Apple is widely expected to announce a new MacBook Pro range this year, with a new previously reliable source giving some additional insight into the potential hardware features of the revamped MacBook Pro. We've already heard rumors suggesting that a new MacBook Pro range would include Touch ID and a touch-sensitive OLED bar that would essentially be introduced as a replacement for the existing function quick access keys. Those rumors don't show any sign of disappearing any time soon as they have now been joined by the suggestion that the Touch ID tech would be embedded into the machine's power button.
If you thought that China-based Xiaomi was only involved in the production of smartphones, then it's time to think again. The company has managed to surprise and shock attendees at its launch event for the Redmi Pro smartphone by introducing a product that is most definitely not a smartphone, but that most definitely takes a certain degree of inspiration from Apple's MacBook Air range. Step forward Xiaomi's first ever PC laptop, the Mi Notebook Air, which is not only stunning to look at, but also packs a lot of power into a relatively small and compact shell, and is being offered in two different sizes and internal specs.
Rumors of Apple's upcoming Macbook Pro refresh having an OLED touch panel have inspired the guys at CURVED to conceptualize Apple's Magic Keyboard with the same augmentation.
With the next gen. MacBook Pro more than likely to sport a dynamic OLED touch panel, here's how the feature might work and look like upon release.
Photos allegedly leaked by "one of Apple’s manufacturing partners in China," show a display-less chassis of the 2016 MacBook Pro with an empty strip at the top of the keyboard, corroborating earlier rumors of an integrated OLED touch panel.
ASUS has today used its Computex 2016 press conference in Taipei to introduce the ZenBook 3 notebook. The company's third-generation ZenBook notebook is not only designed to be ultraportable, but to also seemingly be a direct competitor to Apple's 12-inch Retina MacBook range given the fact that the two pieces of hardware have striking visual similarities. With that said, the newly announced ZenBook 3 is thinner, lighter and allegedly faster, meaning that it should instantly garner attention from those looking for a new portable notebook.
A recently granted patent by the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) has hinted that Cupertino-based Apple Inc. may be exploring bringing a cellular capable MacBook to the market in the future. Apple's current range of MacBook machines ship with an excellent array of features and native apps by default, which in turn offer an excellent set of functionality to users. However, in order to extend that functionality, whether it be installing additional apps, accessing content on the Internet, or streaming audio or video media, there's a requirement to be connected to the Internet either through a wireless or wired connection. This new patent introduces the idea of a new Apple MacBook which offers connectivity for a cellular network, similar to an iPhone or LTE-enabled iPad.
According to a new report, the 2016 MacBook Pro will feature Touch ID, and an OLED touch bar above the keyboard, amongst other design changes. Here are the details.
As part of this deal, you will get the 12-inch MacBook on sale in last year's configuration and a variety of colors, with a saving of just shy of $300 on Space Gray, Silver and Gold offerings.
Such is the power and strength of the Apple brand, that it's generally very rare for any retailer to slash the price of premium products by the company, like the latest retina MacBook Pro. From a consumer perspective, we're asked to pay more for a MacBook than we would for the majority of Windows-based laptops, but the flip side being that they retain their value extremely well, meaning that when it comes to resale, there is generally a fair bit of money to be recouped.
