With a lot of criticisms and negative comments in the release of the 2016 MacBook Pro, Apple just proved that they are still the most loved brand when it comes to mobile and technology.
According to the report of Slice, Apple's newest MacBook Pro is the most saleable laptop, five days after its release online. As compared to their 12-inch MacBook, its revenue is seven times higher than the latter's launch last April.
With the introduction of the latest MacBook Pro, few of the MacBook fans who switched to another laptop brand may have returned, thus, the increase of its sales. The majority of those came from Dell and Asus laptop users.
Aside from the brand, loyal MacBook enthusiasts' continued patronage is brought by its state-of-the-art features and specs like the addition of a touch bar, new graphic chips, enhanced design, louder speakers, etc.
Apple declined Intel's integrated Iris Pro graphics and switched to AMD graphics across its new MacBook Pro. In the article of MacRumors, this decision resulted in performance improvements as it delivers expanded external Ultrafine 5k display at 60Hz which many MacBook supporters are waiting for.
As explained by Andrew Cunningham of Ars Technica, the latest MacBook Pro is much faster compared to the 2016 12-inch MacBook and its previous models due to the inclusion of the Radeon Pro 455 graphics chip. However, he also said that this is still not suitable for VR and high-end gaming. MacBook Pro's price starts at $1,299.
