Apple just released the new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros just a couple of weeks before the June keynote starts and enters the WWDC. This can have two readings but the main one is that we will not have much hardware in the keynote and if we do it will be scarce.
The new MacBook Pros add the 9 GHz octa-core Intel Core i2,4 processors as a configuration option in their 15-inch version, so we are facing the first eight-core Intel mounted on the MacBook Pro. Without a doubt this and some possible changes in the butterfly keyboard of these MacBook Pro are the main novelties.
In this case, these are improvements only in the models that have the well-known Touch Bar, both in the 13 and 15-inch models. Now the model that we see has the most powerful processor is the 15-inch and we do not see changes of this type in the 13 model except for an increase in the turbo boost quad-core processor. All this may change since it has just been launched in one of those surprise or silent updates that they do at Apple from time to time and that they don't notify "all the media."
According to Apple, the new processors add a gross power that exceeds by more than 40% over the models that have six-core processors. In any case, the new eight-core processors will be more powerful and efficient than the previous ones, so If you add the rest of the hardware and software of the Mac, you have a really spectacular team. These days we will see certain tests and we will be able to confirm this data.
Butterfly keyboard improvements
This is another of the novelties that are added in the new version of these 2019 MacBook Pro, so we can say that we are facing a new generation or changes in the current ones to improve the failure of these. Surely in the iFixit explorations we can see if there really are important changes compared to the previous versions of these keyboards. What is clear is that These keyboards are very good to use for many hours but they give more problems than expected and this requires an immediate solution from Apple.
In addition, Apple has just announced an extension in the repair or replacement program for users affected by these problems with butterfly keyboards. A few weeks ago the news was known that repair times for this equipment was improving, let's hope so and that these new MacBook Pro launched a few minutes ago no longer have the recognized problem. At Apple they do not clarify exactly what they have improved or changed.
Well they will say what it is, but the quality of the apple components is exceptional and extremely safe for companies, it is worth every penny. In my company they have renewed all the computers with a credit. I'm about to order mine to get one of these beauties
