[PConline stand-alone evaluation] may be a few years ago Apple brought too much surprise for the entire technology circle, people are looking forward to every hardware update. The arrival of the new "MacBook Pro" seems to make us once again see Apple's trend-setting spirit in the "Jobs" era. Apple's 15-inch new MacBook Pro (MLH32CH/A) Reference Price: Read... Image Reviews Quote Parameter Overview The NBA superstar Kobe once described himself: How many people love me and how many people hate me. This sentence is used on the new "MacBook Pro" and it is very appropriate. Less than a month after the end of the 2016 Apple New Product Conference, people in the circle had mixed reviews about it. This also made many friends who wanted to start “being guilty.†A few days ago we got the new "15-inch MacBook Pro", where the manager came to chat with you about this "15-inch MacBook Pro" that you may already have, but have not yet acted. Touch Bar: The new way of human-computer interaction is not "chicken ribs" The first thing to say is that this generation of MacBook Pro is the most iconic and most concerned about the "Touch Bar." At the new product launch last month, Apple spent a lot of time expounding how powerful and incredible this new "try" was. But before I started to use the new "15-inch MacBook Pro," I have always had reservations about the official speech. Let's talk about the use of a few days, my opinion on "Touch Bar". The "Touch Bar" of the new "15-inch MacBook Pro" replaces the previous physical physical buttons. It is located at the top of the keyboard area, and the black "long strips" are not particularly conspicuous in the off state. It is actually a 2017x60 pixel OLED touch screen, and "fingerprint recognition" is integrated on the rightmost power button. To put it more, the power button is still physically pressed. The correct use of "Touch Bar" → → By default, the “esc button†is on the left side of the “Touch Bar†display, and up to four buttons are provided on the right, which are the screen brightness, sound adjustment buttons, and Siri's quick start buttons that we often use. Of course, you can also call up the complete button display (above) according to your own needs. Will you feel very warm at this time? The display of the "Touch Bar" does not actually extend to the far left, but it can be seen that the position opposite to the power key is still "reserved". The explanation given by Apple is to maintain symmetry. However, when you operate the “esc keyâ€, pressing this area will also receive a response. It will also become the largest button on the “Touch Bar†with “territory areaâ€. Compared to traditional physical buttons, the "Touch Bar" is humanized in that it supports "custom" settings. You can "drag" different function options to "Touch Bar" according to your actual needs. For example, I don't normally use Siri, so I can replace it with the notification center. This is still awesome, maximizing the usage of this part. PS: Can I tell you that my own notebook "F5-F12" is basically in the cold state? Custom Touch Bar Compared to the "Touch Bar" we mentioned above, I believe we are more concerned with: What exactly is its actual experience? What can I do with it? â— Use the Safari browser "Touch Bar" to do these Open Safari, you can use the "Touch Bar" to call out the saved bookmarks. You can select the page you want to open by sliding. In addition, "Touch Bar" also supports the quick switching of webpages in a sliding manner when multiple web pages are opened at the same time. This is quite convenient during actual use. â—"Touch Bar" is more convenient for photo editing/video playback When using iPhoto to view photos, you can use the "Touch Bar" to switch between slides. In addition, it is more convenient that we can edit photos directly on the "Touch Bar". Including the rotation angle, plus filters and other operations can be done through it. In addition, you can quickly advance/rewind by dragging the "Touch Bar". In the absence of a mouse, this kind of operation obviously has a lot to do.

