Speakers on either side of the keyboard provided very good audio. Still, colors were bright, blacks were deep and dark, and viewing angles were excellent both vertically and horizontally. While reflections from the glossy display weren't overwhelming, it's also nice to know there's an antiglare option-though only for the higher resolution display. Its resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels is adequate, though we suspect many photographers and other creative pros will opt for the 1680 x 1050-pixel option. When you use two fingers to scroll down a document, it keeps scrolling for a bit even after you've completed the finger swipe this makes it easier to scroll though large documents.Īs usual, we loved the bright and crisp 15.6-inch display on the MacBook Pro. Of course, multitouch functionality is built in, and Apple has added an extra feature called inertial scrolling.
Not only is it huge-4.1 x 3 inches-but we never saw the cursor jump around, as with some Dell and HP touchpads, even when using two hands. While typing in a dark room, the soft glow enabled us to see the keys clearly.Īpple was the first company to introduce mouse buttons integrated into the touchpad itself, and while others have imitated it, Apple's touchpad still remains the best. The keys are backlit, a feature that can be activated manually or by the ambient light sensor, which will illuminate the keys when typing in low-light situations (such as a darkened plane cabin). Similar to other MacBook Pros, our unit featured a shallow keyboard with black, isolated keys that provided solid feedback when typing URLs and writing documents. Still, the HP Envy 15 was even hotter, reaching 110 degrees near the vent.
Moreover, while running the World of Warcraft test, we could hear the fan from 10 feet away.
Also, after using the system on our lap for an hour and typing this review while watching another Hulu video, the middle of the underside increased to a hot 105 degrees. However, the back rear bottom of the notebook reached an uncomfortable 104 degrees. The 15-inch MacBook Pro held up well during our heat test, where we play a Hulu video at full screen for 15 minutes the space between the G and H keys remained a balmy 84 degrees Fahrenheit, and the touchpad measured just 71 degrees.
