MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018)

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018)

Compared with the MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), this model has 6-core Coffee Lake Core i7 and i9 processors and up to 32 GB of DDR4 memory. It added the Apple T2 chip, a True Tone display and a quieter third-generation butterfly keyboard. AMD Radeon Pro 555X or 560X graphics are standard, and Radeon Pro Vega 16 or 20 became options in late 2018. The case and ports did not change.
