The new Force Touch trackpad is probably the most innovative new feature of the 2015 MacBooks. Apple uses a particularly fast triple-stream adaptor from Broadcom. The wireless connectivity includes the usual features like Bluetooth 4.0 as well as WLAN 802.11 ac. This means the MBP can be used as a real working device – one ambition that does not apply for the slimmed down Air-series or the new 12-inch MacBook. The highlights of the port variety are the two Thunderbolt 2 ports (also usable as Mini-DisplayPort, up to 4K 60 Hz) in addition you get two USB 3.0 ports as well as one HDMI port (4K 24 Hz).

The specialists from iFixit only rated the MacBook with 1 out of 10 possible points. Our critical eyes could not find any build quality flaws, but we can still notice the very limited upgradeability. The chassis, which is milled from a single piece of aluminum, is not the lightest of its kind with 1.6 kg, but the stability is excellent in return and you probably get the most precise display hinges in this class.

Although there are many high-quality Ultrabooks with Windows nowadays, not many can actually reach the level of Apple. The MacBook is still the benchmark for all the rivals in respect of the quality. All the corresponding information is available in our unboxing and test video on YouTube as well as the previous review article. Since the chassis and the ports are identical to the predecessor, we won't cover them extensively once again. 3D Printing, 5G, Accessory, AI, Alder Lake, AMD, Android, Apple, ARM, Audio, Benchmark, Biotech, Business, Camera, Cannon Lake, Cezanne (Zen 3), Charts, Chinese Tech, Chromebook, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake, Console, Convertible / 2-in-1, Cryptocurrency, Cyberlaw, Deal, Desktop, E-Mobility, Education, Exclusive, Fail, Foldable, Gadget, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S, Gamecheck, Gaming, Geforce, Google Pixel, GPU, How To, Ice Lake, Intel, Intel Evo, Internet of Things (IoT), iOS, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Jasper Lake, Lakefield, Laptop, Launch, Leaks / Rumors, Linux / Unix, List, Lucienne (Zen 2), MacBook, Mini PC, Monitor, MSI, OnePlus, Opinion, Phablet, Radeon, Raptor Lake, Renoir, Review Snippet, Rocket Lake, Ryzen (Zen), Science, Security, Single-Board Computer (SBC), Smart Home, Smartphone, Smartwatch, Software, Storage, Tablet, ThinkPad, Thunderbolt, Tiger Lake, Touchscreen, Ultrabook, Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR), Wearable, Wi-Fi 7, Windows, Workstation, XPS, Zen 3 (Vermeer), Zen 4
