THE NEW APPLE LAPTOP 2016 PRO
Like with the MacBooks Air, Apple's design for the Pro has been largely emulated by the industry at large, and merely bumping the specs to current generation chips isn't that interesting anymore.
Microsoft did choose to go with Skylake for its SurfaceBook convertible, but it was plagued with issues, including a failure for the machines to sleep, which caused them to get incredibly hot in bags. Intel has since introduced the next-generation Skylake, which Apple adopted it for the 12-inch MacBook in March of 2015, but hasn't updated either the 13-inch or 15-inch MacBooks Pro with it. That's a stark reminder of how dependent Macs remain on Intel processor roadmaps - and sometimes the roadmaps of graphics processor vendors like AMD as well. A month later, Intel shipped those chips. There were no chips appropriate for the 15-inch MacBook Pro at the time, so in May Apple updated it with previous-generation Haswell processors. Apple updated the 13-inch MacBook Pro back in March of 2015 with then-current generation Intel Broadwell processors. If that happens, it'll be when everything is in place to properly drive the bigger screen experience, even if the mainstream price points are still to come. It'd be great if Apple introduced a 14-inch MacBook as well, setting it up as a full-on Air replacement. The current MacBook is still aspirational, the way the original MacBook Air was, but it'll become everyday soon enough, just like the 2011 MacBook Air redesign did. Intel crippled the m3 enough that you can feel it struggle at times, but the m5, and especially the m7, are fast enough for any mainstream computing needs. MacBookĪpple already bumped the 12-inch MacBook this year, taking it up to a current-generation Intel Skylake Core-M processor. Once the new MacBook - and it's Retina display - come down in price, the MacBook Air won't be long for this world. The Air exists now to fill Apple's "starting at $899" price point, much as the old MacBook did before it was retired.
The new MacBook has replaced the old MacBook Air as lightest laptop in Apple's lineup, just like the Air replaced the old MacBook. But it's also an icon that's reaching the end of the line. The current 2011 design has been unabashedly adopted by almost every other manufacturer on the planet. When Steve Jobs pulled the original MacBook Air from a manila envelope at Macworld 2008, it reset all expectations.
THE NEW APPLE LAPTOP 2016 SOFTWARE
This year there were rumors we'd get the new MacBook Pro at WWDC, but it ended up being all about software instead.
THE NEW APPLE LAPTOP 2016 TV
Last year, there were rumors we'd get the new Apple TV at WWDC in June but it ended up being shown off at the September and shipping in October instead. We did have a March event this year, and did get iPhone SE, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, new Apple Watch bands, and the aforementioned MacBook update. Between iPad 3 and Apple Watch, we went a couple of years with no March event and sometimes no new announcements at all until WWDC in June. (Unless you have bottomless pockets).Now, we've had droughts when it's come to Apple product announcements before. I would recommend doing your research, the Applestore being your last resort. Saved about $1000 in the end buy doing this. I purchased mine used WITH apple-care, off someone on ebay. Look likes it's go ing to hold up to years worth of use. The billet aluminum housing is very stout. The actual unit is much more soundly built then previous versions. Screen resolution is incredible, but with that higher rez, system fonts and text within all applications is much smaller, so if you have bad eyesight, you might want to pass on the 17" and go for the 15". I very much miss the older separate button. I had to actually open the laptop up to adjust the click pressure, it was VERY loud (CLICK) and hard to press down. Speaker grill holes are like pinholes, and the sound is very thin and tinny.Īlso, the new glass trackpad. This is my 3rd 17" MBP, and although it is amazing, there are a few things i do not like about it: Previous 17's had surprisingly great sound, but this new 17" has horrible sound.