This new "MacBook Pro" also rubbed it into the "Touch Bar". When you add expressions, you can quickly select them with the "Touch Bar", which is much easier than before. â— Look at the "Touch Bar" screenshot in the application scenario Touch Bar initial interface Expand to show more shortcuts Hold Fn key to call F1-F12 Touch Bar can display text input synchronously Emoji support for quick selection at Touch Bar Fast forward/rewind video playback with Touch Bar When viewing pictures via iPhotochakan, you can slide through the Touch Bar Picture editing (1) Picture editing (2) Safari browser collection webpages are displayed synchronously in the form of charts â— What software will Future Touch Bar support? For now, the "Touch Bar" adapters and relatively optimized software are still from Apple. However, there is news that before the end of the year it will usher in a large number of key application adaptations, including: 1Password, Day One, OminiGraffle, Pixelmator, Affinity Designer, QQ, Live Desktop and so on. â– Summary of "Touch Bar" section After a period of actual trials, the "Touch Bar" actually has to be viewed separately. It should be acknowledged that its overall operational logic is indeed very much liked. I remember that before the Apple chief designer Ivey said that Apple Computer will not touch the screen, because it will affect the screen display. The emergence of "Touch Bar" is a good solution to the contradiction between screen display and touch. With it, you can interact well with the software on the screen. However, as a "newborn baby," "Touch Bar" is not perfect. The first thing to understand is that the touch logic advocated by “Touch Bar†is not exactly the same as the current touch that we are familiar with. It is more like the combination of “touch + keyboard and mouseâ€. Just get started directly with the keyboard / mouse directly to complete the task, and ignore your hand on this MacBook Pro is to have "Touch Bar". However, if you use it, its arrival will make your experience more convenient and faster. However, it cannot be ignored that from being unfamiliar to not being small, a process of constantly “forced†oneself is needed. In addition, the current application of the "Touch Bar" is not too many, but this is only a matter of time, do not have to worry about. The new keyboard design is very big touch big bright touch screen â— Brand new keyboard with "Chinese colors" As a traditional notebook without a touch screen, text input is mainly dependent on the keyboard. But you will find that as the notebook becomes thinner and thinner, the keyboard control experience of many products is not satisfactory. In the previously listed 12-inch MacBook, to solve this problem, Apple introduced the "butterfly structure" design. From the perspective of subsequent user reviews, its use experience is fairly good. Before this generation of "MacBook Pro" was released, it was known that there were friends who asked if new products would use the "butterfly keyboard". My answer here is yes. The traditional keyboard uses a "scissor-type structure", and the edges of the keys are easily shaken and unstable. It is often the case that any position other than the center of the key is not accurately entered. The "butterfly structure" is wider than the scissors structure, and uses a monolithic structure made of a harder material. The keys are not only more stable and sensitive, but also occupy less vertical space. You can accurately input wherever you press the key. Picture from IFIXIT Compared to the 12-inch MacBook, the "MacBook Pro" second-generation "butterfly keyboard" feels more comfortable and responsive, and the key performance is inferior to the previous generation of 15-inch MacBook. Pro. On the whole, you will feel that its keys are very stable, and the crisp “squeaks†sounds when you hit them are cool, but they are not suitable for long text entry. In addition to making changes in the control experience, the new "MacBook Pro" introduced the "Chinese Keyboard". The original (previous 15-inch MacBook Pro) "caps lock" key was replaced by the "Chinese/English" input method shortcut switch key, and is very friendly to users who often perform text entry. Another important update is that it eliminates LED backlight strips and light guides that scatter light throughout the keyboard compared to previous generations. Instead, a separate LED is placed under each key to eliminate Leakage problem. In addition, the keyboard of the new generation of "MacBook Pro" has also been improved in terms of "punctuation" compared to the previous generation. For example, the "" symbol you often see in various articles in recent years has also been added. This symbol can't be seen in various previous notebook devices. Many times you want to play it out, you can only use the keypad. The improvement of Apple in this subtlety precisely reflects its delicateness and intentions, and it is also what many PC makers lack. â— Take the "abandon mouse" to further increase the