The new 2018 lineup of MacBook Pro series is among the best productivity machines one can buy. This laptop will go perfectly with a video/photo editor or just someone who wants to complete their office work and watch a little multimedia. Apart from the thermal issues in some high-end configurations, these laptops serve their purpose pretty well. Featuring up to date hardware, some best in class build quality, and the MacOS we all know and love so much, Apple does manage to justify their immensely huge price tag in lots of ways.
For one, if you do not like what Microsoft is offering, you are probably getting a MacBook. If you own an iPhone and are looking to buy a new laptop, chances are you want a MacBook. Then there are all the arguments about the Final Cut X and Apple’s ecosystem. And if you are looking for a high-end beast of a computer, the iMac Pro might suffice your needs. no matter your reasons to buy one, if you do end up with one, you won’t be regretting anything. Keeping this in mind, Oliz Store has launched the refreshed 2018 edition of the MacBook Pro series!
MacBook Pro 13
The MacBook Pro 13 is a perfect device for media consumption, light photo and video editing, and all kinds of basic office work. This device is easily one of the best laptops you can buy right now. Apart from the fact that it won’t come with a dedicated graphics or the mind-boggling price tag, the configuration it has will be more than ample for most users. It’s highly portable and should deliver you a great user experience. You can get the MacBook Pro 13 in Nepal in two storage options. The 256GB will cost you Rs 240,000 and the 512GB variant will set you back Rs. 263,000.

MacBook Pro 15
If for some reason the 13-inch device can’t handle your needs, the 15-inch MacBook Pro 15 should do the job. The bigger one delivers on a bigger and better display, better performance, and a dedicated graphics. There are two versions of the laptops available, one with a 256GB SSD with a price tag of Rs 315,000 and the other with a 512GB storage with a price tag of Rs 3,80,000.
The more expensive variant also comes with a better Radeon Pro 560X processor while relatively cheaper one comes with a Radeon Pro 555X. Other difference included the base and boost clock speeds of the processors. Apart from these two, they are pretty much the same laptops. As for my opinion, go either one should do just fine, but if you are not sure which one to get, just keep in mind these laptops are pretty much non-upgradable.
