Apple Macbook Pro 15.4 Quad Core I7 256Gb

I'm upgrading from an i7 dual core macbook pro from 2017, and this is well worth the upgrade. The computer wakes instantly and it is certainly the fastest laptop I have ever used. I've been using it for a few weeks and haven't had any issues downloading or running any programs, and the design is very sleek. I'm also a huge fan of the 120Hz screen refresh rate as well, as it makes the screen much easier to look at for long periods of time!

My old 27 iMac with a quad core I7 deserved a speed bump by adding a SSD for it's OS X 10.10 beta and apps. It's boot time increased significantly and I could not be happier. The handsome blue aluminum drive enclosure was a bolt-on upgrade replacing the old Apple SuperDrive. I've given the computer to my grand-daughter and hope she enjoys working with it for several years. It's a step up from the dual core laptop we gave her a few years back.

Perfect for my Mac Pro (Mid 2010), Quad-core.

I decided to replace my 2006 quad core Mac Pro with this machine. It is SOOO quiet. It is quieter than my Macbook Pro. I hooked it to my old 30 cinema display and it is terrific. It is fast and makes work a pleasure. As you know all the hard drives are externally accessed. I decided to keep my old mac pro and attached it to one of the ethernet ports on both. It works very well as a file server. I can run the old mac pro through sharing screens.

Extended my macbook pro from 128GB to 256GB now. It's useful and the cost is low. Love it.

I upgraded from 2012 15.4 MacBook Pro, which still runs well but I needed the latest for my consulting project. This laptop is beastly in its speed and processing power. Display is superb and the battery life is 20+ hours every single time. I look forward to carrying this laptop without power cord when I am at clients' site or on the road. I am a management consult and hence usually use office productivity apps but I will need some serious processing power for database and BI apps like PowerBI and Tableaux. I think I have 10 times the processing power I will need. The price is high but in terms of value, it's going to be as good as 2012 MacBook Pro, which still is very good, after 11 years! So, this is a steal for those who are looking for the state of the art technology and the best long-term value!

This hooked right up with my 2017 15.4" MacBook Pro.� Gives me the extra screen real estate I need when I'm not at my office hooked up to my bigger monitor.

No compatability problems with the quad core 2012 Mac Pro. Plugged them in and worked without issue.

Apple MacBook Pro's have always delivered, and this one is no exception.

Switching from i7 macbook pro this one really made a huge difference in speed. With 32Gb RAM it is easy to edit 45mpix raw images in Adobe Lr, C1, PS, etc. No lag at all. Monitor can be perfectly calibrated (used x-rite). Battery life is also good and new keyboard and huge trackpad are a plus. Only drawback is that B&H does not offer the bundle with 100w power supply.
