Meet Apple’s complete MacBook line-up
Leah Yamshon takes a closer look at Apple’s laptop range
After September’s annual iPhone-focused event, it was time for the Mac to have its turn in the spotlight. Apple recently revealed three new MacBook Pros, two of them featuring the Touch Bar, the firm’s brand-new touch control panel at the top of the keyboard. The MacBook Pro got a minimal refresh in October 2015 to introduce the Force Touch trackpad, but it’s been a minute since the line has seen a major update.
As new products come in, old products must go out, so the MacBook line-up now looks a little different. Here’s a look at each of Apple’s laptops.