size of the touchpad Replacing the mouse with the touchpad is an idea that Apple has been trying to explain. If Apple had been cautious about the improved performance of the "touchpad" for a long time before, or hadn't paid too much attention to it, then this time it was bright enough for the whole new generation of "MacBook Pro." . The larger control area is an important upgrade for the Force Touch Touchpad, a new 15-inch MacBook Pro, which has increased 100% compared to the 2015 touchpad area. From an intuitive comparison, the gap between the two is quite obvious. If you are unfamiliar with the trackpad of the previous generation of 15-inch MacBook Pro, but it is very "wonderful" to start the new "iPhone 7 Plus", the comparison of the following figure can let you see at a glance the new 15-inch MacBook Pro touchpad the size of. PS: The official iPhone 7 Plus body measurements are 158.2x77.9x7.3mm. OK, say my experience. The overall controllability of this "ultra-large" touchpad is as simple and intuitive as possible. Due to the increase in area, you can get a large enough control area, and at the same time, the multi-fingered operation is even more effective. However, as previously envisioned, when you use the keyboard, you will inadvertently make a mistake. How does the upgraded 15-inch MacBook Pro perform? When Apple described the performance of the new "MacBook Pro", it highlighted its powerful graphics processor and high-performance CPU. To know that in the previous 2015 MacBook Pro body, its highest configuration is only the fourth generation Core Duo, it has become everyone's Tucao point. Do not talk nonsense about the performance of the upgraded 15-inch MacBook Pro. Picture from IFIXIT â— Two-version 15-inch MacBook Pro hardware configuration at a glance Product configuration 2016 MacBook Pro low version 2016 MacBook Pro High Edition processor Intel Core i7-6700HQ 2.6GHz Intel Core i7-6820HQ 2.7GHz RAM 16GB LPDDR3 2133MHz 16GB LPDDR3 2133MHz Video card Intel HD Graphics 530/Radeon Pro 450 Intel HD Graphics 530/Radeon Pro 455 Display screen 15.4 inch IPS screen 2880×1800 15.4 inch IPS screen 2880×1800 hard disk 256GB PCIe SSD 512GB PCIe SSD battery 76Wh 76Wh Body color Silver/Dark grey Silver/Dark grey External expansion Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) × 4 Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) × 4 Multi-Touch Bar stand by stand by â— Running data and hardware analysis In the processor section, the new 15-inch MacBook Pro now offers three options, including the Intel Core i7-6700HQ, i7-6820HQ, and i7-6920HQ. It should be noted that the official default configuration is the two versions listed in the top chart, while the top-level i7-6920HQ is an optional item (PS: The evaluation machine we got was the i7-6700HQ version). In order to more intuitively see how well it carries the i7-6700HQ's performance, we chose "Geekbench 4" for testing. From the test results given by "Geekbench 4," it scored 4126 points for single-core and 12,642 points for multi-core. If you don't have a concept for such score performance, it doesn't matter, I have sorted out the Geekbench 4 running subdatasheets for different hardware configurations/versions of the Apple MacBook. From the point of running data. This generation of low-profile (i7-6700HQ) is not dominant in terms of performance, high-profile version of the performance is better, but the actual upgrade is not as large as imagined. model Single core Multicore 2016 15 inch MacBook Pro/i7-6700HQ 4126 12642 2016 15 inch MacBook Pro/I7-6820HQ 4110 13350 2015 15 inch MacBook Pro/i7-4980HQ 4290 13937 2015 15 inch MacBook Pro/i7-4870HQ 4039 13086 Compared to the previous generation, the new "15-inch MacBook Pro" graphics card has made a lot of changes. The first is the 15-inch full-line standard single display, while the 2015 version of the low version does not appear alone; in terms of specifications, the 2015 MacBook Pro high version is equipped with the AMD Radeon R9 M370X, and this generation provides Radeon Pro 450/455/460 three options. Let's look at the test results of the 2016 MacBook Pro graphics cards. â— Radeon Pro 450 test â— Intel HD Graphics 530 test Still like the previous part of the test processor, I have compiled the following summary of the running results of the graphics section. model Single core Multicore 2016 15 inch MacBook Pro/Radeon Pro 450 41962 2016 15 inch MacBook Pro/Radeon Pro 455 48411 2016 15 inch MacBook Pro/Radeon Pro 460 57473 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro/Intel