When pushed hard, the laptop's fans begin to whir and the upper section of the keyboard tray get very hot, becoming almost painful to touch. The on-board Intel Iris 6100 graphics are also surprisingly capable we ran our standard Dirt Showdown benchmark (via a Windows 8 install using Boot Camp) and were impressed with the 33.5fps the laptop was able to produce. Indeed, this year's MacBook Pro took 12h 7m to deplete – an almost three hour improvement over the previous generation model. It's a small performance bump over last year's model, but Broadwell was designed with lower power consumption in mind rather than raw speed. In our new benchmarks, it scored a hugely impressive 87 in the image editing test, with scores of 60 and 43 in the video editing and multitasking challenges giving it an overall score of 56. Things slow a little when it comes to more advanced multimedia tasks, but it's still very capable. Performance is as snappy as you'd expect, helped by the cohesive feel of the Mac OS X operating system that helps you work through tasks at a blazing pace.
We tested the base model, which has a dual-core Core i5-5257U running at 2.7GHz. The second significant change is the switch to fifth-generation Intel "Broadwell" processors.
