In the early morning of Beijing time, a year after the update of the 2015 Macbook Pro product line, Apple held a new conference at the headquarters campus and launched a new generation of Macbook Pro series, which also updated the Macbook Air product line. For the new Macbook Pro series, once again their function and configuration update will become the highlight of recent technology topics, while the MacbookAir product line will face a more serious situation. Because these new features and configuration and the entire Macbook product line update, for the majority of interested in the purchase of the MacbookPro series of valued friends, is bound to be a time to buy or buy in the struggle to struggle with the rhythm. The question is, are they worth buying? For children's shoes that already have a previous generation of Macs and children shoes that are not intended to be purchased on a Mac, how do you choose? Based on the above situation, the author will compare the MacBook series with the old and new , in order to provide us with a reference for the Macbook series of products to buy ideas. (Note: The "old versions" mentioned in this article refer to the 2015 Macbook Pro)

First, update of Macbook seriesThis update of the Macbook series covers hardware updates for the Air line and Pro series. Now let's take a look at the details of their updates:
1, MacBookAir series
This update of the product line made the Macbook Air 11-inch model a thing of the past, leaving only the 13-inch models to stay on top of the burden of the low-end Mac product line. Apple's update to the Macbook Air product line can be described as low-key, after all, the focus is on the New MacBook Pro model.
New Air Board
Air Board before the conference
There is no update to the hardware of the MacBook Air model. It canceled the 11-inch model, priced from 6988. It can be said that the current MacbookAir product line is very embarrassing, less than the upper and lower than the virtual . When it comes to "comparison," it has two enemies at the moment: one is the 2015 retina Macbook Pro in the updated Macbook Pro product line, which is the previous Macbook Pro - its price is comparable to the most expensive 8,488 yuan Macbook Air. Than, the difference is 800 yuan. This is still the official pricing, and the prices of other e-commerce vendors will fall further according to the old and new update laws of digital products. Since then, the price gap is not large, and the performance of MacbookAir is far too low. Air does not have a Retina screen, which is suitable for a light business office and cannot be used for high performance demand scenarios. Another enemy is its own New Macbook. After the product line is updated, the price gap between New Macbook and Air is smaller (also A few hundred dollars, but they are almost identical in their positioning. Therefore, consumers will be more inclined to NewMacbook and old MacbookPro in an objective manner. Air thus becomes a sandwich in the entire Apple laptop product line. When it comes to “comparisonâ€, most laptops with different brands at the same price currently support high-definition screens with high-performance performance. At this time, if you want to buy a computer within 6000-8000, Air will be the consumer. The choice will be in a more embarrassing situation.

2, MacBookPro series
The core highlight of this conference is on MacBook Pro. It has made several updates on the hardware. Although these hardware updates have long been familiar with various rumors before the release, the real release of the conference will still give people a sense of exhilaration and slight excitement. . Let's take a look at what it has updated.
A) New features and comparison with old models
The first is the Multi-Touch Bar , which is the focus of the Apple conference, which is the multi-touch area. It replaces the old Mac's push-button functional area and is replaced by a long strip of touch area, which also integrates a fingerprint sensor (TouchID Sensor), and this area supports more features, as shown below Different functions. The official statement is that it can make the user experience more convenient and simple. The precise control that could not be achieved before can be more precisely controlled.

