The 15-inch MacBook Pro has strong performance, fast SSDs and long battery life, but you’ll have to pay a ton for it, and it could use more ports.

Some pros have questioned the last few years of MacBook Pro. Why didn’t support 32GB of RAM? Where are all of the ports we need? In this year’s refresh of the 15-inch MacBook Pro ($2,399 to start, $3,199 as tested), Apple answered the first question, though the second remains unchanged. But with Intel’s 8th Gen hexa-core processors, the 2018 MacBook Pro is also far more powerful than last year’s models (supporting up to a Core i9) and has improved Radeon graphics. You’ll still have to live the dongle life, but if you need a portable performance machine, this one of the very best you can buy.
