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.
I don't use Apple products on principle. You can ship me a pallet load of Apple products and I wont even cut the packing tape. They believe that a closed ecosystem is the best way to promote their products. I didn't get into computers to be told what I could or could not do with them. The whole point of a computer is to do what you want with it. Not what you want me to do with it. I will never change my mind about that. Ever.
