Industry experts speculate that latest brand of MacBook Pros will be stronger machines and better than their 2016 variants, launched only few months ago.
According to expert analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple's upcoming 15-inch MacBook Pro will have a 32 GB RAM and will be built with Intel's 7th gen chipset Kaby Lake under the hood. Kuo also mentioned in his detailed notes, obtained by AppleInsider, that 2017 MacBook Pro may well be an all new version of their previous notebook.
When Apple launched its much awaited 2016 MacBook Pro, its fans were visibly disappointed by obsolete specs packaged in a new design. However, the tech giant has decided to silence all these issues by releasing an upgraded version of their 2016 models, that Kuo calls to be Apple's "most significantly redesigned product this year."
Apple will also give its 12-inch MacBook models a RAM upgrade as their current variants are restricted to 8GB. The new ones are speculated to carry 16GB RAM, giving a performance boost to the erstwhile 12-inch MacBook. The Cupertino-based tech giant is expected to go into mass production of these models in July, added Kuo in his notes.
It comes as no surprise that Apple has decided to integrate Kaby Lake processor into their new MacBook. With the powerful Intel processor, the new MacBook will not only have plenty of benefits but will also be considerably efficient. As far as the design is concerned, the new laptops will likely follow the same style.
Meanwhile, the new 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro, that was initially offered at $1,499, is now being sold at a slashed price of $1,274.99, offering a $225 discount. While the new model does not come with Touch Bar technology, it does offer Retina Display, 2GHz SkyLake i5 processor, 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD. It also comes with two Thunderbolt 3 ports as well as a headphone jack.
According to Forbes, the 2017 MacBook Pro will likely launch in November as the production is slated to start in Q3. There is also speculation that MacBook Air will finally be terminated and will be fully replaced by a cheaper MacBook Pro variant.
