it weighs just three pounds almost a half a pound less than the previous version here's the new 15-inch pro next to it fifteen point five millimeters thin that's fourteen percent thinner and it is smaller as well twenty percent smaller in volume than the previous one one-fifth less and it weighs just four pounds again a half a pound less everything is all-new there's a new trackpad a force touch trackpad it is twice as big as the trackpad in the previous generation a lot more room for your gestures now this is only possible because of the force touch technology in order to have a great quick feel it was a mechanical click mechanism it would not be possible it's just really state-of-the-art and the best trackpad we've ever made the keyboard is all new as well it uses the butterfly switch mechanism that we pioneered in our 12 inch MacBook but now we've applied it to a professional notebook and in this case is a new switch mechanism a second-generation butterfly it's more responsive and gives an even greater sense of keyboard travel as you press on it you're probably looking at that area just above it it replaces the standard system functions were used to so if you want to set the brightness or the volume it's easier than ever before with just a slide or tap the touch bar adapts to whatever software you're using we're in Safari and now the touch bar is showing us buttons for our favorite websites the touch bar can show you quick type suggestions you can just tap on and type even faster well next to touch bar is another technology touch ID we're bringing touch ID to the Mac for the very first time it's supported by a second-generation touch ID sensor so it's really fast and it's supported by a brand new chip the Apple T chip the display in the new MacBook Pro is simply the best display we've ever made on a Mac as a 67% greater contrast ratio it displays wide color with a 25% greater color gamut all this in a display that consumes less power and is as thin as a 12-inch MacBook display inside every 15-inch MacBook Pro is an Intel Core i7 6 generation quad-core chip it's paired with faster 21 33 megahertz memory it has faster graphics as well Radeon pro graphics this is the AMD Polaris architecture up to four gigs of video memory and it delivers graphics power that's now 2.3 times faster than the previous generation 15-inch MacBook Pro and a storage is faster too now up to 3.1 gigabyte per second you can figure it with twice as much up to 2 terabytes and it's 50% faster as well now all this performance a faster CPU faster graphics faster memory faster storage in a device that's thinner took creating in a whole new thermal architecture now let's look at the 13-inch MacBook Pro can be configured with dual core 6 generation Intel i5 or i7 chips as faster Intel iris graphics and it also has the faster flash storage in this case that now delivers twice the storage performance of the previous 13-inch MacBook Pro the system's much faster and so is the i/o it is the fastest most versatile IO we've ever built into a macbook pro both the 13 and the 15-inch have 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports dr. Bober is an incredible 40 gigabit per second of bandwidth this also supports USB 3.1 gen2 and of course DisplayPort 1.2 any one of the 4 ports can be a charging port plug it in to whichever one you want left side right side and that's your charging port and the hardware and software working together in these super thin and light notebooks deliver all-day battery life up to 10 hours of battery life in both the 13 inch and the 15 inch now we do have other customers who choose other products in our line like MacBook Air and they choose them for how thin and light they are and we're going to continue to offer a MacBook Air in a 13-inch in our line but we challenged our team to take this new design this 13-inch MacBook Pro and could they make a model that would be really exciting for customers who would traditionally pick a MacBook Air so we're making a model of the 13-inch MacBook Pro with traditional function keys and two Thunderbolt ports and we think that a lot of potential MacBook Air customers are going to be very excited about this product - so how does it stack up remember we told you the MacBook Pro is fourteen point nine millimeters that is thinner than the MacBook Air the MacBook Pro is smaller but better in every way the pricing for these three configs are $14.99 $17.99 and $23.99 the macbook pro authorities start shipping today the two models with touch bar and touch ID start shipping in two to three weeks but of course you can get in your order today the new MacBook Pro lineup are the best notebooks we have ever made and they're the most advanced notebooks ever made who worked so incredibly hard on creating these products and building them thank you