Graphics 530 19044 Since we are alone, here we look at whether the new "15-inch MacBook Pro" can cope with the large stand-alone game "Tomb Raier". Tomb Raider is commonly known as "Tomb Raider 9" in China. The game was developed by Crystal Dynamics and released by Square Enix. The new work focuses on Laura's youthful period, abandoning the previous setting of the Superwoman, and the player can see a more realistic image of Laura in the game. Due to the upgrading of the engine, this work will have a better picture than the previous work. It is the most transformative work in the Tomb Raider series. In the game setup section, we adjusted the screen resolution to 2048×1280, turned off the vertical sync and adjusted the quality effect to high, and the effects were all on. As "Tomb Raider" comes with Benchmark, the test results are more objective. From the results given below, the new "15-inch MacBook Pro" ran out 33.4 frames of data under high-quality conditions. Here may be a friend said: Hey? Why did the test scores I saw in other people's test articles be higher? Is this the following? In fact, you want to run out of this number of frames is very simple, you only need to set the image quality to normal. From the perspective of actual use, the results under ordinary picture quality are more useful for reference. After all, it is not positioned in the game itself. If you want to experience the game smoothly, you can only reduce the picture quality. Of course, the display quality of ordinary picture quality is also good and acceptable. â— The legendary SSD solid state drive standing at the spire Every generation of Apple's Mac product updates, SSD solid-state hard drive will not "fall", it is also the first full line of products using SSD manufacturers. Before the launch of the new product, it was reported that the new "MacBook Pro" will be the fastest in the world. From the results given by the Disk Speed ​​Test test software, its performance is indeed very good. In fact, each generation of MacBook's hard disk options are unambiguous, can not be said to be the best at present, but it will certainly be in the performance of the top ranks of products. In addition, after replacing the SATA channel with a PCIe channel, the SSD performance is released to the maximum extent by directly connecting the CPU and increasing the bandwidth. This is also an important reason why the performance of the new “15-inch MacBook Pro†hard disk is so strong. How to reduce the battery capacity of follow-up performance â— Is it able to hold off heat after being alone? The strength of “heat dissipation performance†is a point that we must pay close attention to. It not only affects the actual user experience, but also directly affects performance. And because this 15-inch MacBook Pro is equipped with a Core i7+ Radeon Pro 450 discrete graphics card, heat dissipation has become more of a concern. It is equipped with four cooling windows. Two of them are located below the shaft, while the other two are located on the left and right sides of the fuselage. If you are concerned about thin and light, you should not be unfamiliar with the location of the first two heatsinks, but the difference of the "MacBook Pro" is that its integrated shaft is placed above the heatsink, which is a good way to avoid the outlet of many similar products. Direct blow to the screen. Considering that it was alone, in the actual heat dissipation performance test section, I chose to play “Tomb Raider†continuously for half an hour to examine its cooling performance. As you can see, the starting time is 8:43. Half an hour later, the time came at 9:12. Let's take a look at whether the 15-inch “MacBook Pro†can be satisfactorily cooled in the “playing games†environment. In order to let everyone see the heat dissipation of the 15-inch “MacBook Pro†more intuitively, we used the FLUKE infrared thermal imager to observe the temperature rise of each location. (Temperature spans 28°C-50°C: Below the lower temperature limit, black will be displayed; exceeding the upper temperature limit will display white). From the temperature distribution map we have drawn, the high-temperature area on the front of the fuselage is located at the top of the center, the maximum temperature is 39.6°C, and the temperature control in the lower part is much lower; the high temperature area on the back is concentrated in the upper half area. The highest temperature occurs near the heat sink, which is 35.7°C. Because this game needs to use the four keys