That's what Apple did in the event last night (27/10). Located at the main headquarters, Tim Cook et al introduced the MacBook Pro which has a completely new design; thinner, more compact yet more cool than the previous generation. Its weight is not lost even lighter than the MacBook Air, exactly 1.37 kg for 13-inch variant and 1.83 kg for the 15-inch variant.
So what's so revolutionary? If you glance to the very top of the keyboard, you might suspect that the sequence does not consist of physical buttons. Your guess is correct, because it is a true flagship MacBook Pro features the new generation, dubbed with the term Touch Bar.
Touch Bar is basically a touch screen multitouch elongated and high resolution which can display a variety of contextual menu. Primarily, Touch Bar replaces the system's role and function key as we meet on the MacBook line for years.
But interestingly, these virtual buttons will change when you open the app. In the application Final Cut Pro X, for example, Touch Bar will display the timeline; whereas in Safari, Touch Bar will present the tabs that are open, complete with its previewthumbnail.
Touch Bar will adapt to any application that is being run, featuring a row of buttons needed to help users navigate the application. Touch Bar as much as possible will minimize the use of the trackpad, or vice versa can actually blends harmoniously with the trackpad on a wide application Photoshop.
Speaking of the trackpad, you can see that the increasingly broad cross-section here. Apple claims a bigger 46 percent to 13 inch variants and nearly doubled for the 15-inch variant. Of course, they have also adopted the Force Touch technology.
Touch Bar also credited the presence of Touch ID on-line Mac device for the first time. It is located on the right edge, coinciding with its power button. Just like on the iPhone or iPad, this fingerprint sensor can be used to unlock your Mac instantly, transaction onlinevia Apple Pay and switch the user if the device is used by more than one person.
Turning to the screen, the resolution does not change for both variants: 2560 x 1600 pixels on a 13.3-inch variants, 2880 x 1800 pixels on a 15.4-inch variant. Even so, Apple claims the brightness and contrast ratio is increased by about 67 percent; can be lit with a maximum brightness level of 500 nits, but at the same time consuming 30 percent lower power.
What about performance? Do not worry, because the tradition started during the MacBook Pro is still maintained. Apple provides a choice of Intel Core i5 or i7 sixth generation, RAM 8 GB or 16 GB, Intel Iris Graphics for variants of 13 inches or Radeon Pro for variants 15 inches, as well as the SSD of 256 GB or 512 GB (can be configured up to 2 TB for variants 15 inch). Both variants are equally packed four USB ports-C which is also a Thunderbolt port 3.
MacBook Pro 13-inch will be sold with the official start at $ 1,799, while the 15-inch variant start at $ 2,399. Apple at the same time will also offer a variant that is not equipped with a 13 inch Touch Bar and just packed a pair of USB ports-C alone costing $ 1,499. All variants are available in a choice of gray or silver color space standard.
Unexpected, birth of a new generation of MacBook Pro proved impact on dipensiunkannya line of MacBook Air. Apple will still sell them until stock runs out, but in the future there will be no new MacBook Air.
Apple assess the new generation MacBook Pro is now able to provide all the advantages offered by the MacBook Air before. Body dimensions even smaller and thinner, but at the same time the performance is much faster and the battery can still survive for about 10 hours.
