Fortunately, turning up the display-brightness setting to the generous maximum of 500 nits somewhat mitigates the glare.
Some glare from ambient lights is to be expected from a glossy finish, but the MacBook Pro's display is one of the most reflective I've used, and glare off of it can be distracting in fluorescent-lit rooms as you move your head from side to side, as you can see in the image above. That said, in practice, I do have one quibble with the screen: the high reflectivity, which confers its own set of issues. I noticed no color shifting, posterization, or fading of the image from offsides in any direction due to the panel tech. With a native resolution of 2,560 by 1,600 pixels, this panel is incredibly crisp, and In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology means that the picture quality remains unchanged even if you're viewing the screen from extreme off-center angles. Screen quality, on the other hand, is excellent, thanks to the same Retina Display that has graced Apple ultraportables for a few years now.

It's a shame that Apple didn't work in the 1080p camera that comes standard with the iMac Pro ($4,525.00 at Walmart). It's fine for video calling and the like, but not for keeper video.

It's a 720p camera, which takes predictably grainy photos and video in low light conditions. Webcam quality on the 13-inch MacBook Pro is unchanged from last year.

A webcam placed anywhere other than above the screen results in awkward Skype sessions full of knuckles and your chin. Thin bezels are all the rage these days, and they make a laptop look oh-so-sleek, but I'm actually glad that Apple didn't go this route. It also means moving the webcam to the bottom of the display (as on the XPS 13), or even placing it in the keyboard, where you'll find it on the MateBook X Pro. To pull off this kind of relative miniaturization, though, requires dramatically slimming down the borders (or bezels) surrounding the display. At just 0.46 by 11.9 by 7.8 inches and 2.68 pounds, the Dell XPS 13 ($784.78 at Dell) is a prime example of what's possible. You can get smaller, lighter laptops that still offer a 13.3-inch screen. At 0.59 by 11.97 by 8.36 inches (HWD) and 3.02 pounds, its size and weight are average for a high-end 13-inch ultraportable. Unlike on many Windows machines, no Intel stickers mar the aluminum finish, despite the Intel silicon powering the works. It's a sleek ultraportable, clad in a silver or space gray aluminum finish that has spawned many clones, such as the near-dead-ringer Huawei MateBook X Pro ($1,407.42 at Amazon). Those wedded to macOS, though, now have new vistas of processing and local storage that just didn't exist in a small Mac laptop before.Īt first glance, the 2018 13-inch MacBook Pro looks identical to the version that Apple introduced in 2016. The laptop's Achilles' heel remains price it's still a no-doubt-premium buy versus competing Windows laptops such as the Dell XPS 13. The key upticks in Apple's 2018 model include more processor cores and threads (the biggest deal, for most folks considering an upgrade), better security, and a tweaked keyboard and display. Savvy configuration options let it serve as an everyday ultraportable for a self-employed frequent traveler or a well-heeled college student, a platform for light-to-moderate video and photo editing, and many uses in between.
#APPLE MACBOOK PRO 2018 MODEL PORTABLE#
The non-"Pro" Apple MacBook may be the most portable macOS laptop, but the 13-inch, Touch Bar-equipped Apple MacBook Pro (starts at $1,799 $3,699 as tested) is the most versatile.
