Lisa Gade reviews the 2018 15” Apple MacBook Pro with Intel 8th generation 6 core Coffee Lake Core i7 and Core i9 CPUs, up to 32GB DDR4 RAM and a True Tone display. The Mac has a 2880 x 1800 IPS display with wide color gamut and excellent contrast, the 3rd gen Butterfly keyboard with quieter switches, the new Apple T2 coprocessor and the Touch Bar. Lisa takes a long look at CPU performance, temperatures and throttling in real life applications in this review. We use the higher end $2,799 pre-built config with the 2.6 GHz Core i7-8850H, AMD Radeon Pro 560X, 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD in this review. ** Note that this video was published before Apple released their July 24, 2018 supplemental OS update to fix excessive CPU throttling.
