Laptops for photo editing
Apple MacBook Pro 15in
£3,329 / $3,499
Processor: Six-core 2.9GHz Intel Core i9 RAM: 32GB • Storage: 512GB SSD Screen: 15in IPS LCD, 2,880 x 1,800
Our MacBook Pro test machine came with a range-topping Intel Core i9 8950HK processor and 32GB of RAM, so it’s no surprise that it aced our benchmark tests and felt lightning-fast in Photoshop.
Along the top of the keyboard you’ll find Apple’s Touch Bar. This row of virtual buttons dynamically changes according to your current app, and Photoshop makes great use of it.
The display’s 2,880 x 1,800 resolution may be less than 4K, but it’s easily crisp enough; the display also automatically tweaks the colour to compensate for ambient lighting. We disabled this feature for consistency and recorded an outstanding Delta-E figure of just 0.54. Screen
