The Acer Aspire S7-392, which has the same CPU as the Samsung but 8GB of RAM, scored 5,184.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro's score of 8,249 on Geekbench was more than 2,000 points higher than the category average (5,910) as well as the Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus (5,077), which has a 1.6-GHz Intel Core i5-4200U processor, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. All are below what we consider uncomfortable (95 degrees) however, the back-right corner of the bottom hit 97 degrees.Ĭlick to EnlargeBoasting a fourth-generation 2.4-GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of flash storage, the 2013 MacBook Pro cruised through our benchmarks with ease.

While the bass was a little underwhelming, the audio was well balanced, and higher tones - such as the hi-hat - were clearly defined, with little distortion.Īfter we streamed a Hulu video on full screen for 15 minutes, the touchpad on the MacBook Pro measured 79 degrees Fahrenheit, the space between the G and H keys was 90 degrees and the middle of the underside was 89 degrees. At max volume, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "White Walls" more than filled our office. The stereo speakers beneath the MacBook Pro's keyboard pumped out loud, powerful and accurate sound. With a brightness of 340 lux, the MacBook Pro outshone the ATIV Book 9 Plus (251 lux), Acer Aspire S7 (329 lux) and Sony VAIO Pro 13 (237 lux).

While the ATIV Book 9 Plus has an even higher resolution of 3200 x 1800, there are no Windows 8 apps optimized for such high resolutions. For example, when we browsed Web pages in Safari, text and pictures looked incredibly crisp. More important, there are about 250 apps that can take advantage of the Pro's Retina Display. Whether we were watching trailers, such as "Thor: The Dark World' viewing websites or looking at high-res pictures, images just popped off the screen.

Have some tests you’d like us to run? Let us know in the comments.Click to EnlargeLike last year's 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro, the 2560 x 1600-pixel display on this year's version is absolutely stunning. Rendering the project after applying the effects and analyzing the color took 80 seconds on that Retina MacBook Pro, but just under 40 seconds on the new Mac Pro.Ĭheck back soon for our full review of the new Mac Pro. The Retina MacBook Pro, with its speedy PCIe connected flash, imported the footage in an impressive time, but the new Mac Pro was still 23 percent faster.

That was about one-third the time it took to for the 2013 CTO iMac with Fusion Drive to import the footage. Importing took around 131 seconds on the 2012 quad-core Mac Pro, but just under 16 seconds on the new Mac Pro.

To see how well the computer handles 4K video, we turned off background processing and timed how long it took to import 60 seconds worth of 3840-by-2086 clips into a 4K project, apply a couple of filters, and balance the color of the clips.

Apple’s iMovie application takes advantage of Quick Sync Video to speed up video processing, which explains why those two Macs perform so much better on this one test than the new Mac Pro.Īpple updated its professional video editing application, Final Cut Pro X, to take advantage of the new Mac Pro hardware. The Xeon processors in the new Mac Pro do not. Both the iMac and MacBook Pro use Intel Core processors that include Intel Quick Sync Video’s hardware acceleration support. Update: As was pointed out to us by a couple of astute Macworld readers, the reason for the performance difference lies with Intel’s Quick Sync Video technology. The new Mac Pro was the fastest Mac Pro in that test, but at 170 seconds, it lagged well behind the Retina MacBook Pro’s 63-second result and the CTO iMac’s very impressive 47-second time.

We use iMovie’s Enhance feature and exported as a 720p movie. The strangest result was our iMovie test that uses some iPhone 5s slo-mo video footage. The new Mac Pro did well on graphics tests, especially compared to the older Mac Pros, but the 27-inch iMac’s Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M with 4GB of RAM performed a bit better in one test (Cinebench’s GPU benchmark) than the workstation-class D700 graphics in the new Mac Pro.
