Add the T2 Security Chip, True Tone display, and up to 32GB RAM, and you have a serious pro workstation for a fraction of the £1,749-£3,199 launch price.

Quad-core (13\") and hexa-core (15\") 8th-gen Coffee Lake processors are 30-50% faster than the 7th-gen Kaby Lake in the 2017. RAM options up to 32GB (vs 16GB), larger storage options, and a third-gen keyboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the 2018 MacBook Pro have the butterfly keyboard problem?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImproved but not eliminated.

The 15-inch has a hexa-core i7 or i9 with dedicated AMD Radeon Pro graphics and can be configured with up to 32GB RAM (vs 16GB max on 13\"). The 15-inch is significantly faster for creative work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo refurbished MacBook Pros come with new batteries?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 2018 MacBook Pro we sell tests at 85% battery health minimum. If it's below that, we replace the battery before resale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much is a refurbished MacBook Pro 2018 in the UK?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically £550-£1,100 depending on screen size, RAM, storage, and grade. 13-inch models start around £550; 15-inch with i9 and dedicated graphics reach £1,100 — versus £1,749-£3,199 new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I upgrade RAM or storage on the 2018 MacBook Pro?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — both are soldered.