of WASD to control the direction, during the actual use, it can obviously feel the temperature rise, but it is also acceptable. â— Can you extend your Mac’s proud battery life performance? First of all, let's look at the battery capacity comparison chart we have organized → → Battery capacity comparison 2016 15 inch MacBook Pro 76Wh 2015 15 inch MacBook Pro 99.5Wh 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro (with Touch Bar) 49.2Wh 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro (without Touch Bar) 59.5Wh Compared to the 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro, this generation has reduced its battery capacity by 23.5Wh to 76Wh. Does its actual endurance performance continue the outstanding performance of the previous Mac? In the endurance test, I chose to play a half-hour video, which is closer to the actual use environment. The setting conditions are: the screen brightness is adjusted to the highest, the wireless network is connected, and 5 web pages are opened at the same time. You can see that the initial charge is 100%, and the remaining time given by the system is 9 hours and 16 minutes. After 30 minutes of continuous video playback, you can see that the battery power dropped from 100% to 96%, a drop of 4 percentage points. The remaining time given by the system is 6 hours and 52 minutes. Judging from the actual test results, the battery life of the new 15-inch MacBook Pro is still satisfactory, and there is no need to worry about this. â— Frequently "flying around" the portability that users are most concerned about The body size of the 2016 2016 15-inch MacBook Pro is “34.93×24.07×1.55 cmâ€, which is a much smaller size than the “35.89×24.71×1.8 cm†of the 2015 model. From the actual comparison point of view, the basic shrink a circle. The thickness varies from the previous 1.8cm to 1.55cm with a difference of 0.25cm. If you put the old and new versions of the machine on the same level and look straight into the past, you will have a feeling that the former will be much thinner. This is also because the back of the body of this generation of "MacBook Pro" is smaller and closer to the level. Increased visual experience. Let's look at the actual weight performance of the new and old 15-inch MacBook Pro. Total weight: The former is 1813g, the latter 1997g, reduced 184g; travel weight (including power adapter): the former 2167g, the latter 2311g, reduce 144g. Just said that the weight of the next 330ml of Coca-Cola is 362g, which means that you will carry a 2016 15 inch MacBook Pro with less weight than the 2015 “Othersâ€. Controversy about the 15-inch MacBook Pro The apparent difference in the appearance of this generation of "15-inch MacBook Pro" is the removal of the Apple logo that was previously lit in the center of the top lid, and instead uses the same solid mirror LOGO as the 12-inch MacBook. Apple's official statement is: In order to maintain the consistency of the various products. Regarding this point, many people have been inexplicably "sad" and even played the banner of "sentiment" no longer. Personally, Apple's making such a change does not have much meaning for controversy. The new LOGO affects the overall appearance? Impact performance? Affect the use of the experience? not at all. As for the argument that "forcing down" is reduced, I would like to really prepare the buyer to start it. It should not require the LOGO to be able to reflect its own value. Oh yeah, there was a friend who had an old Apple MacBook Pro LOGO that was broken unexpectedly. It was awkward... The new "15-inch MacBook Pro" is equipped with a 15.4-inch Retina display with a resolution of 2880x1800. It uses a brighter LED backlight assembly than ever before and enhances contrast, so the black color that appears is deeper and white is brighter. The larger pixel aperture and variable refresh rate make it more energy efficient than previous generation models. What's more, the new MacBook Pro is the first Mac notebook with a wide color gamut, which can make the green and red display more vivid, vivid and vivid. This is crucial for graphic design, color correction, and image editing. It also supports a built-in display (which can display millions of colors) at the initial resolution and two displays with a resolution of 5120 x 2880 pixels (60 Hz) (supporting over one billion colors), or four resolutions of 4096 x 2304 pixel (60Hz) display (supports over a billion colors). In addition, the border width, the new product compared to the previous generation of the 