Most avid MacBook users are still waiting for Apple's official announcement regarding the specifications and release date of the much-anticipated MacBook Pro Retina 2016, and many are anticipating that it would be one of the most advanced and high-end laptops scheduled to be released in the market this year; however, most information tidbits are only based on speculations.
According to Ecumenical News, many are already anticipating advanced new features of the MacBook Pro Retina 2016, as all the MacBook fans and tech commentators are looking forward to the official announcement from Apple about the specs that could outdo other MacBooks that are currently sold in the market.
Several upgrades and aesthetic improvements for the MacBook Pro 2016 have been promised, such as better screen resolution. This would be beneficial for video editors and graphic designers, providing them clearer images and wider viewing angle. In addition, display accuracy is also expected to be significantly improved in the upcoming MacBook Pro Retina 2016.
Fans are also expecting improved battery life, not because of a new battery technology, but because of the overall improved efficiency in energy consumption. While the MacBook Pro Retina 2016's Skylake processor will allow optimal performance of the applications, the new laptop is also reported to have a smaller battery and will have up to 10 hours of power if fully charged.
According to News Every Day, the new Skylake processor in MacBook Pro Retina is 30 times faster than the earlier MacBook models. The processing speed for the graphic interface is also 80 percent faster with the Intel 500 graphic chips. Assuming the consumers could now expect at least 2.5 times more processing speed from the new MacBook compared to the older models.
A Touch ID feature is also reported to be included in the MacBook Pro Retina 2016, which is a biometric system that can recognize fingerprints. Although similar system is present in other Apple devices such as the iPhone 5s and iPad mini 3, this would be the first time that this system is included as an additional security feature in a laptop. This feature will also virtually eliminate the risk of identity theft and unauthorized use of the device.
Lastly, the aesthetic features of the new MacBook will definitely be something to be excited about, as it is expected to have a sleeker and more compact design.