Then the interface has changed , look at the picture. Can be seen in the new, Apple began to popularize the USB Type-C interface. There are advantages and disadvantages. Of course, at present, China's computer users' daily needs for the interface, Apple's approach is obviously too extreme. However, this kind of forward-looking approach still has its reason. Apple's thinking is based on a long-term perspective, so it will certainly be impacted by the mainstream consumption of the current society.
On the left is the old 13-inch, the right is the new 13-inch low with
The left is a new 13-inch low with the right is a new 13-inch high with
On the left is the old 15-inch, the right is the new 15-inch
What is more, it is getting thinner and lighter than before. I figured it out, specifically, the new 13-inch and 15-inch models were 210 grams lighter than before. What is the concept of 210 grams? That is equivalent to a normal soap. Therefore, the old Macbook Pro children's shoes can try to add a soap on your mac to carry what weight.
Then there is the keyboard and touchpad upgrade. For the keyboard, a second-generation butterfly-type keyboard was used, and the touchpad became larger on the new MacBook Pro. (My Safari browser crashed. Here, I immediately went to the Firefox and continued to write... Is it right? Aunt's website is not optimized for web page editors, typing in safari is good. It seems that Firefox is also good enough. As senior fruit is not easy)
Other enhancements include improvements in brightness and color gamut, speaker sound effects, and overall processor performance. This MacbookPro update is mainly reflected in these. Or po maps:
B) The lack of new features
Ok. Having said that these hardware and performance updates and enhancements, we have to look at their shortcomings . So what 's the downside of the new Macbook Pro?
First of all, I think that the arrangement of the interface should not be mainstream. This time I thought it was an extremely important update to the Macbook Pro series. This also marks Apple's formal entry into the next generation of information technology: the widespread adoption of USB Type-C, which will be the universal data transmission standard in the near future, and it will surely become popular. This is the most extreme thing that Apple has ever done, and it's also my own surprise: Turn almost any interface on your computer into Type-C. This hardware update will make new users have to buy a large number of conversion lines in order to adapt to the mainstream interface, so that it looks like the Macbook production line is lightweight, but it is practically not as lightweight, imagine that you bring a new MacBookPro to do the Report. , with a Type-C to VGA cable and VGA cable. Too much trouble. And for the HDMI interface needs to buy HDMI line, look at the SD card, ordinary USB storage, think about all headaches so Apple prospective layout products can, but do not need to be so absolute. . . . .
Second, it is the Multi-touch Bar . The original intention of Apple is to make users use computers more efficiently and simply, but is this not helping? The original multi-functional zone became a "ultra-multifunctional zone." Will it make it easier for users to get started? On the accuracy of the task processing that Apple said, when a presentation was made at this conference, a show lady had no intention of blurting out (I remember) a "slightly slippery" similar story, then, according to this understanding, this multi-point Can the touch function area fail to achieve sufficient precision? For example, when the hand sweats slip on the glass interface and misuse it? This is a problem that the multi-purpose area may face after it is improved. But it's true that it has become more cool. It has a strong sense of technology and it looks very comfortable.
The second is the adaptation of the keyboard . I first map the Po, comparing the official map with the old Macbook Pro:
13-inch Macbook keyboard
It can be seen that the new keyboard arrangement has also changed. It takes some time to adapt. When it comes to butterfly keyboards, I personally experience the first generation of butterfly keyboards for the new Macbook. Shortness of the key path is a disadvantage of suffering from rickets, and its feel is not good. However, when using it to type, the typing speed is much faster and accurate than the scissor type keyboard (backlit keyboard). Therefore, preference for a butterfly keyboard or a scissors keyboard is a matter of opinion. But those children who want to buy MacbookPro to play games are still early to dispel the idea of ​​buying new models.
Haha, laborious people read so much above, and finally to buy a piece of advice (feeling to write articles at night with a sense of feeling, that is, roommate snoring a bit annoying but I wear headphones å‘€~ ha ha ha)
Keke.
Do you still remember my title? It's not right to call "old intentions not new yet begin." Why do I say this? This is only one year after the 2015 product update. The technical progress during this period is minimal. What do I mean by the fact that I still use the 2015 Macbook Pro to give you the code? And look at the fundamental difference between the new and old models: the main thing is the increase in weight and performance, right? The Forcetouch technology on the old models is not out of date and adequate, but Macos is also perfectly run on the old models. The performance of the old models has not been fully explored until now. After all, only a year, how to use the user's freshness of the "old" product did not retreat, but this time it has launched a new, which launched after the ipad mini2 launched a tasteless ipad mini3 almost. The key is that new products are more restricted. This is also a common problem faced by Apple's new product lines. The pursuit of advanced excellence has forgotten the general demand.
Therefore, I said that this product launch was not entirely new, but it can be said that the conference was very “impossible†to begin. So, how do we deal with new products after the conference? How can different groups buy rationally and correctly for your Mac?
A) For those who already have 15 rMBP values
For you guys, first of all ask you to think about the following questions: Is the multi-purpose area just needed? In terms of interfaces, is the 15 rMBPs inferior to the new ones? In terms of performance, do you think the current machine is sufficient for you? Do you care about the speaker and the so-called display screen quality improvement (at the moment the human eye can not distinguish these so-called higher-tech display screen)? Do you like the feel of a butterfly keyboard? Do you think it necessary to pay for adding a fingerprint unlock function (especially for users who already have an Apple Watch)?
Then, after you think about it, you should find out that the new Mac gives you a better interactive experience and better computer performance, unless you specialize in the field (I believe most people are not professional areas such as image processing, music production, The higher needs of those who work in film and television editing, most of the time, you do not feel the new and old differences. The current Mac actually has excess performance for most users. Basically, it cannot fully utilize the maximum performance of the Mac. Those of TurboBoost are not experienced during daily work.
Of course, if you like the latest multi-purpose area, don't mind the limitations of the interface and then have enough budget, you can also start new, it can give you experience the latest Apple technology, which is also gratifying.
B) Valuers who want to upgrade Mac products 15 years ago and those who have never had Macbook Pro
Before preparing to start, please also ask a few questions: What's the difference between the new and the old ones more than your own? Do they (your options) increase your office productivity?
Friends who haven't experienced Pro's value for this updated product still need to consider from their own needs. After all, as Aunt Zhang stated, “value is importantâ€. Since this new product is the most significant change in the history of the Macbook Pro series, the interface and the keyboard can be said to be “new from head to toeâ€. So if you like them and don’t care much about the new limitations, starting the latest Mac is the happiest thing, because this is something you like. Actually, I also like its versatility. District, it looks very futuristic
The update of the Macbook Pro series and the change of the Macbook Air product line marked Apple's further advancement in computer technology, and also changed the previous product line. In general, Apple is slowly simplifying the previous complex product lines, and at the same time wants to improve the quality of product development and production. The 11-inch Air product line is an example. It makes the new Macbook a firm foothold and no longer conflicts with "brothers" products. This has also led to the gradual elimination of the phenomenon of mutual alignment of product positioning. This is a good trend. However, Apple must pay attention to the needs of the entire consumer audience while doing these things. For consumers, faced with changes in Apple's product line, they need to buy their own products based on their own needs, rationally treat new products, and then enjoy the convenience and more efficient and quality life and work experience that products bring to you.
Ah, the above is my entire view of the Macbook product line (line) update and purchase guidance, thank you very much for your attention, and then, I'm going to make it up to the last po of a Meimei MacbookPro side face
