I have an early 2013 i5 2.6ghz MacBook Pro. Nearly 3 years later the newest macbook pro is ~$1500.00 for a slight bump in specs. Better intel graphics and 2.7ghz processor. I have the upgraded version 2.9ghz and 16GB of RAM which I got from work recently.<p>The article brings up integration with the newest chipset from intel: Skylake. I am sure the 3 computers I referenced above have different iterations of processor, even in the same "family". Am I missing larger improvements by reading too much into the specs? Is a Skylake processor or a jump from intel 4100 - 6100 graphics that large. I am an Apple fan, but a sub 2ghz processor seems very small for a laptop. Does the clock speed (i believe that is the metric) not matter and they are much superior now?<p>I find it hard to "feel" much improvement after buying a new laptop, so even in concert there doesn't feel like much speed improvement / better experience from <i>hardware</i>, at least within the Apple ecosystem.<p>Thoughts?
