect these changes to further review.
MacBook Pro 2011 is still among the most robust laptops and better looking there, a real winner!
Show
15 "model is a standard 1440 × 900, this can be upgraded to 1680 × 1050, something that everyone should do. Apple will use high-end TN screen, so there is still, unfortunately, IPS.
The viewing angles are decent. You can read a text and distinguish details at any angle. Inevitably, however, the screen washes out the sides, especially the yellow-gray color change, announced the panel line App Store. I also noticed that the screen has a weakness for the corners, up and down. With a small amount of color began to fade. That's why we want the IPS panels, which are much better at it. Macbook Pro is still one of the best screens out there. Pop colors very pixel density and just feels good. People in search of color reproductions will be ultra-realistic look to screens of production, what happens?
For the first time, Apple has managed to jam FaceTime glossy screen HD camera. This is a logical step for the development of video between the Apple hardware. To test this, I called my laptop using the iPhone App 4 and configured to FaceTime.
Calling is easy and simple. Just click a phone number or e-mail to your contacts and the system attempts to establish a call FaceTime. This process can sometimes take longer depending on the network, but after the initial process, there is usually a good ride. The image is sharp and pleasant but not overwhelming. The picture is still soft, and similar to Logitech solutions at best. Also for such a small camera that is a significant achievement.
Benchmarks
Now is the time to put the internal parts of the test. This offer the fastest laptop Apple, my expectations were very high. The first thing I wanted to take out the battery. Apple announces seven hours of battery life for all MacBook Pro models, offering. It is against 8-10 hours of the previous generation. Most of this is probably due to the faster processor and a new way to test is supposed to better represent the actual results.
I fully charged the laptop and left the default settings to the. The light sensor is activated for more realistic results. During the test, I used everyday applications like Microsoft Word and Safari. To complicate things a little light work in 3D has been thrown into the mix.
Battery 6-hours saved
Very decent results. It 'still all day, but not very well, especially when you are thirsty quad-core processors work at all times. MacBook Air is the king of the Department of the battery.
Geekbench
This popular mac-benchmarking tool is often used as a standard to calculate the speed of the material. Unfortunately the free version only works in 32 bits, so that the final velocity should be a little faster even. Remember, the Mac has also made another 32-bit mode.
2010 Model: 5395
2011 Model: 9981
So for those who still doubt that the delay is significant here is the answer. This is almost twice as fast!
Xbench
This benchmarking tool is a great free way to get a clear picture of the machine. It not only gives a score, but also compares the strengths and weaknesses of each Mac To avoid unexpected results, this test was repeated three times and an average score on the next.
Model 2010: 228 - 218-486
2011 Model: 387 - 248 to 758
MacBook Pro than its predecessor did with ease. Cpu score seems to be growing much, but the i7 already screamer, and take a 30-point jump that much. Even considering that the dual core i7 → gap is the same.
Test Application
The time it takes to launch an application is crucial for good user experience. The air is very good for this, so I used as a benchmark. MacBook Pro comes with a new generation of 750GB 5400rpm drive. Density and additional new technologies will give Seagate an advantage over previous models Pro. But proximity can get to his sister SSD thin fast?
Both machines awakened from a cold start when they get the results. It seems that the MacBook Air is 2 to 3 times faster. Now, some smaller applications:
MacBook Air:
iTunes: 2 sec
iPhoto '11: 4 sec
Words '11: 4 sec (8 sec design incl.)
MacBook Pro:
iTunes: 4 sec
iPhoto '11: 9 sec
Word of '11: 7 sec (17 sec, including the model)
A difference is quite large and significant. After using both machines, sometimes Pro felt slower. I should mention that when applications were opened, the speeds will improve a lot. Opening of Photoshop for the second time takes only 4 seconds. But a cold start conquers all. Fortunately, users are free to upgrade the RAM and SSD storage later as prices continue to fall. I can not wait!
700MB of video conversion
Now this is a biggie. Let's see what Intel's Sandy Bridge shows a pure intensive processing task, convert movies to iPhone format. To test this I installed a video converter from one charge and iSkysoft 700mb.avi films. Settings were left at default and file target was set to "4 iPhone, MP4," with 640 × 480 pixels.
