we've got a new twist on a familiar face I'm dan Aykroyd and this is Apple's 2015 version of the popular 13-inch MacBook Pro like the previous couple of additions of this particular laptop it's got apples retina style display which is a better than 1080p display obviously the pro line is thicker and heavier than the macbook air line but again it has a higher resolution display has some other higher and options this guy has been updated for this year with Intel's new 5th generation of core i series chips otherwise known by the codename broadwell you've also got a faster flash memory trip kind of the SSD than you have in last year's model I'm the other big change here is that this is the first laptop to actually feature Apple's new force touch trackpad you're going to see that as a key selling point on the upcoming 12-inch MacBook that very thin very light system that should be coming out soon from Apple but the first place you can get that is actually this single 13-inch macbook pro model we've played around with it it's actually a lot of fun you click down on the touchpad you feel like it's depressing and clicking you press down harder and get a second click like kind of a step click but it's not actually going up and down it's all a little bit of haptic force feedback that tricks your finger into thinking you're actually pressing on the button not not a particular use in a thicker laptop like this but in something that's very thin where they can eliminate the need for the touchpad to go up and down potentially very useful one thing you can do here is you do that second deeper click on let's say a word on a web page and you can get some contextual information about it whether it's a definition or Wikipedia entry or a map connected to an address so there's a lot of fun things you can do with that it's kind of like an enhanced right click other than that this macbook pro looks and feels a lot like the previous couple of versions one nice benefit from having those broadwell chips we got an extra hour to of battery life out of it this guy on our video test ran for about 15 hours which is great and of course it starts at the same 1299 as the previous versions i'm dan ackerman and that is Apple's 2015 13 inch macbook pro you
