The two games we tested, Batman and Tomb Raider, both served up respectable average frame rates. There’s a noticeable difference compared to the last generation of MacBooks, which are 80% slower, according to Apple. That's mostly the case with this new machine, although the addition of 64MB of embedded eDRAM graphics memory means that lesser demanding 3D games are now playable with decent frame rates. MacBooks like the entry-level MacBook Pro have never made great gaming machines in the absence of dedicated graphics.

#APPLE MACBOOK PRO 13 2016 REVIEW 1080P#
The unit lasted 7 hours and 24 minutes through our anecdotal battery test, which is looping a locally stored 1080p film at 75% screen brightness. The MacBook’s impressive battery life is capable of reaching into the double figures if you keep the display’s brightness turned down to halfway while monitoring any apps that may be sapping battery life.
Apple’s new MacBook feels like snappy whatever you’re running on it, and that’s largely down to its blazing fast storage. The Pro’s read speed of 1,048MB/s is similarly impressive, beating the Air’s 612MB/s. Apple says that the MacBook can reach sequential write speeds of up to 3.1GBps. The MacBook Pro smashed BlackMagic’s Disk Speed test out of the park, exceeding the app’s maximum write speed of 2,000MB/s, whereas the Air peaked at 1,302MB/s. Our benchmark figures reflect the MacBook Pro’s superiority, scoring higher on Geekbench 3’s multi-core CPU test (6,646 versus the Air’s 5,768) and NovaBench’s full-system benchmark test (730 versus 634). Even Parallels Desktop 12, which runs choppy on the 1.2GHz version of the Broadwell-based 13-inch MacBook Air from 2015, handles Office 2016 like a champ. The Skylake processor and 8GB of memory combine to great effect, allowing a double digit number of applications to be open at once with several tab-filled browsers in the background. When it comes to getting stuff done, the MacBook Pro is more than up to the task.
