Why is the Turbo Boost for each processor the same even though the 2015 model has a higher base rate? Following the previous question, with regards to coding would it be much slower to compile large chunks of code, and if I were to play games would I see a significant difference in speed? Is the 2.0 GHz processor on the 2016 model significantly slower than the 2.7GHz on the 2015 model? So, bearing in mind what I want to do with the laptop, these are my questions regarding the specs: The specs of each of the Macbook Pros are:

Play some games, such as League of Legends, H1Z1, CSGO and so onĪll in all, I want to make this my primary laptop, I will still keep my old one, however, this gives an idea of the tasks I want the computer to be able to handle. I want to use it to code in various different language and IDE's such as Visual Studio I have developed an interest in app development and want to use the apple platform to go forward with this (I have an IPhone 5 and currently I don't have a USB-C adapter, so I would need to buy one to be able to place the app on my phone) Now, moving on to the MCP topic, I mentioned my current PC so that I have something to make a comparison with. One of the notable things is the graphics card and processor are integrated, I don't know whether this is the same for the MCP's or not. Processor - AMD A10-5745M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics, 2.1 GHz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) So, first things first I want to buy a new laptop as I have a 3/4-year-old Hp that just isn't doing the job I require it to do anymore. Furthermore, every website I have been on has not really answered my questions, so I hope I can gain some knowledge to be able to make the right choice for me.Ĭurrently, I am studying Computer Science at A-Level and by the end of this academic year, I hope to move into an apprenticeship with a company in the industry.ĭisclaimer: (Macbook Pro is abbreviated as MCP in this post to save repetition and time) I am in the process of trying to decide whether to buy the new Macbook Pro 2016 (No Touchbar) or the old MacBook Pro 2015, however, I feel I don't have the full grasp of the hardware side of things to make an informed choice.
