Apple To Launch Thinner, Lighter MacBook Pro Models With OLED Touch Bar, Touch ID In Fall (9to5mac.com)
Apple plans to refresh its MacBook Pro line later this year. The makeover will see both 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro models replace their function keys atop laptop keyboards with an OLED touch bar, according to a report. Both the models will also have Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and will support Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port, multiple outlets are reporting citing ever-so-reliable KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The refreshed MacBook Pro model will be thinner and lighter as well. There's no word on if -- and when -- the MacBook Air lineup will receive a refresh.
And who said innovation was dead? OLED touch bars are what I want!
I think Apple is inexorably moving toward products so thin that they can not be seen or used at all. This will be considered the height of elegance. Hipsters and women who don't shave their armpits will line up to buy them.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Same here. You can take my 17 inch MBP away from my cold, dead hands. And, at the rate that it is chugging along with the rate that I'm falling apart, that might well happen......
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!

Well, I could try, but I probably wouldn't get far before calling a taxi.
