Advertisement Alongside the launch of the 2018 editions of the and, has also announced a hardware upgrade for the Mac mini, the first time in four years. The new Mac mini can be configured to up to six-core Intel Core i7, 64GB RAM and 2TB of storage and will be available at a base price of $799 (approx. As a refreshment to its predecessor, the latest Apple Mac mini will be powered by a quad-core 8th Gen Intel processor or a six-core Intel Core i7 with support for up to 64GB of RAM. The machine can be purchased with up to 2TB of flash storage and will also equip Apple’s latest T2 security chip.

Macx youtube downloader 4.1 0 for mac high sierra. Hi guys,I'm looking at buying the 13' macbook pro with retina display with 512gb flash drive. I'm on a bit of a budget and trying to decide between upgrading to the 2.8GHz i7 processor or 16GB of.

For connectivity, the Mac mini packs in four USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports, an HDMI port, an Ethernet port and two USB-A ports at the back. On the physical side, the 2018 Mac mini looks very much similar to its predecessor from 2014. However, Apple will now be offering the latest models with a Space Gray finish and has claimed that the materials used on the outside are made of 100 percent recycled aluminium. The new Apple Mac mini will be available for purchase at $799 (approx.

Rs 58,000) for the base variant which is configured with Intel Core i3, 8GB RAM, and 128GB of SSD storage.

The opinions expressed are those of the writer. Apple 13.3-inch MacBook Pro. UPDATE. If you’ve been waiting to upgrade your MacBook, wait a little longer.

That’s typical advice you’d get from pretty much anyone but this year it has special meaning. In short, quad-core. I’ve been using two Windows 10 laptops with and the performance boost is big enough that it’s palpable, i.e., you don’t need benchmarks to prove to yourself that it’s real.

Benchmarks: Though benchmarks are of course available. They show a jump over the 7th gen dual-core — what the 13-inch MBP now uses — of 40 percent.

For example, (MobileTechReview — the 7:40 mark in the video) and (PC World). I’ve been toting around a Hewlett-Packard Spectre 13 and Dell XPS 13, both late 2017 models with Intel’s 8th gen quad-core processor. Based on daily use and published benchmarks, I’m guessing that the 2018 MacBook Pro 13 (due in June¹) is going to get a lot closer to current heavy-lifting quad-core laptops. That includes the mid-2017 15-inch MacBook Pro² (which I also use).

MobileTechReview compared the late-2017 XPS 13 (15-watt 8th gen quad-core) to a standard (45-watt) quad-core Intel CPU. Though Lisa Gade said that thermal and power limits act as a check on the 15-watt 8th gen quad-core compared to its higher-wattage cousin, it’s impressive nonetheless. “When comparing it to a true45-watt CPU used in current 15-inch professional and gaming laptops, it’s not as fast as a Dell XPS 15 in real-world use but it fallscloser to an XPS 15 than it does the old XPS 13,” Gade said in the video. But in some select cases, it actually does top the XPS 15. “No, that’s not a typo: The tiny XPS 13 can outshine the beefier XPS 15 in some single-threaded tasks,” PC World said. Intel 8th gen Mobile U series quad-core processor. Why it’s a big deal: This is a watershed because, for the first time, svelte 13-inch laptops are able to tap into Intel quad-core performance.

I can remember far enough back when Intel switched to dual core for the first time from its longstanding single-core processors. That also was a watershed. And the other thing that has been really surprising for me is that battery life doesn’t take a hit. I see battery life on the quad-core XPS 13 (4K display version) of between 6 and 8 hours³, the same, if not a little better than the prior-generation 7th gen Intel dual-core XPS 13. Both PC World and MobileTechReview found that battery life actually beat the prior-gen dual-core XPS 13.

That’s amazing. And what about the 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro? While it isn’t as certain as quad-core in the 2018 MBP 13, it’s possible that the MBP 15 goes from quad-core to six cores, aka, the Intel. See the rumored specs for the mobile version of that processor.

The Coffee Lake Core i7 8700 is being. Mobile would come later. It’s also possible that Apple taps the new, as Dell is doing with the new XPS 15 2-in-1 coming out later this year. —- ¹Depending on Intel’s response to and whether it brings out updated silicon in a timely manner. It’s possible that Apple decides to delay the introduction of new processors until Intel has sorted out the Spectre Meltdown mess.

Of course, Apple could surprise us too by doing an accelerated introduction. ²I use a mid-2017 15.4-inch MacBook Pro on and off as my daily driver. If you’re a typical user with one laptop, once you go quad-core it’s hard to go back. The list is too long of applications that benefit from quad core. ³T hat’s based on my own usage patterns, which tend to be battery-intensive. Other users may get more battery life. And you’ll definitely get better battery life if you opt for the lower-resolution FHD (1,920-by-1,080) version of the XPS 13.
