Display

A similar display for both 13- and 16-inches pro models with:

• 500 nits of brightness

True tone uses a multi-channel ambient light sensor which is included in the Mac Book model. True tone determines both the brightness and the colour temperature of the room. It will adjust both the white balance and the colour intensity of the display to match the room lighting. This will produce a more natural paper-like viewing experience that also reduces eyes’ strained.

• 3072 by 1920 native resolution at 226 pixels per inch.
• The display is 2560 by 1600 resolution at 227 pixels per inch.

Keyboards

It offers the best typing experience, according to Apple. The scissor mechanism offers the magic keyboard 1mm of key travel and a stable key feel and an Apple – crafted rubber dome, which is designed to retain more potential energy for a better responsive key press.

Apple proclaims the Magic keyboard delivers a more productive, comfortable, easy typing experience. It is like other keyboards, but comes with a physical escape instead of a virtual key on the touch bar. The touch ID button is a separate button too.

Arrow keys were also designed with the inverted “T” for the arrow keys. This is a new thing compared to the new design. The Touch Bar is also a bit further away from the keys on the keyboard.

Processor

• An Intel’s quad core 8^th Generation core i5 chips
• Quad core 1.4 GHz core 8^th Generation Intel processor
• Intel processor with turbo boost of up to 3.9GHz
• An upgrade to 1.7GHz quad core i7 chip is optional

Trackpad

It has a large force touch trackpad that takes up almost all the bottom part of the device. It has no traditional buttons, but it is powered by a set of sensors that allows users to press anywhere on the trackpad for the same response.

While the trackpad is being used and engine powered by magnets provides users with tactile feedback, thereby replacing the feel of a physical button press. The force touch trackpad is compatible with a light press which is used as a regular click plus a deeper press of forced click as a separate gesture that does things such as a definition for a highlighted word.

Touch Bar

A small OLED retina multi touch display built into the keyboard where the function keys are, the touch bar is contextual and performs a huge range of functions. The range of functions depends on the apps that are in use and it is now available across the Apple Mac Book Pro models.

The touch bar can be described as a matte style display that blends with the rest of the keys on the keyboard. You interact with the touch bar through.

• Taps
• Swipes
• Multi touch gestures

The touch ID fingerprint sensor works in the same way as the Touch ID home button on older iPhone models. Touch ID is used for password, unlocking the Mac when you place a finger on the sensor. It replaces password protected apps and can also be used to make Apple purchases in safari.

Speakers

The speakers were designed with force cancelling woofers with dual opposed speakers drives which cuts down on unwanted vibrations. This is the reason the speakers come out with a clearer and natural bass with an octave deeper.