MacBook Air: 50 minutes (time to complete)
Macbook Pro: 10 minutes
Now that you mind that the MacBook Air has a 1.86 GHz dual core processor from 2.2GHz Quad Sandy Bridge Core i7 from the Pro model. There are two generations behind, missing two extra hearts, and it shows. It is the strength of the current generation Macbook Pro, it really is a workhorse laptop. It should also be shared, the processor of the MacBook Pro with a margin of 20 ~ 25% all the time, while air continued to push its limits.
Games
This particular model has a 1 GB Radeon GPU 6750m. This represents an increase from the current 512-330m above Nvidia Macbooks. Now is the time to see how much difference a year ago. Games were to be tested on the Mac natively or under Bootcamp (Windows 7, 64 bits).
Crysis
Published in 2007, was Crytek has set the bar for hardware for many years now. And even new products difficult to run the game on anything other than 1920 × 1080 Res. I first tried a run at 1024x 768 pixels, comparing it with output last year.
Macbook Pro 2010: 41fps (average)
Macbook Pro 2011: 57fps (average)
That is fine and I actually had a bit daring. As proposed resolution of 1670 x 1050 (native BTO), and ran the same tests.
Macbook Pro 2011 (native resolution high): 23
Native Resolution some players want to convert the values in the medium term. Always for a laptop these results are quite correct!
Company of Heroes
Games like CoH has proven to be true classics. Playing skirmish is still explosive, and the game is from 2007, the settings should be the high cards. I turned to call up and held my breath.
Minimum: 1.8fps
Average: 65fps
Maximum: 132
For no apparent reason, Company of Heroes can run the full game and it still looks terrible. The minimum 1.8fps, but after an investigation that only happened once for a split second. So apparently the system was doing something in the back that caused some temporary instability.
F1 2010
Last Pilot Codemasters'. I used the latest patch 1.01 (DX11) and internal benchmarking tool, which includes the entire network all around the Silverstone circuit. Remember that DX11 settings are used only in the Ultra-series.
1680x1050 2xAA
high: an average of 42fps
Ultra: 20 fps average
Game performance is very good medium-sized enterprises laptop. It must be said, however, that the speed of the fan went crazy at the time some of the highlights. In fact, sometimes, sometimes they hit 2500 + rpm for no apparent reason. Here are the temperature and the decibel product, according to internal data and the decibels iPhone application.
Temps, fans, noise
For a good read I played Civilization 5 (mac-native, but the lazy port) for a few hours and kept track constant throughout db. The atmosphere was dead quiet except for a few cars / conferences, etc. I have cut and averaged.
38dB - 46.3db. When the average 42.6db. This may not ring a bell, but the human language, the fans were audible, but still under control. It would be too difficult for a dramatic scene of the film, but gameplay wise is fine.
The fans did not start kicking until about 20 minutes of play, after which it remained at about 2700rpm each. Temps has reported the following:
This time may or may not say much, but anyway Macbook had no complaints and the case was warm at best. However, note that this is the beginning of spring now, and things could be different in mid-June But from experience, I think all is well.
Conclusions
MacBook Pro 2011 is a big upgrade over previous models. Most changes are internal, and it shows. The speed increase is quite dramatic, making this the first true portable "Mac Pro". It comes at a price, however. The unibody design wonder sometimes difficult to keep the material in check. It should also be noted that they are still very expensive and that users with lower pockets may be forced to use Intel graphics. Not a big deal for a laptop $ 1200 +. This particular model is as good as it gets, despite the Apple world, now regarded as the run of the mill.
Now, to answer your questions. For me, 2010 Macbook Pro owners should not feel rushed to update, in fact 13 inches players should not at all. And yes, you can expect a new design, which is always possible. But decided to wait at the beginning of a product cycle that seems silly to me. It's like, I am going to wait for the next model cousin who has everything you could want. The thing is, that may or may not be the case, but consider this: after the model will be even better. So buy now (just started) if you want / need.
Apple released its new version of the MacBook in February 2011. This new line of laptops was immediately welcomed by consumers because of its many updated features.
