New MacBook Pro with Touch Bar



Faster, more powerful yet thinner and more lighter. This is the new MacBook Pro.

Aswell as having the most brightest and most colourful notebook display yet, the new MacBook Pro introduces ' the Touch Bar' — a Multi-Touch enabled strip of glass built into the keyboard for instant access to the tools you want, right when you want them.

A long, skinny OLED touchscreen that sits above the keyboard, where you normally find the  traditional F1-F12 keys, as well as the escape key and power button. There is also a fingerprint reader on the far right end of the bar, similar to the one on the iPhone, which enables Touch ID and Apple Pay for secure system log-ins and online payments.


The bar changes automatically based on what you’re doing to show you relevant tools you already know how to use — system controls like volume and brightness, interactive ways to adjust or browse through content, intelligent typing features like emoji and predictive text, and more. And for the first time, Touch ID is available on a Mac, enabling instant access to logins and fast, secure online purchases with Apple Pay.


The keyboard has a redesigned 2nd Gen butterfly mechanism- refined for more responsiveness and comfort when typing. The Force Touch trackpad is now larger, 2x in fact, to give you more room to click and make gestures.

The speakers have been redesigned and now provides up to twice as much dynamic range as the previous MacBook Pro and up to 58% more volume.

As for ports we now have Thunderbolt 3 combined with USB-C universal ports around the edges. This means data transfer, charging, and video output are all in a single connector, delivering up to 40 Gbps of throughput.


They will come in a 13" and 15" size. Prices start at £1,449 ($1,499 USD) for a MacBook Pro without a touch bar and £1,749 ( $1,799 USD) with the New Touch Bar.

In addition to the Touch Bar, you get a faster processor (a 2.9GHz Intel Core i5, versus a 2.0GHz Core i5), better integrated Intel graphics (Iris 550 versus Iris 540), and it doubles the number of included USB-C Thunderbolt ports to four.
