Apple MacBook Pro 15 (Late 2016 2.9 GHz, 460) Notebook Review

[Klaus Hinum]

The 460 of course needs more power under graphics load and reduces battery runtime (e.g. in games). As you can read in the review, it wont affect noise.

So what are the differences between the 2.6 and the 2.7 besides the clock speed and the cache. And what do those differences mean? And any of those differences affect Final Cut Pro performance? Thank you.

[Klaus Hinum]

You can find the differences in the CPUs linked in each review, we tested all three CPUs in the MacBook Pro 15. The higher the clockspeed, the faster, but it depends on your workload. The maximum gain is usually the % of clockspeed increase. If you render mission critical, the faster CPUs may be a good choice.

First and foremost: your reviews are the most accurate and most scientific available today. Thank you.

I would have a technical question: can anybody explain why these machines have such a low "load" battery life?
It is much worse than the XPS 15 (2017) that has a more powerful graphic card.
It is even worse (half of it!!!!!!!!) than the MacBook Pro 2015! It cannot be all because of the smaller battery which is "only" 30% smaller...

Thanks!
