![]() Portability: This is really important to me (thus my partiality for the 12-inch MacBook). Those power-efficient GPUs were chosen by Apple because they can be squeezed into the MBP 15's 15.5 mm-thin chassis. That applies to the adoption of AMD's Polaris GPUs too (the Radeon 450, 455 and 460). That said, if you're a super speed junkie, the MBP 15 is not the fastest quad-core laptop on the planet because of Apple's bias toward thinness, as this review at MobileTechReview points out. So, all that performance in the MBP 15 makes a difference and improves my workflow. That's not the case for mainstream laptops with a dual-core i5, 8GB RAM, and a so-so SSD. If I have 20 open Chrome tabs, a photo editor, Microsoft Office 365, and a CMS app running (among other things), nothing slows down. In short, there's little that can slow down a quad-core i7, 16GB of memory, and a fast SSD. ![]() Performance: I wish smaller laptops came with quad-core processors (thermals and price usually make this prohibitive). ![]()
