MacBook Pro

-

Apple debuted the new MacBook Pro in October 2016 with an OLED strip of app-specific controls called the Touch Bar. The Force Touch trackpad was made larger to give more room for gestures, and the keyboard was also updated to have a second-generation version of the butterfly keys from the 12-inch MacBook.

The MacBook Pro range then got a further boost at WWDC 2017, when both the 13-inch and 15-inch models had their processors updated to Intel’s Kaby Lake models. The larger of the two also had its graphics card upgraded to give more powerful Radeon Pro options.

You get two or four Thunderbol­t 3 ports (depending on the model), which are also compatible with USB-C devices, and through which you can charge the MacBook Pro. The 13-inch and 15-inch sizes remain, although the entry-level 13-inch lacks a Touch Bar.
