(A more expensive configuration of the MacBook Pro features the same Nvidia GPU found in the Dell XPS 15.) The integrated graphics are perfectly acceptable for working with video and images, though the scores in our gaming tests won't exactly knock your socks off.Īt its native 2,880 x 1,800 resolution, the Retina Display MacBook Pro recorded 25 frames per second on World of Warcraft, a lower score than that registered by the Dell XPS 15 (34 fps) and well behind the 51 fps that the V15 Nitro turned in. The 15-inch MacBook I tested uses integrated graphics in the form of Intel Iris Pro rather than a dedicated graphics card. Apple's laptop completed the test in 3 minutes and 4 seconds, faster than both the Dell XPS 15 (4:09) and V15 Nitro (3:55), and around two minutes faster than the average notebook.

The MacBook Pro also outpaced its rivals in matching 20,000 names and addresses in Open Office 4. The MacBook Pro recorded a file-transfer rate of 282.7 MBps, doubling the average speed of 138.7 MBps while also besting the performance of the Dell (154.2 MBps) and Acer (203.6 MBps). The 256GB drive in my test MacBook Pro copied 5GB of multimedia files in 18 seconds, much faster than the XPS 15 and its 512GB SSD (33 seconds) and the V15 Nitro with its 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD combo (25 seconds). The MacBook Pro's use of PCIe-based flash storage really helped it dominate our hard-drive tests. Not only did that best the average notebook score of 9,308, but it also outpaced the scores of the Dell XPS 15 and its 2.3-GHz Intel Core i7-4712HQ processor (11,816) and the Acer V15 Nitro with its 2.5-GHz Intel Core i7-4710HQ processor (12,843). The MacBook Pro scored 13,352 on Geekbench 3, a test that measures overall performance. That helps to explain this MacBook Pro's stellar performance in many of our tests, especially when compared to other 15-inch notebooks. Intel's Turbo Boost technology lets that Core i7 run faster by upping the clock speed - up to 3.4GHz in the configuration I tested - when you need some extra performance oomph.
