If reports are anything to go by, the MacBook Pro 2016 will include a lighter and slimmer form factor, an OLED display touch bar and Touch ID.
The upcoming Apple device will come in 15- and 13-inch variations and arrive in June 2016. According to reports, forthcoming MacBook Pro will not have any fan noise.
Users who like to speak through podcasts or take videos can now do these without considering the background noise coming from the fan. Furthermore, the forthcoming notebook is expected to have a single USB-C port.
Several reports indicate that the tech giant Apple will implement an external battery that will make the MacBook Pro 2016 last longer.
Rumors are doing the rounds that the 2016 MacBook Pro will have powerful speakers.
Siri, a personal assistant, has been a useful tool for several users of iPhone. Siri can send a message, make a reservation, get directions, create calendar entry and look up information. However, at present, Siri is exclusive to iPhone only.
However, according to a report from Macworld UK, the personal assistant may be available on the upcoming line of MacBook laptops.
The new MacBook Pro will be the first laptop to get Siri support. According to recent reports, integration of Siri into Mac is in its initial stages. However, the personal assistant will be able to answer same queries and do same tasks, the way Siri does for iOS devices.
Owners will be able to ask Siri to set calendar events, read emails, send texts, conduct web search and open apps.
According to a report by MacRumors, the 2016 MacBook Pro will be powered by Intel Skylake processor. With this processor, the new MacBook Pro will boast enhanced performance and greater power. In addition, the device will be lag-free and faster. Battery life will also last longer because the Skylake operates with minimal power.
According to many reports, the upcoming Apple laptop will come with the improved butterfly key mechanism. Also, it will have bigger keys for more comfortable and efficient typing.
Meanwhile, rumor has it that the upcoming MacBook Air will also be launched in June this year.
