Description


MacBook Pro
It's faster and more powerful than before, yet remarkably thinner and lighter. It has the brightest, most colourful Mac notebook display ever. And it introduces the Touch Bar -- a Multi-Touch-enabled strip of glass built into the keyboard for instant access to the tools you want, just when you want them. The new MacBook Pro is built on groundbreaking ideas. And it's ready for yours.

Touch Bar and Touch ID
A revolutionary new way to use your Mac.
The Touch Bar replaces the function keys that have long occupied the top of your keyboard with something much more versatile and capable.2 It changes automatically based on what you're doing to show you relevant tools you already know how to use -- system controls like volume and brightness, interactive ways to adjust or browse through content, intelligent typing features like emoji and predictive text, and more. And for the first time, Touch ID is available on a Mac, enabling instant access to logins and fast, secure online purchases with Apple Pay.

Performance
The ultimate tool of every trade.
The new MacBook Pro elevates the notebook to a whole new level of performance and portability. Wherever your ideas take you, you'll get there faster than ever with cutting-edge graphics, high-performance processors, state-of-the-art storage and more.

Retina Display
The brightest, most colourful Mac notebook display ever.
The new display in the MacBook Pro is the best ever in a Mac notebook. It features brighter LED backlighting and an increased contrast ratio, delivering deeper blacks and brighter whites. Its larger pixel aperture and variable refresh rate make it more power efficient than previous generations. And it's the first Mac notebook to support wide colour, for even more vibrant greens and reds. This ensures truer-to-life pictures with realistically vivid details, essential for graphic design, colour grading and editing.

Audio
Speakers that speak for themselves. Loudly.
The speakers have been totally redesigned to provide as much as twice the dynamic range and up to 58 per cent more volume, with two and a half times louder bass for maximum boom. And they're connected directly to system power, enabling up to three times more peak power. So they make MacBook Pro the perfect choice for mixing a track on the fly, editing video on location, or enjoying a film on the go.

Keyboard and Trackpad
More responsive keyboard. More expansive trackpad.
Interacting with the new MacBook Pro is a better experience all round. The keyboard has been redesigned to include our new, second-generation butterfly mechanism -- meticulously refined for greater comfort and responsiveness. And the Force Touch trackpad is significantly larger, giving your fingers more room to gesture and click.9

Thunderbolt 3
Our most powerful and versatile port ever.
Thunderbolt 3 combines ultra-high bandwidth with the ultra-versatility of the USB-C industry standard to create one revved-up universal port. It integrates data transfer, charging and video output in a single connector, delivering up to 40 Gbps of throughput for twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2. And both sizes of MacBook Pro are available with four ports, so you can do all that from either side. Existing devices are easily connected with a cable or adapter. And Thunderbolt 3 is reversible, so no matter how you plug in, it's always the right way up.

macOS
It's why there's nothing else like a Mac.
macOS is the operating system that powers every Mac. It's engineered to take full advantage of the hardware and designed to be as easy to use as it is beautiful to look at. macOS includes an amazing collection of apps you'll use -- and love -- every day. It also features iCloud and other innovative ways for your Mac, iOS devices and Apple Watch to work together.

 

  • It is a professional in every profession

    With the MacBook Pro, the notebook achieves excellent levels of power, lightness and practicality. Always ready to follow your ideas, it still makes them shine with cutting-edge graphics, high-performance processors, ultra-fast storage and more.
  • Touch Bar

    Touch Bar makes the keyboard much more versatile because it replaces function keys with commands that change automatically depending on what you do-working has never been easier. You don't even have to learn how to use it, because the functions you see on Touch Bar are the ones you already know. With a simple tap you can select shortcuts and text suggestions, scroll through a video in full screen mode, browse and edit your photos, and much, much more. Plus for the first time on the Mac you have Touch ID, which makes your life easier by turning your logins into an instant gesture.
  • Colors and brightness

    The LED backlighting is bright and the contrast high. With a larger pixel aperture and variable refresh rate, power efficiency is also improved. And not only that, MacBook Pro is the Mac notebook with expanded color gamut.
  • The bass is also top-notch

    The speakers are connected directly to the system power supply and in this way can achieve up to three times the peak power. With audio like this, MacBook Pro is the perfect choice for mixing tracks even when you're out and about, editing video right on the set, or watching movies like you're at the movies.
  • Precise keyboard

    Using the MacBook Pro will be a real pleasure. The keyboard has been redesigned with a butterfly mechanism, meticulously perfected to be more comfortable and precise.
  • Powerful and versatile of all ports

    Thunderbolt 3 technology combines incredible bandwidth with the versatility of the USB-C standard to give you a universal, all-powerful port. With just one connector you can charge your devices, transfer data and stream video, with speeds up to 40 Gbps. Both models of MacBook Pro with Touch Bar have four ports, two on each side, for the ultimate in convenience. Devices you already have connect easily via a cable or adapter.
  • Faster flash storage

    MacBook Pro has an even faster solid-state drive than the previous generation, with sequential read speeds of up to 3.1GBps.
  • Powerful processors that consume little power

    With powerful processors, the MacBook Pro delivers breathtaking performance when you throw yourself into demanding tasks like rendering 3D models and encoding video. But it also knows how to reduce power consumption when the work gets lighter, such as while you're browsing the web or checking mail.
  • It's very aware of drafts

    The thinner the notebook, the less room there is to cool it. So at every level of the system, MacBook Pro incorporates innovations that remove heat more efficiently than before, and increase air circulation when the workload gets heavier. You'll notice this right away if you edit a movie, play a video game with complex graphics, or transfer large files.
