Such work will require some performance compromise, and Apple doesn’t want to hinder the MacBook Pro’s speed to bring an hour or two more longevity. Still, base model MBPs are expected to get 8GB to 16GB of RAM memory and up to 256GB SSD storage.Īlthough Cannon Lake chips are quite power-efficient, Apple probably won’t look into delivering more than the standard 8 to 10 hours of claimed battery life. Intel’s new processors also support LPDDR4 memory, which could finally make it possible to order a 32GB RAM MacBook - very desirable for serious production work with multiple sample libraries, virtual instruments, tens to hundreds of tracks and all that. Talk about performance! Cofee Lake is estimated to bring a 30% computing increase over current Kaby Lake chips, which may not directly reflect on speed, but still sounds very good on paper. Speaking of the latter, a hexa-core model is now a possibility, given that the new Intel Core i9 chipset will have a 6-core, 12-thread CPU core.
As of now, only the 15-incher boasts quad-core processing. If the next MacBook is powered by Intel Cofee Lake chips, it’s quite likely that the 13-inch model will become a quad-core device. Processor, graphics, memory, battery life More on that in our dedicated macOS and iOS rumor round-up (coming soon)! This will integrate nicely with the rumored ability of upcoming macOS 10.14 to run a select number of iPad apps. The competition already has 4K displays nailed, so it’s time for Cupertino to make a move and dial up those pixels.Īdditionally, Apple could introduce some form of touch input - if not a full-blown touchscreen, then at least the option of hooking up an iPad as a secondary touch-enabled display and controller. While the current MacBook Pros boast some of the finest displays ever seen among laptops, there are calls for Apple to increase the 15-inch model’s resolution to a full-blown 4K. We’d certainly love to see a more colorful MacBook Pro down the road! MacBook Pro 2018 Specs Still, Gold and Rose Gold are as classy as they can be, and quite pleasing to the eye. The MacBooks are already sold in Gold and Rose Gold in addition to Silver and Space Gray, so why not bring these colors to the MacBook Pro? There’s actually a good reason for this not to happen – the laptop is designed for working professionals and perhaps needs to look a tad more conservative and presentable. What’s more likely is that Apple will introduce new color options. We might also see the 3.5mm headphone jack go - which is almost certain to prove controversial, but may be a necessary step towards an even sleeker aluminium body. However, cropped screen bezels aren’t super-popular yet, even among high-tier laptops, so Apple is in no hurry to catch up with the industry. It’s plenty thin and light already, and doesn’t seem dated in any respect - save for the screen bezels, which may eventually see a reduction. However, the Cupertino company is actively working behind the scenes to address known issues with the current MacBook Pro and make it a better computer for professionals when the time comes - whenever that may be! Here’s how, according to the rumor mill… MacBook Pro 2018 DesignĪpple probably won’t be making any substantial changes to the current look and feel of the MacBook.
Allegedly, it’s shifting orders for models already in mass-production to Chinese manufacturing partner Foxconn in order to “save costs and reduce risks”. While Apple head of product design Jony Ive has verbally acknowledged users’ complaints, informed sources told East tech media DigiTimes (a generally reliable outlet) that Apple has no plans for major changes and updates to the fourth-generation MacBook Pro this year. Other than the better and faster memory options, MacBook owners had no compelling reason to upgrade, and musicians certainly didn’t fancy the use of USB-C dongles or purchasing adapters/cables to be able to hook up their equipment. Apple essentially forced USB-C on users a year or two earlier than it should have, and the OLED touchbar which replaced the function keys on higher-end models came off as more of a gimmick than a functional upgrade.
