Thanks for the review AI!

I have 2016 maxed out 13" MBP and an LG UltraFine 5K monitor.  Adding the BlackMagic inline to the 5K been a game changer for my casual video editing and World of Warcraft sessions (neither is work, but therapy  ).  I do notice even OS animations (screen switching, screensavers, etc.) on the 5K are much more fluid with the BlackMagic hooked inline to it.

Can't speak to the 2018 13" personally (this review does a great job of that), but if you have a 2016 13" or 2017 13" and an LG UltraFine 5K display, I highly recommend it!  It's like having a real workstation at home, and ultra portability on the go...

Thanks for the input! It's nice to know that the dual-core 13" gained a lot from it as well. We have one but didn't have the time to test it.

The most boring flagship phone announcement I've ever seen. 
Same old slow Snapdragon 845 processor.. cmon.
A11 in the iPhone X is already faster in every way.
The only plus for Samsung is the extra RAM. 
Just wait for Apple's next iPhone lineup sporting the A12...

It could work as an alternative, like using Apple Pay when you forgot your wallet at home, but won't work as a replacement.
Just wait for them to start chipping everyone.

Looks meh to me.

It would be interesting to note if there is much of a real world difference between the 2.2 and 2.6 model one since there really is only a $100 difference between similarly optioned models.  ($300 between 2.6 and i9).

Base: 991
Mid: 1001
i9: 1011

Clock speed averages for each under load after heating up and stabilizing:
Base: 3.05Ghz
Mid: 3.1Ghz
i9: 3.15Ghz
