That model will cost you a cool £2000, mind.Īpple hasn’t actually updated the 15-inch models for 2015 yet, but they’re the only ones that can fit in discrete graphics cards. Keep your expectations in check and all will be fine. Levelling-up to Broadwell comes with a side benefit too. The MacBook Pro 2015 lasts for up to 10 hours off a charge, up from nine hours in last year’s model. Having used the new version as my main laptop for a week, upgrading from the 2014 one, the difference is definitely noticeable. It’s about that extra security of getting all-day stamina even if you do play a couple of games over your lunch break.

Of course, MacBook Airs are still the reigning kings of battery life. The 13-inch MacBook Air lasts for an incredible 12 hours on light duties. Still, what really sets the Pros apart from the Airs is screen quality. Now, this hasn’t changed in the 2015 model much, but is still great. You get a 13.3-inch 2,560 x 1,600 Retina IPS screen with great colour, excellent sharpness and pretty good contrast. It’s a glossy screen so is fairly reflection-happy, but the backlight is bright enough to let you use the MacBook Pro 13 outdoors.
