Though the event was very brief on how Apple was able to shave off so much volume compared to the last generation, it sounds like theyвЂ™ve gone with a thinner cooling system, and in the case of the 15вЂќ model, AMDвЂ™s low-profile Polaris 11 GPU. Altogether, the total volume is down 23% for the 13вЂќ model and 20% for the 15вЂќ model.ДЄpple is still using their now tried-and-true aluminum unibody design for the family, so if youвЂ™re familiar with the current color-coated MacBook, then you know what to expect here. The new family of laptops is thinner than ever, with Apple taking them from 18mm to 14.9mm and 15.5mm for the 13вЂќ and 15вЂќ models respectively. If youвЂ™ve been watching Apple over the years, then you know that the company has a (sometimes unhealthy) obsession with reducing their productsвЂ™ thickness, and the 4 th gen MacBook Pro follows that obsession to a T. Intel HD Graphics 530 + AMD Radeon Pro 450 (2GB)Дўx Thunderbolt 2 (supports DP1.2), 1x HDMI 1.4, 2x USB 3.0 (Type-A), 3.5mm Audio, SDXC SlotДўx Thunderbolt 3 (supports DP1.2 & USB 3.1 Gen 2 modes),Д¤x Thunderbolt 3 (supports DP1.2 & USB 3.1 Gen 2 modes), What separates the basic 13вЂќ from the other two models, besides cost, is that it doesnвЂ™t include AppleвЂ™s new multi-touch Touch Bar (more on this in a sec). All of them get the same new unibody design, the same wide color gamut (P3) display, and the same upgraded internal hardware composed of IntelвЂ™s 6 th generation Skylake CPUs, Thunderbolt 3, and new SSDs. All three models are form the same mold, so to speak. But make no mistake, Apple has been busy on giving their languishing laptops a much-needed facelift.ДЄll-told, Apple has introduced 3 new MacBook Pro models: a basic 13вЂќ version, and then two full-featured versions at 13вЂќ and 15вЂќ respectively. And at a special event held at their campus this morning, they have done just that, launching the 4 th generation of the MacBook Pro.ДЇor better or worse the new 4 th generation family doesnвЂ™t have a catchy name like Retina to help set it apart from the prior models.

As a result, Apple has been due as anyone can be to update their laptops. Only the smaller 13вЂќ model ever got IntelвЂ™s 5 th gen Broadwell CPU вЂ“ the 15вЂќ model is even further back, on 4 th gen Haswell вЂ“ and otherwise the laptops havenвЂ™t had major feature updates since 2013.

In short, Apple hasnвЂ™t given its professional laptop lineup a real overhaul in some time. Much ink has been spilt over the last year on the subject of the MacBook Pro.
