MacBook Pro 2017 Release Date, Specs and Features: New Laptops Launched During WWDC Come With Newest Intel CPU
Apple has just announced the new MacBook Pro during their Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) event, which started June 5, and the new laptop now boasts the latest Intel Kaby Lake processors, an upgrade from the Skylake chips of the older model.
This refresh came sooner than expected when the new MacBook Pro 2017 model was announced in WWDC just a bit over a month ago. The reveal came merely eight months after the release of the 2016 MacBook Pro with the new Touch Bar in October last year.
The new MacBook improves on the older model, swapping out the sixth generation Intel Skylake processor for the newest, seventh generation Kaby Lake chips. The update bumps the 15-inch MacBook Pro up by 300 MHz and up to 4.1 GHz with turbo, according to CNET.
The quick update to the MacBook Pro line also brought in pricing changes. Compared to the MacBook Pro 2016 13-inch model, which started out at $1,499, the 2017 update is available at just $1,299, as noted by Macworld.
