Description
The different specifications for this model make it an affordable and portable powerhouse for students, business, and personal use. This machine is great for those who need a machine to work from home, work remotely, require a machine for distance learning, and/or take online classes - with the ability to use low resource activities like blogging, enjoying streaming online content, and document creation without bogging down the system. Dual graphics processors allow the machine to regulate its memory usage by offloading some of the processing to the dedicated graphics chip, which frees up the machine's memory for other tasks - ideal for photography, photo editing, graphic design and illustration, 3d modeling, animation, motion graphics, video editing, podcasting, music production, and gaming.
The MacBook Pro Touch Bar 15" is a great choice when looking for extra power and mobility, but also a large 15.4" screen size with which to work from. The high-resolution (2880 x 1800), LED-backlit LCD screen provides vivid and clear picture, but is also equipped with a 720p FaceTime HD front-facing camera so you can FaceTime, Skype, or Zoom with friends, family, co-workers - anyone! The dual graphics chips allow for the machine to allocate more memory for large tasks that require lots of processing power. The Touch Bar allows for programmable shortcuts beyond the traditional F-keys, but also Touch-ID to quickly unlock your machine and provide a new form of security if you don't want others accessing your machine without your permission. It is capable of top of the line WiFi wireless internet connection and includes Bluetooth 4.2, which allows you to connect your favorite wireless devices such as printers, mice, keyboards, speakers, and other Bluetooth-capable accessories. This machine has four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports for wired peripherals and for connecting external monitors or TVs. It also has a 3.5mm Headphone Jack for connection to speakers and other audio equipment, but the system itself also has an on-board microphone and speakers. The "Force Touch" trackpad lets you Force click by pressing on the trackpad and then applying more pressure. This allows you to take advantage of added functionality in many apps and system features on your Mac.
