![]() With everything being more efficient - from the RAM and flash storage, to those latest processors - comes improved battery life. However, there's no USB Type-C - which is perhaps a strange move considering Apple is trying to push the standard. If the new ultra-slim 12-inch MacBook is about showing you how few ports you need (it only has one USB Type-C after all), the MacBook Pro is all about how many you can still get into a small laptop. On the left side is the MagSafe power, two Thunderbolt 2 ports, a USB 3.0 and a 3.5mm headphones jack while the right side bares a further USB 3.0 socket, an HDMI port, and SD card slot. ![]() In addition to the new trackpad, the 2015 MacBook Pro also benefits from new ports and more powerful innards. As an advancement of technology, it's hugely powerful, and despite feeling bizarre at first use, it becomes second nature. You can expect a plethora of new apps that will allow you to, for example, draw straight into an app using a finger or stylus, and because nothing physically moves that will be much easier - especially when it comes to selecting or clicking.Īpple's trackpad has always been not only state of the art, but industry-leading in terms of responsiveness, and the Force Touch trackpad catapults its credentials further. But that's all in your head: it doesn't move at all.Īpple has also confirmed that the mechanics behind the Force Touch trackpad will be available to app developers. For this "deeper" trackpad press you'll swear that not only is the trackpad moving, but that you are pressing it down into a second deeper level. It means that no matter where you press on the trackpad your touch is registered, which helps move you away from the typically lower-area pressing you're most likely used to.Įven more surreal is that when you press physically harder, there's a second response for additional control possibilities, called Force Click. Rather than physically move like a traditional trackpad depresses, Apple has used haptic motors - or "taptic technology" as the company likes to call it - to softly vibrate the trackpad when you press it, rather than the trackpad moving at all. One of the biggest lures of the new 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is the introduction of the Force Touch trackpad. Because it has, and with some very cool tech. ![]() Nothing has changed in looks since the introduction of the slimmed-down Pro design in 2013, with the 2015 model comprising a single aluminium shell complete with a chiclet keyboard and large glass trackpad, with the crisp and glossy Retina display mounted in black bezel above.īut that's not to say the feature set hasn't progressed. There's still no discrete graphics, and there's no leap forward in design terms compared to the last generation, but that doesn't hold it back from being one good looking and powerful laptop.ĭoes this mean it's the MacBook to own now it sets a wider gap between the MacBook Air, or is there a better choice elsewhere in the market? We've been getting to grips with the 2015 MacBook Pro to see how it fits into our workflow. ![]() While the MacBook Pro range is available in a 15-inch variant, the updated model is only available in its 13-inch form with Retina display. ![]()
