Hitherto it is a frequent task to check the components of a computer, when you have to make a second-hand purchase or buying a computer in an unofficial Apple store, with the intention of knowing the incorporated components first-hand.

At this point you will know how to access this information. If not, you must click on the apple in the upper left corner and press About this Mac. By clicking on the first four tabs you will discover the guts of this equipment, to check the specifications of the equipment.

On the other hand, a few hours ago, users who have acquired the 2016 ″ Macbook Pro 15 they are communicating various errors related to the GPU of your new teams. These users had inquired about About this Mac comment on the incorporation of better graphics than those announced by the manufacturer in the Web page. Once the verification has been carried out, this information is not true and the teams finally carry the announced graph.

Specifically, the information offered by the new Macs is IrisPro 580, when the actual chip announced by Apple is Intel HD Graphics 530. In fact, the chip that informs the computer is not incorporated by Apple in any Mac. intel_graphics

In any case, Apple follows suit by stating that the error is due to misinterpreted information between the system development team and the hardware team. It also clarifies that the correct graphics is Intel HD Graphics 530, but that an error in the information in the database leads users to confusion.

Thus the controversy of the MacBook Pro 2016 reopens, in terms of tipping the balance between more power or more efficiency. On the one hand we are talking about Pro equipment, which should offer high performance. On the other hand, we must also think that it is a team, conditioned by the autonomy of its battery and the dimensions and weight of a laptop.
