Two days ago, the 2016 MacBook Pro was released, which was the most important update in the MacBook Pro series four years. Cancel the a-side backing apple logo; only retains Thunderbolt 3 and 3.5mm interface; 13-inch machine weight is only 1370g, only more than 13 inch AIR is 200g; support DCI-P3 color gamut, etc., let us not Don't pay more attention to this new MacBook Pro.
MacBook is a good example, Apple launches the butterfly keyboard in order to further enhance the portability of the product, the big knife is launched, under which the MacBook's body has reached a horror of three and weight (131mmx28.05mm19.65mm; 920g) . Apple is very simple, and the routine is obvious. After further improvement of MacBook's specifications, it has become the current 2016 MacBook Pro.
Remarks: The MacBook Pro is referred to as MBP below.
Renewal
Left: 2015 MBP Right: 2016 MBP (with Multi-Touch Bar and Touch ID)
It can be seen from the parameters given from Apple's official website. On the most practical battery capacity, the 2016 MBP with Multi-Touch Bar and Touch ID has only 49.2 watt battery capacity, while the volume of cumbersome 2015 is as high as high. 74.9 watts, on the battery capacity, the new battery capacity is 34.4%. Apple official website usually has a measure of the product's battery life. This time is no exception. Apple officially claims that the new MacBook Pro can reach 10 hours of wireless network browsing, and the old MBP is also this time, but in the latter one When the iTune film is played, the new will be two hours more than the old model. Even so, the author does not think that the battery capacity is 34.4% in the case of the same 10 hours of web browsing.
Although the battery capacity is reduced, the products that will improve can also be improved, but this is exchanged through a large sacrificing performance. The old MBP uses the 14nm process I5-5257U, TDP is 28W, low-profile frequency is 2.7GHz, which is nuclear as Iris Graphics 6100; 16 MBP (with Multi-Touch Bar and Touch ID) is 14nm The I5-6267U, TDP of TDP is 28W, the main frequency is 2.9GHz, and the Nuclear is Iris Graphics 540. The performance and energy consumption ratio of the fifth generation of Core and the sixth generation of Core is weak, which can be said that the two CPUs are small in addition to the core. On the screen, the new and old resolutions have not changed, and the 16 screen color gamut is wider, so the new MBP will not save more power on the display. As a result, it is obvious that the power consumption of the whole machine is basically not reduced, but the battery is shrunk by 34.4%, and the result is a certain degree of decrease in life.
Thunderbolt 3 interface on MBP
USB TYPE-C extension
It may be to be symmetrical, it may be to be thin, only 4 Thunderbolt 3 (USB Type-c) left with Multi-Touch Bar and Touch IDs and a 3.5mm headphone interface (still stay Headset!), After taking pictures, you can't import the SD card directly into the computer; you can't plug in any U disk; you can't add a display; you can't get the mouse; the most product interfaces on the market are not Thunderbolt 3, You may not expand your 16 MBP in a short time, plus an excellent touchpad of MBP, you will even have a mouse for a long time, but in the end, you have to face Thunderbolt 3 this embarrassing interface. Question, the best way to solve the problem is to buy a Thunderbolt 3 Dockup. This type of Thunderbolt 3 on the market is not very suitable, and the lowest needs two or three hundred yuan, and you have a thousand.
Due to Apple's official claims that these four Thunderbolt 3 interfaces can be used for charging, there are many netizens whispered. If you connect four power adapters to these four Thunderbolt 3 ports? Isn't a super fast charge? This idea is vetoed by Apple. Apple means that multiple power cord can be connected to the new MBP, but MBP will only select a Thunderbolt 3 interface to charge it, so it will not get super fast charge, and it is not necessary to worry because of 4 chargers. Explosion. And because it is a USB Type-C interface, it is actually only a USB Type-C data cable and a mobile power adapter to charge it, and the speed is still not slow. Be
About the new MBP's Thunderbolt 3 interface is also the most important thing, actually! The four Thunderbolt 3 interfaces with MULTI-TOUCH BAR and TOUCH ID are not all full-speed Thunderbolt 3 interface, the two of the two Thunderbolt 3 interfaces on the right are reduced. The MBP and 15-inch new MBP Thunderbolt 3 interface without Touch Bar are all full speed.