15-inch MacBook Pro is also more narrow, which also makes the overall screen display under the bright screen state looks better. Of course, another advantage of the narrower border is that its overall body size can be made smaller. In addition to the significant changes in the "manipulation" section mentioned above, the "grid" on both sides of the keyboard has also undergone certain adjustments. Compared to the 2015 MacBook Pro, it has become wider and the overall visual effects will make the C-face feel more full. It is worth mentioning that it is not under the speakers. As to why it appears here, in addition to the decorative effect, it also played a role in cooling and volume diffusion. The new "15-inch MacBook Pro" is equipped with two speakers, which are located directly under the "grating" on the left and right. Since I'm not sensitive to sound, I can only say that stereo construction is doing quite well. Picture from IFIXIT Let's talk about the controversial part of the interface. The new 15-inch MacBook Pro radically cut off all the interfaces of the previous generation MacBook Pro except for the headphone jack, and switched to a combination of four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) +1 headphone jacks. The advantage of the Thunderbolt 3 interface is that it can transmit data at speeds up to 40 Gbps, twice as fast as Thunderbolt 2, and eight times that of USB 3. The arrival of Thunderbolt 3 provides greater operating space for a thinner body. . The reason why Apple will choose such an interface solution is that the first point is that Thunderbolt 3's efficient data transmission will undoubtedly represent the trend of the entire PC industry in the future. However, this is risky. For example, if you don’t have Tune, you can If connected, data transmission is extremely inconvenient. However, Apple chose to assume this risk to become the leader of the next interface change. If such interface standards become mainstream, it is clearly at a commanding height once again. The problem is that such interface types are not widely used at present, and many external device interfaces still use old standards and cannot directly connect them to notebook devices. OK, Apple has given a solution: switch cords, but "don't mention money, hurt money," which means that you need extra money to buy. Below we have come to the inventory, you want to get a complete data transmission experience, how many transfer lines do you need → → Device output What accessories are required to connect to the MacBook Pro Thunderbolt 2 Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Converter USB-C No converter required USB-A Apple USB-C to USB Converter Lightning Apple USB-C to Lightning cable Micro-B USB-C to Micro-B cable Mini-B USB-C to Mini-B cable Ethernet USB-C to Ethernet Converter HDMI Apple USB-C Digital AV Converter or USB-C to HDMI Converter VGA Apple USB-C VGA Multi-Port Converter or USB-C to VGA Converter DisplayPort DisplayPort USB-C to DisplayPort cable or converter How to Buy a New 15-inch MacBook Pro If you are interested in starting a new "15-inch MacBook Pro", how do you choose? â— first look at the basic high / low version The difference between the high/low version hardware configuration is that the processor, the discrete graphics card, and the hard disk capacity have to be lower overall; however, the price differs by 3,000 yuan. Product configuration 2016 MacBook Pro low version 2016 MacBook Pro High Edition processor Intel Core i7-6700HQ 2.6GHz Intel Core i7-6820HQ 2.7GHz RAM 16GB LPDDR3 2133MHz 16GB LPDDR3 2133MHz Video card Intel HD Graphics 530/Radeon Pro 450 Intel HD Graphics 530/Radeon Pro 455 Display screen 15.4 inch IPS screen 2880×1800 15.4 inch IPS screen 2880×1800 hard disk 256GB PCIe SSD 512GB PCIe SSD battery 76Wh 76Wh Body color Silver/Dark grey Silver/Dark grey External expansion Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) × 4 Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) × 4 Multi-Touch Bar stand by stand by price 18488 yuan 21488 yuan First of all, from the perspective of performance, there is a gap between the two, but it is not as large as it seems. In addition, the performance of the low-level version alone is good enough. If you don't have too strict requirements for performance, then the low-level version is sufficient. Next is the problem of hard disk storage capacity, 512GB size is certainly more arbitrary to use, and 256GB is used for normal office use, no problem, but to store a large number of files would seem