They easily filled a mid-sized conference room with sound when I listened to Bruno Mars’ “Runaway Baby.” The vocals were clear, the guitars were balanced, the drums had a nice thump and I could even make out the bass, which is often a weak point on laptops (especially ultraportables). These speakers are surprisingly strong for such a thin machine. Additionally, the T2 chip serves as the SSD controller and uses Apple’s secure enclave for encryption and secure booting. I personally don’t use Siri very heavily on my Mac, but now you can use it the same way on as you do with an iPad and iPhone. Most notably, it lets the MacBook Pro listen for the “Hey Siri” command to bring up Apple’s assistant. This takes on functionality that would usually be handled by the CPU. T2 ChipĪlongside the 13-inch MacBook Pro, the 15-inch laptop is one of Apple’s first notebooks with its T2 chip. The Touch Bar is something I accept, but without wider developer support, it still doesn’t feel essential. But I still prefer the function row, and I wish Apple provided options for either. I can use it to change the volume and adjust the brightness. The OLED Touch Bar, though, is less useful.
