There is no doubt that Apple can make some very good gadgets for the mobile marketplace and when it comes to computers in general, the Macbook Pro is one of the best. First released back in 2006, the Apple MacBook Pro has been on the top of the wishlists for many consumers around the world. Barely weighing anything and coming some of the most powerful computing power, the laptop is one of the best even ten years later.
The brand new 2016 Apple Macbook Pro is about to be released and that is leaving the door open for major discounts on older models. As usual, Apple has not confirmed the exact day that you will be able to buy the laptop, but consumers know that it is coming and they are ready for the pre-order process. One of the best things about Apple releasing a new model of anything they make is the older models will get a price cut.
Most consumers understand what they are paying for when it comes to an Apple product, but there are just as many that look at the two-thousand dollar price tag for a laptop and walk the other way. As of this week, the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro is being marked down to just $1,950 for the 512GB model. That is a huge savings of $500 based on the selling price last year. As expected, that price included free shipping on various websites around the internet.
The 2015 MacBook Pro has some very nice features and they include Force Touch trackpad, 512GB of storage, AMD Radeon R9 graphics card and a quad core processor that is clocked at 2.5GHz. One thing that Apple has always done very well with was the battery life of the MacBook. According to reports, the model from last year also comes with a battery that can reportedly last up to 9 hours. Now that consumers know they can get the older model for less, all that is left is to talk about the brand new model coming out soon.
The 2016 Apple Macbook Pro is expected to be lighter, thinner and have improved hardware on the inside of the unit. That is expected based on the history of Apple products. What hardware will be included exactly has not been confirmed at this point. There are many websites reporting what they think the new laptop will come with and that includes the brand new USB Type-C connection option, an improved Force Touch track pad and better security. All of those things have been on the minds of those that have owned previous models of the laptop. Besides what hardware and software improvements are going to come, consumers are asking about the MacBook Air.