In fact, the Thunderbolt 3 interface can also be used to connect with large power consumption, so that your MacBook Pro realizes graphic processing performance leaps. Just currently on the market is more expensive, but you can also have a simple DIY.
Application range of DCI-P3 color gamut
In the new iPad Pro, iPhone 7, IMAC uses DCI-P3 color gamut standard, not only 100% covers the SRGB color gamut, but also more color range, especially in red and green. Color. 16 MacBook is also one of the very few notebooks that support the color gamut standard. What is it used? In fact, we usually use MacBook when using MacBook, and the current Internet, especially China's Internet page is used by SRGB standards, even 16 MBP to access the Internet, 16 MBP will automatically adapt to SRGB mode, you don't think how stunning this screen when you go online.
However, the screen of the DCI-P3 color gamut is not useless, it is a new standard for digital theater projection, especially when making a movie-level video collection and post-production, it is very important, it is used for digital movies. Later tuning, the original color gamut of the monitor. You may think so, since the movie is made according to the DCI-P3 standard, it is said that the online sources we see are also supporting the DCI-P3 color gamut. It will feel very amazing with the screen with the new MBP. Unfortunately, not. Since most of the display devices on the market still stay in SRGB standards, and in addition to many large display devices outside the phone, they cannot cover 100% SRGB color gamut, let alone support DCI-P3, so producers are selling genuine DVDs and When a genuine online is provided, the stem of the DCI-P3 color gamut is output according to SRGB, which is still the color gamut standard for SRGB. Only the original sources we see in the cinema are really supporting DCI-P3 color gamut. In summary, if you are not a job demand, the new MBP screen doesn't make you feel that it is from the old MPB's piece, but we know that the whole apple is now using DCI-P3 color gamut. Even Microsoft's latest Surface Studio also supports DCI-P3, which may be a future trend, but there is still a long time needs to develop, and when it is the MBP in your hand, can you continue to work?
Question about Touch Bar
This touch bar on the new MBP can be made with a big head. Although some software on the new MBP support Touch Bar, for most applications, they are not ready, developers can add them in their App in the future. Touch bar shortcut button. Although Touch Bar seems to be very convenient and fast, there is even a sense of future technology, but because the Touch Bar button function and sorting between each application have a difference, it will certainly take a period of time to adapt in the previous period.
It can be said that Touch Bar acts as a second keyboard of the computer, Apple's official demonstration, it can act as a valid shortcut in the picture, video clip, and most of our operations need keyboard + mouse before traveling in Touch Bar Metallion can be completed. Moreover, it is not only ordinary applications, in the game, its own space is also very large, can be directly set to many quick function keys, which is like the "F2" key to the Warcraft "F2" button "suppressed" skills, Now this "press" can appear directly on Touch Bar in the form of touch icons.
Some people may ask, if I want to install a Windows / other operating system in the new MBP, what is the Touch Bar going? Craig Federighi, Advanced Vice President of Apple Software, said that new MBP is installed with Windows 10 through Boot Camp, Touch Bar will be fixed as ESC and F1-F12 keys, and there is no difference between ordinary computers. If you install and run Windows on a virtual machine, you need your virtual machine software to adapt the Touch Bar to normalize the ESC and F1-F12 keys.
at last
As for the new MBP, how to choose, it is really a wisdom, which is the biggest update since the MacBook Pro series since four years, but we have not changed from the usage habits of traditional notebooks. Thunderbolt 3, Touch Bar, DCI-P3 These are more advanced specifications, which can only be said that the market still needs a certain adaptation time, and now they are not very good. Apple is loaded into the performance of PRO in AIR. The extensibility of Thunderbolt 3 interface is unquestionable, just need to bring a multi-bearing dock, but it is very fast with it. Surprisingly, before the new MBP released, the MacBook, 15 MacBook PROs in major e-commerce platforms have made a large price reduction, and after the new MBP release, the major e-commerce platforms will increase the old price of 500 ~ 1000 yuan does not wait, and Apple officially adjusts the 9288 yuan of MacBook to 9888 yuan. Although the renminbi has recently depreciated seriously, the exchange rate problem can still be excluded, because this price increase only on the Apple's MacBook series, the apple official and the market is expected to decrease in the new MBP, and think that this product Updates may make the older market competitiveness after price cuts.
