In this article (5)
The hotly-anticipated Touch Bar Mac machines are here and they are packed with shiny upgrades. Apple has launched two new models that are thinner and lighter than ever – a 13-inch MacBook Pro (14.9mm) and a 15-inch MacBook Pro (15.5mm).
The key features on the refreshed MacBook Pros include a context-sensitive, customisable Touch Bar that replaces the physical function key strip, giving fast access to popular commands, quick actions and your commonly-used apps and programs
Touch ID makes its debut on the laptop, allowing you to authorise payments, switch accounts and say goodbye to typing in long passwords.
Apple has also pumped up the battery life to 10 hours and simplified the machine’s exterior, trimming down various ports on the chassis, relying primarily on four Thunderbolt 3 ports for connectivity and power. But do not worry, the headphone jack is still there.
The laptops are scheduled to ship in 2-3 weeks and you can order them now at the Apple Store.
The 13-inch, 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and Touch ID costs S$2,588, while the 15-inch, 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 MacBook Pro costs S$3,948. Both machines are available in Space Grey and Silver.
