Both of these laptops are expected to sport a similar design to that of the MacBook Pro 2015, with very few minor changes here and there.

These processors will be the new sixth generation chip set from Intel and none of Apple's MacBook's offer the Skylake processors, till now.

The upcoming models of MacBook Pro 2016 will also be much thinner, and less prone to getting heated up. These models will also be equipped with the Retina display along with Force Touchpad Trackpad, a dual band a/c Wi-Fi, and a PCIe flash storage, according to Mac World.
