MacBook Pro now in SA iStore

iStore has announced that the new MacBook Pro is now available in its outlets. The MacBook Pro 13 inch is available for in-store preview and purchase, while the MacBook Pro 15 inch will be available soon. 

The new MacBook Pro is faster and more powerful than before, but thinner and lighter. It also introduces the controversial Touch Bar — a Multi-Touch enabled strip of glass built into the keyboard for instant access to the tools Apple believes users want most often. It is available in the new space grey and silver.

The Touch Bar replaces the function keys that have long occupied the top of the keyboard with something Apple argues is more versatile and capable.

It changes automatically based on what the user is doing to show relevant tools such as system controls like volume and brightness, interactive ways to adjust or browse through content, and intelligent typing features like emoji and predictive text.

For the first time, Touch ID is available on a Mac, enabling instant access to logins.

Key features, as supplied by Apple, include:

•    2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor

•    Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz

•    8GB of 2133MHz memory

•    Intel Iris Graphics 550

•    Force Touch trackpad

•    Four Thunderbolt 3 ports

•    Force Touch trackpad

•    Up to 10 hours of battery life

•    Incredibly thin (1.49cm)
