But before we can talk about that, we need to talk about all the other changes to the MacBook Pro. I did see it do much more than the old function key row ever did, instantly transforming itself to fit to the task at hand. 'That alone replaces everything that the function keys were ever being used for anymore, but it does so much more.' 'It provides all your system functions,' he said. So, for example, you can adjust the brightness or the volume just by touching the bar. 'But in a much more attractive, better, adaptable way.' 'It provides all your system functions that you're used to up there,' said Schiller, pointing to the Touch Bar.

This is Apple's answer to the touch screens found on most Windows laptops. Just 60 pixels high (and 2,170 pixels wide), the Touch Bar could be a tool with the potential to be the Swiss Army Knife of laptop input, changing itself on the fly to work across different apps, imitating a series of touch buttons, control sliders, and even jog dials. Apple calls it the Touch Bar, and it's worth all the hubbub. The long-rumored 'Magic Toolbar,' an OLED-display strip for context-sensitive touch commands, is real. What we've got now is two new 13-inch MacBook Pro models and one new 15-inch model, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, Phil Schiller, and senior vice president of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, walked me through the laptops' striking evolution. They were after a 'big, big step forward.' Apple's marketing chief Phil Schiller and senior engineering lead Craig Federighi said the wait had to do with making sure this revamp wasn't just a 'speed bump' with faster chips and memory.

Apple's last major update to the MacBook Pro, it's priciest and most powerful computers, was back in 2014. While Apple kept the MacBook Pro name it's used since 2006, nearly everything about the new generation of the high end notebook has changed.Īnd that's a good thing. The sheer number of big-picture changes to the iconic laptop line made my head spin during an exclusive hands-on preview of Apple's new MacBook Pro laptops at the company's Cupertino, California headquarters earlier this week. AppleĪpple really did think different about its new laptops.
