In summary, there is a lot to like about the 2018 MacBook Pro. It has made great strides in performance and runs alongside the iMac Pro for the single-core and 2- to 5-core computations I benchmarked in this review.

The increase in memory to 32GB makes it a truly viable machine for my CFD workflows.

The keyboard is more precise and quieter, and the new True Tone display is a standout feature that my eyes appreciated every time I looked at it.

Overall this 2018 model is a very solid evolution, with improvements that emphasize the "Pro" in MacBook Pro.
