Apple MacBook Pro Touch Bar Details
The mid 2017 Apple 15.4" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is faster and more powerful, yet thin at 1.55 cm and lightweight at just 1.83 kilos. This system is powered by a 7th Gen Kaby Lake 2.80 GHz Intel Core i7 Quad Core processor that features a burst speed of up to 3.80GHz, while 16GB of 2133 MHz LPDDR3 RAM helps to ensure smooth multitasking and also allows the computer to quickly access frequently-used files and programs.
Retina Display
The 15.4" IPS Retina display features a backlit LED 2880 x 1800 screen resolution with a 220 ppi pixel density. It has LED backlighting with a maximum brightness of 500 nits, and it includes support for the P3 wide colour gamut. This helps ensure truer-to-life pictures with realistically vivid details, essential for graphic design, color grading, and editing.
Touch Bar
The Touch Bar on the 15.4-inch MacBook Pro is integrated into many macOS apps to give you handy shortcuts for the tasks you do most, based on your current app and activity. Use familiar gestures like tap and swipe in the Touch Bar while you work.
Graphics
Integrated Intel Iris Graphics 630 and Radeon Pro 555 2GB GDDR5 discrete graphics with auto switching delivers a sharp, clear picture, and you'll also be able to output video to an external display using the system's four Thunderbolt 3 ports, which feature native DisplayPort output.
One Thunderbolt 3 port can support one multi-panel 5K display at resolutions up to 5120 x 2880 at 60 Hz, or dual 4K displays at resolutions up to 4096 x 2304 at 60 Hz, each of which are able to support over a billion colours.
Storage
For long-term storage of your files, this MacBook Pro is equipped with a 256GB SSD, with sequential read speeds up to 3.1 GB/s and sequential write speeds up to 2.1 GB/s.
If you want to add external peripherals, dual Thunderbolt 3 ports support bi-directional transfer speeds of up to 40 Gb/s, while also supporting 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 and device charging.
Wireless
802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi is built-in for wireless networking, and Bluetooth 4.2 technology will also allow you to connect additional compatible peripherals.
Battery
Up to 10 hours of battery life is available for tasks such as iTunes movie playback and web surfing. (Battery performance from new, actual performance may be less)
Thunderbolt 3
Thunderbolt 3 is a hardware interface that utilizes the reversible USB Type-C connector. Doubling the speed of its predecessor, Thunderbolt 3 features a maximum throughput of 40 Gb/s when used with compatible devices. The connector also transmits data via USB 3.1 at up to 10 Gb/s, and dual-bandwidth DisplayPort 1.2 allows you to connect up to two 4K displays simultaneously or one multi-panel 5K display. The MacBook Pro has two ports, sharing one dedicated bus.
