Both the 15-inch MacBook Pro laptops house AMD Radeon Pro 455 dedicated graphics with 2GB of GDDR5 memory. There are four Thunderbolt ports in each with multiple functionality support, and the Touch Bar with Touch ID integration is the most significant upgrade here.

While the older MacBook Pro measures 1.8cm in thickness and weighs 2.04kg, the new MacBook Pro 15-inch measures 1.55cm in thickness and weighs 1.83kg.
