Performance in use
Built around Apple's 15-inch pro chassis, this MacBook Pro is made for people who push their machines. The 8-core, 16-thread Core i9-9880H handles 4K video timelines, large Photoshop and Lightroom catalogues, Xcode builds and music production sessions without breaking stride, while Turbo Boost to 4.8GHz delivers headroom for single-threaded bursts.
The dedicated AMD Radeon Pro 560X takes the load off the CPU during colour grading, 3D preview and GPU-accelerated effects, and automatically hands off to the efficient Intel UHD Graphics 630 for everyday tasks to preserve battery. The 512GB NVMe SSD means scratch files, exports and project libraries open near-instantly.
Day to day, the 2880×1800 Retina display is a joy for both work and media — sharp text for long coding or writing sessions and accurate colour for design. Four Thunderbolt 3 ports drive external 4K/5K monitors, fast storage and docks from either side of the machine.