stretched. Picture from IFIXIT â— How much money do you need to spend after upgrading the configuration? The new 15-inch "15-inch MacBook Pro" also offers customized configurations. You can decide which one is for you to upgrade based on your actual needs. Of course, the extra configuration requires a corresponding fee. Look at the table below → → Configuration Low-grade upgradeable items/additional expenses High Edition Upgradeable/Additional Expenses processor Intel Core i7 2.9GHz up to 3.8GHz quad-core +2240 yuan = 20,728 yuan Intel Core i7 2.9GHz up to 3.8GHz quad-core +1520 yuan = 23,088 yuan Video card Radeon Pro 460 with 4GB of graphics memory +1520 yuan = 20008 yuan Radeon Pro 460 with 4GB of graphics memory +760 yuan = 22,248 hard disk 512GB PCIe SSD +1520 yuan = 20008 yuan - 1TB PCIe SSD +4560 yuan = 23048 yuan 1TB PCIe SSD +3040 yuan = 24,528 yuan 2TB PCIe SSD +10640 yuan = 29,128 yuan 2TB PCIe SSD +9120 yuan = 30608 Processor, video card and hard disk capacity are three important options, Apple provides ample choice of space. If it is from the perspective of most users, I would recommend choosing a lower version and choose to upgrade 512GB SSD. The reason is simple, its performance is sufficient, but the basic version of the hard disk capacity is relatively small, and the price is also higher than the basic allocation of 2240 yuan with a relatively high, relatively speaking, more cost-effective. â– Say that the interface is the "most expensive" place. I have provided you with two options. â— Option One: Exclusive Edition of "Tuba" Local exclusive programs USB-C to USB Converter 68 yuan Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Converter 228 yuan USB-C to Lightning Converter 138 yuan USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Converter 188 yuan USB-C to VGA Converter 218 yuan USB-C Digital AV Converter (USB-C/HDMI/USB) 388 yuan USB-C VGA Multi-Port Converter (USB-C/VGA/USB) 388 yuan total 1616 yuan The basic ones listed above include all the adapters you need to use the new 15-inch MacBook Pro. However, if you want to complete the whole adapter, the price is quite awesome. You need to pay 1616 extra. yuan. Of course, the full set of adapters will undoubtedly be more convenient in practical use, but it is also true that the "local tyrants" are not inferior to money. â— Option 2: The most economical version Let’s look at the most economical and practical solution for purchasing genuine adapters so far → → The most economical solution USB-C Digital AV Converter (USB-C/HDMI/USB) 388 yuan total 388 yuan Compared to the above solutions, this set is the most economical and applicable version. After all, you can save 1288 yuan. What's the concept? A low-end flagship smartphone is almost the same price. But you may have noticed that this converter cannot implement Ethernet and VGA. In fact, in the era of ubiquitous WIFI, the former is really worthwhile, and then a VGA interface is also very easy to solve, 5 dollars to buy a HDMI to VGA adapter to get it. Written in the last words The article is almost here, come to talk about my personal point of view. If this generation of "MacBook" did not join the Touch Bar nor radically replace all interfaces with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), then it may not be as controversial as it is now. At least I do not believe that Apple did not take into account the risks posed by these changes, but it chose to bear. The actual feedback is that it has attracted a lot of attention from the time before the new conference to the present, and it also gives people who want to update their notebooks a reason to save money: The new "MacBook" Touch Bar is another notebook. None of them. As for the actual use of the Touch Bar? It can only be said that it is a great match with the current adaptation of the application, but slightly less adaptation software. Before I read some articles, I didn't agree that the version of "MacBook" without Bar was more cost-effective. Since Apple put the Touch Bar on the "MacBook," the future Touch Bar will certainly be the focus of Apple's attention. You don't have to worry about investing in Bar's version "losing". On the contrary, if you start without the Bar version, if you want to experience this function again in the future, I'm sorry, please pay for another. The interface is a bit inconvenient to use, but Thunderbolt 3 is the future development trend, there is no need to Tucao, sooner or later to face. Just because you choose to be a "MacBook" user, you need to adapt earlier.
