Apple Laptop Specification & Price in Nigeria

As expected, the Macbook Pro arrived with a premium design common with Apple products.

Measuring just over 2 cm thick, the latest Apple Macbook Pro wields the power of a Kaby Lake processor with a single all-purpose port that accepts any input.

While the processor is super-fast and impressive, the same cannot be said about the single all-purpose port that the Macbook Pro comes with.

Don’t get me wrong, the port is quite efficient in terms of functionality; in fact, it is superb (that’s not hype), but at the same time, you’ll need an adapter each time you want to connect the Macbook Pro with an external device like the old HDMI USB.

If you can forgive that little shortcoming, you will find the Macbook Pro is one of the best laptops for the money.

Apple Macbook Pro Review

The classic MacBook Air makes some big improvements and even cuts the starting price, making it hard to beat for students, creatives, and almost anyone else.

Take a 2019 13-inch MacBook Air. Now take the brand-new 2020 version. Put them next to each other and try to tell the two apart. You can’t; they’re identical. Until that is, you open both lids. It’s a subtle thing, but if you look closely, the keyboard has a new look and feel. The flat, island-style keyboard is slightly raised on the new model versus the older one.

More than anything else, the new Magic Keyboard is what makes the latest Air such a winner. Yes, it solves a problem largely of Apple’s own making, but the result is highly satisfying, especially when coupled with the new $999 starting price and component changes, which is why it is considered.

I once called the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air “the most universally useful laptop you can buy.” That was back when the Air was a college-student-friendly $999 and outclassed anything you could get for the same price in the Windows world.

Others might have matched or beat its processor speeds, but the Air had a slim, unibody aluminum shell, a near-perfect keyboard, and an OS that wouldn’t drive you (quite as) crazy.

Design and Display

As expected, Apple Macbook Pro features a rich premium design with an impressive display resolution. The MacBook Pro comes in two different sizes: 13-inch and 15-inch displays.

While the 15-inch size is ideal for a laptop and the most convenient to work with, you may go with the smaller 13-inch size if you are concerned about portability.

The Macbook Pro features a slim body slightly above 2cm when closed.

The keys of the Macbook Pro are a little more spongy than other Macs, and you may have to increase your press to make an impression.

The display of the Macbook Pro is where everything gets exciting – it features a rich 2560 x 1600 pixels LED-backlit display 13-inch model, and a 2880 x 1800 pixels LED backlit display on the 15-inch model. The display supports up to 8 million colors and gives a sharp display that’s common across all Apple devices.

Better Processors

When launched in 2016, the Macbook Pro featured a Skylake processor, which gave an impressive performance at the time. But Now newer MacBook pro now features the Kaby Lake processor, which is regarded as a better solution for speed. The Kaby Lake processor gives an impressive 3.1GHz processing speed.

RAM

The 13-inch MacBook Pro features a maximum of 8GB RAM, while the 15-inch sports 16GB.

The larger RAM size of the 15-inch MacBook Pro shows that the model is way faster than the 13-inch model, which features half its RAM size.

But except you’re hoping to do some tough work or gaming with your MacBook Pro, if not, the 8GB RAM offers a speed sufficient for everyday work, including light work apps like Microsoft Office suites or even heavy graphics apps like Photoshop.

However, if you believe you’ll be doing some heavy work in the future, you can go with the 16GB RAM, as it is often almost impossible to upgrade the RAM size of a MacBook pro.

Graphics

A Graphics card is needed for graphic design or video editing. You’ll need a laptop with integrated or dedicated graphics cards to use graphic apps like Adobe Photoshop.

Integrated graphics make use of the laptop RAM. This often leads to a reduction in speed. Dedicated graphics have separate memories and do not rely on a laptop RAM.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro features an Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 or 650, depending on your chosen model, while the 15-inch model features a dedicated Radeon Pro 555 or 560 graphics card.

For most professionals looking for a laptop for regular work such as writing, editing, reading, or even browsing, going with either model shouldn’t be a problem as it won’t make any difference.

However, professional graphics designers, video editors, etc., whose works rely heavily on graphics cards, will be better off with the 15-inch model, which features a dedicated graphics card.

Battery Life

Long battery life has always been a strong point for Apple products. The same applies to the Macbook Pro. Both models feature cells with up to 10 hours of standby time, even with heavy usage.

Also, it features fast charging technology, and as such, the battery can be completely charged within 2 hours even when being used.

Storage

Both models – 13-inch and 15-inch, feature four different types of storage: 500GB to 1TB HDD or 128GB to 512GB SSD.

If you’re a regular user and only work with Word documents, the 128GB storage will be more than sufficient for you. However, if you want more video space, up for a model with 500GB or 1TB. For gamers, the 1TB storage is the most recommended size.

Specifications to Consider When Buying Apple Laptops in Nigeria

Before concluding the payment of your laptop, there are certain factors & specifications you need to check to find the best fit for yourself. Some of these factors are listed below.

RAM(Random Access Memory): RAM is the computer’s temporary memory. It stores your applications and games on the fly as you run them. It also allows you to run multiple applications and games simultaneously without crashing. That means the more RAM your computer has, the more applications it can process.

Suppose you love to do multiple tasks with your laptop, like playing games, browsing the internet, watching movies, and listening to music. In that case, you should consider getting yourself a laptop with a large RAM capacity.

Screen Resolution or Size: Screen size is a major factor for gamers, graphic designers, and movie lovers because they love to see all the action clearly when played. However, individuals who use laptops for professional activities like programming, accounting, or engineering don’t consider screen size a major factor; they consider the laptop’s processing power.

That being said, the screen size factor depends on what you plan to do with your laptop.

Local Disk Capacity: The local disk or hard drive allows you to store your files, applications, and games within your computer. Your profession or what you plan to do with your computer determines the capacity of the hard disk you should look for. For instance, professionals like video editors will need a laptop with a large hard drive capacity since they will be storing bulky files.

Weight: If you carry your laptop computer all the places you go, you need a light laptop. Your laptop shouldn’t be a burden to you. However, if your laptop is immobile, you shouldn’t consider this factor.

Processing Power: The processor or CPU enables your laptop to execute or run your applications and games. This is one of the most important parts of all computers. A processor is the brain or engine of your computer, while other components are the body frame.

For you to run your applications & games efficiently, you need a laptop with a high-graded processor. Performing tedious tasks like video editing will render much slower on low processors and faster on a high-quality processor. Some of the fastest processors of Apple laptops are Core i5, Core i7, Xeon workstation, Core M, and quad-core i7. More details on processors are here.

Reasons Why People Prefer Apple Laptops To Windows

Security: Because windows laptops are affordable & rampant, most hackers program viruses, Trojans, and malware specially made for windows laptops. But in the case of Apple laptops, it’s not so because they are used by the few who can afford them.

Nevertheless, no one can guarantee that Apple laptops cannot be hacked or infected, but the rate is very low.

Stylish Design: Have you always adored that bright & cute apple-shaped light at the back of apple laptops? Well, most folks purchase apple laptops due to their stylish designs. Apple laptops have unique shapes, sleekness, weight, and slimness, which you will love.

Prestige: Prestige is one of the core reasons people prefer apple laptops to windows. Due to the price tags of Apple products, folks who can afford to purchase them are often regarded as being rich & high-class.

Portability: Laptops made by apple are light and movable. They can never weigh you down when carried about.
