The MacBook Pro comes in two sizes: 13 and 15-inch variants with the touch display strip that offers controls and shortcuts with just the use of your fingertips.

The Touch Bar is placed above the keyboard and automatically displays the most relevant controls. With just one hand on the Touch Bar and another one on the track pad, users can work around Photoshop smoothly. It is a completely new experience.

The MacPros are also the first devices to sport the Touch ID feature that lets the user quickly switch between accounts. The security feature is in the power button as well, allowing laptop unlock and purchases via Apple Pay. It comes with a larger trackpad with a more responsive keyboard and Force Touch.

The MacBook Pro features the Radeon Pro 14nm GPU which makes 3D graphics 130 percent better, gaming 60 percent better and video editing 57 better than its predecessor. It has an all-metal aluminum body which is powered by an Intel Core i5 / i7 dual-core processor, 8 GB of memory and 256 GB of storage. The 13-inch MacBook Pro is priced at $1,799 USD while the 15-inch variant costs $2,399 USD. The device is currently available for preorder and shipment is expected to start in two to three weeks.
