If you need something completely capable of any media-related task, I’d highly recommend it.

Premiere Pro CC, After Effects, and Photoshop run like a boss on this thing. If you’d like to check out that unboxing video with benchmarks and comparisons to the other 15-inch configurations, you can find it here. I actually edited the entire review video above and the original unboxing video on this MacBook. Also, if you’re interested in the carbon fiber skin I’m rocking on this MacBook Pro (shown in the video below), you can find it here.Ĭheck out our 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro review video below: Most of those videos happen to be in 4K resolution, so it should be no surprise that I’d need something powerful to get the job done when I’m on-the-go.

Instead of focusing this review on how great (or poor) this MacBook is for everyone, I’m going to tell you how it works for me. If you’d like to check out all of the Force Touch features available with the new MacBook Pro, check out our top features article/video here. There’s also the new Force Touch trackpad which comes along with some cool features, but none of them are particularly useful to me. For full specifications on Apple’s 2015 MacBook Pro lineup, check out the Apple Store online. As expected we have a beautiful Retina display here, with a resolution of 2,880 x 1,800 that’s good for 220 ppi. I plan on using this thing for the long haul as the last MacBook Pro I had was a late 2013. This year I decided to splurge and pick up the 2.8GHz configuration and 1TB of flash storage, but I felt like it was worth the extra cash considering what I do for a living. Even with these modest upgrades, the MacBook Pro I purchased is a beast for content creation… The good news is, there’s a bump in clock speed across the board if that matters to you and we have a new GPU setup thanks to AMD in the high-end model. Unfortunately, you won’t find a shiny new processor setup this time around, as Apple stuck with the trusty old Haswell configuration, but there are some nice improvements here.

It would be silly to say that Apple’s latest iteration of the 15-inch 2015 MacBook Pro with Retina Display is the best MacBook yet, because that’s mostly the truth with every new model.
