The best macbook ‘bar’ none.
Well hello, Brexit. When Apple launched a new MacBook Pro line-up at its special event on 27 October, one of the biggest talking points was the large price hike that came attached. If you want to buy a new Mac – of any kind – it’ll cost you significantly more now. Ouch!
So what did Apple announce to justify this brave new world of higher prices? The most interesting thing was undoubtedly the new
MacBook Pro. As with all Apple product launches these days, pretty much everything was leaked before the event (and uncannily predicted by us in MF302), but the new features did not disappoint.
Most eye-catching is the new Touch Bar that replaces the function keys at the top of the keyboard with app-specific controls relevant to what you’re doing at the time. So in iTunes, you might have buttons to skip through a track or toggle shuffle. In Mail, you can flag a message, send it to a specific folder and more.
