MacBook Pro 2018 - laptop with the fastest SSD

MacBook Pro 2018 can be purchased with a memory up to 4TB, which is twice as much as in last year's lineup. In addition to the built-in memory, Apple also improved SSD performance for this year's lineup.

As shown by the tests of Laptop Mag, the SSD 13-inch MacBook Pro records at an average speed of 2.682MB / s. It took only 2 seconds to copy a file to 4.9GB from the MacBook Pro, which is many times faster than other notebooks of the same price category. For comparison, SSD in Dell XPS 13 with a Core i7 processor writes at a speed of only 400Mb / s - it's 6.5 times slower than the MacBook Pro.

Apple used the new fast SSD based on PCI and iMac Pro. The file system of the company is also optimized for flash cards, which is another advantage over competitors. Such fast SSDs will help the MacBook Pro to cope quickly with the most difficult tasks.

Laptop Mag also conducted other speed tests with a 13-inch MacBook Pro. To decode the Handbrake video in the 4K, the MacBook Pro took 16 minutes and 57 seconds, which is about 4 minutes less than that of other premium laptops, and 2.5 minutes less than the previous year's model. In the Excel test VLOOKUP Macro MacBook Pro coped for 1 minute 16 seconds. This is slower than the Dell XPS 13 and ZenBook 13, but twice as fast as the MacBook Pro 2017 (2 minutes 24 seconds).

The new MacBook Pro is only behind schedule. When you play DiRT 3, the laptop gave an average of 38.8 frames per second, and almost all other laptops can reach a minimum of 2 times.

Despite this, the new 13-inch MacBook Pro is exactly one of the leaders in its price category. This is especially noticeable if we compare the models 2017 and 2018 . The new line was improved in all categories by 2 or 3 times.
