We purchased the 15" MacBook Pro (2018) from a Apple Store which was heavily promoting the 2018 Mac series during that time.Īpple has been consistently staying true to its own unique style of packaging design for the Mac including the 15" MacBook Pro (2018). The Mac continues to use the Radeon Pro GPU but now runs on the macOS Mojave, previously High Sierra supported by the Apple 15" MacBook Pro (2017).
Like previous models, the 15" MacBook Pro (2018) keeps to four Thunderbolt 3 enabled USB Type-C connectors on the Touch Bar which support Thunderbolt 3 (40 Gb/s), USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gb/s), DisplayPort 1.4, and USB Power Delivery 2.0. This fares much better than the touch bar version of the 13" MacBook Pro (2018) which still sticks to DisplayPort 1.2 despite supporting Titan Ridge. Along with the latest Intel Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 chipset, the 15" MacBook Pro (2018) can take advantage of DisplayPort 1.4 but instead of a 8K display, the Mac only enables at most two displays over its Thunderbolt 3 connector. Both Mac's support the newer and more powerful 8th Generation Intel processor where the 15-inch version has a faster 6-core processor.
