Still, at least there are lower-priced options, and the base MacBook Pro 15-inch (2019) compares favorably with the Razer Blade Pro 17 (2019), one of the latest Windows laptops trying to win professionals away from Apple.
This means if you want to buy the model we’ve tested here, then you’re going to need to spend a lot of money. It’s the highest-end model, so it comes equipped with an 8th generation Intel Core i9 processor with 8 cores and a 2.4GHz clock speed (5.0Ghz boost), 32GB RAM, AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 with 4GB of HBM2 memory and 4TB of SSD storage for $5,149 (£4,914, AU$7,859, AED21,549). In fact, the model Apple sent us to review is something you’d have to configure yourself. However, keep in mind that the US price doesn’t include tax, whereas the UK price does.Īs we stated earlier, all the MacBook 2019 models can be configured to add more powerful components if you want – and can afford – them.
Now, for anyone with even a passing familiarity of exchange rates, you’ll know that this is a fairly raw deal for the UK.
This is due to Apple bringing UK prices into line with US dollars, so for Apple, £1 = $1. While the US and Australia essentially get an upgrade for free, UK readers will have noticed a price increase. That’s basically the same spec, aside from the updated processor and GPU.
