Apple working on the most significant update to the MacBook Pro – 01net.com

If fans of Apple products obviously awaiting the release of the iPhone 7 (which you can find all the information or rumors here) this year, 2016 should be an opportunity for Apple to introduce new MacBook Pro 13 and 15 inches. So, like the smartphone, these laptops are also experienced their share of rumors. In this case according to the site Macrumors, Apple working on a version completely redesigned MacBook Pro that could emerge in the last quarter 2016.



Thinner and lighter

If we know for now rather little about the new machines, and already we can already say that the source quoted by Macrumors is quite reliable. This is indeed the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, known well enough to anticipate the “plans” of Apple.

Thus, according to Kuo, this update of the MacBook Pro could be one of the most significant in recent years. “For a long time ignored the MacBook line will be the major deployment of Apple in 2016. And this is especially true for MacBook Pro, scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2016.

Finally, this new generation of MacBook Pro of course incorporate the latest generation of components, including side processors with Intel chips Skylake, the graphics would be provided by AMD chips, Polaris, which are supposed to take the mid-range in terms of performance.

the lightening of MacBook Pro and filtering could also confirm the abandonment (for now) of the Air range, which was the first incarnation of the ultra- Apple laptops.

We only have to wait the end of the year to learn more about the new MacBook. But the schedule however seems a little long. The range of MacBook Pro has so far not been updated since May 2015. Apple has already, in the past, practiced minor updates before a big reshuffle. We could therefore see the MacBook Pro pass to processors Skylake shortly before a redesign later this year …
