According to Apple it's only a software change, but as far as this showing up on existing systems with glass trackpads, Apple's lips are sealed. It's completely intuitive, comfortable, and helpful, but if you loathe it for some reason you can turn it off in system preferences.
This is very much like the motion on the iPhone (though of course you still use two fingers to scroll), or the motion available with some free-spinning scroll wheel mice, allowing the page to coast a little before slowing to a stop. One of the biggest changes to the new models, as silly as it sounds, is the "inertial scrolling" Apple has added to the touchpad. We love the island keyboard aesthetically, but part of us still pines for those old, indented Apple laptop keys. No big surprise, but we couldn't feel a single difference between the new keyboard and the last generation. Sure, it's nice that there's hardly any fan noise ever, but at some point the laptop becomes hot on top as well, causing our left palm and wrist to sweat - we'd say that's as good a time as any for the fan to kick into gear. Happily we can say the situation has been much improved in the new version, at least in average use, though it's still possible to get the machine to uncomfortable temperatures with a little bit of effort. The other major problem we've had with previous generations of the unibody MacBook Pros is the use of the bottom plate as a secondary heat sink of sorts - which turns our lap into a tertiary heat sink in the process. A standard HDMI port would also be nice, but we know Apple has its principles. It's one thing to have only two USB plugs, but when putting a thumb drive in one obscures the other you have a real problem. There's also the frustration of the too-close-together and too-few-in-number USB ports of the left side.
We don't need pillows, but some mild concession to our human flesh would be nice. First off, the sharp aluminum edges scream classy, but they also cut into the wrist when we're at an ergonomic disadvantage. Still, we have a few gripes about the design in actual use that we wouldn't have minded Apple addressing in this round. Despite many pretenders to the throne, Apple is still the class leader in looks, with an understated aluminum and glass design that isn't close to going out of style. Of course, that's not at all a bad thing. If one considers the current delivery problems and the availability of the Core 2 Duo processors, the Core Duo CPU wins over the Core 2 Duo processor.It's almost silly to talk about the look and feel of the MacBook Pro, because outside of the ExpressCard for SD card swap (grrr) and the sealed in battery (conflicted grrr), both of which happened in last year's refresh, the laptop has remained virtually unchanged externally for almost two years. The price difference between the T2400 and the T5600 is about € 250. Regarding the price, there is not much difference between the two CPUs. To insist on the new Core 2 Duo CPU is questionable as long as there are still reserve capacities. The question rises, whether it makes sense for an user to use a Core 2 Duo CPU. In average the battery runtime decreased by 10%. The battery runtime declined, because of the higher energy demand of the Core 2 Duo CPU. Regarding the emissions caused, one can count on a slight temperature increase and depending on the kind of control of the fans also on a slight increase in noise. If an application makes intensive use of the CPU, one can also observe an increase in performance of up to 25%. But this observation depends clearly on the application used. In our review we could measure a performance increase of about 10%. 3D Printing, 5G, Accessory, AI, Alder Lake, AMD, Android, Apple, ARM, Audio, Benchmark, Biotech, Business, Camera, Cannon Lake, Cezanne (Zen 3), Charts, Chinese Tech, Chromebook, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake, Console, Convertible / 2-in-1, Cryptocurrency, Cyberlaw, Deal, Desktop, E-Mobility, Education, Exclusive, Fail, Foldable, Gadget, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S, Gamecheck, Gaming, Geforce, Google Pixel, GPU, How To, Ice Lake, Intel, Intel Evo, Internet of Things (IoT), iOS, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Jasper Lake, Lakefield, Laptop, Launch, Leaks / Rumors, Linux / Unix, List, Lucienne (Zen 2), MacBook, Mini PC, Monitor, MSI, OnePlus, Opinion, Phablet, Radeon, Raptor Lake, Renoir, Review Snippet, Rocket Lake, Ryzen (Zen), Science, Security, Single-Board Computer (SBC), Smart Home, Smartphone, Smartwatch, Software, Storage, Tablet, ThinkPad, Thunderbolt, Tiger Lake, Touchscreen, Ultrabook, Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR), Wearable, Wi-Fi 7, Windows, Workstation, XPS, Zen 3 (Vermeer), Zen 4
