It looks like Apple has a couple of new products coming this year. The first of these will be a new 2019 MacBook Pro that will come with a new design and new features.
The news of the new MacBook Pro comes from respected Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has revealed that there is a new MacBook on the way with a 16-inch or 16.5-inch display. This larger display size is expected to cater to professionals who require more screen real estate for tasks such as video editing, graphic design, and software development.
Design and Features
The device will come with an ‘all new’ design, although there are no details on exactly what design changes the updated MacBook will come with. Speculation suggests that Apple might introduce thinner bezels, a more robust keyboard mechanism, and possibly a new material for the chassis to enhance durability and reduce weight. Additionally, there could be improvements in the thermal management system to better handle the heat generated by high-performance components.
It was previously thought that we would not be seeing a new design for the MacBook Pro until next year, so it looks like the changes may come a year earlier than originally thought. This accelerated timeline could be a response to increasing competition in the high-end laptop market, where other manufacturers are also pushing the envelope in terms of design and performance.
Performance and Specifications
There are two different versions of the MacBook Pro at the moment: a 13-inch model and a 15-inch model that comes with Apple’s Touch Bar built in. We presume that the new model will also come with the Touch Bar, which has been a distinctive feature of the MacBook Pro lineup since its introduction. The Touch Bar offers dynamic controls that change based on the application being used, providing quick access to functions and shortcuts.
The existing MacBook Pro models come with up to 16GB of RAM. Ming-Chi Kuo has suggested that the new models will come with up to 32GB of RAM. This increase in memory capacity will be particularly beneficial for power users who run multiple applications simultaneously or work with large datasets. It will also enhance the performance of virtual machines and other memory-intensive tasks.
In addition to increased RAM, the new MacBook Pro is expected to feature the latest Intel processors, which will offer improved performance and energy efficiency. There are also rumors that Apple might include a dedicated graphics card option for the 16-inch model, making it a more viable option for gaming and professional graphics work.
Another anticipated feature is the inclusion of more Thunderbolt 3 ports, which provide high-speed data transfer and versatile connectivity options. This will be particularly useful for users who need to connect multiple peripherals, such as external monitors, storage devices, and docking stations.
