Lookup MacBook Pro MacBook Pro 15-inch

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016)

A touch of genius.

2016 marked a major update for the MacBook Pro. Firstly the system was entirely redesigned and there were little similarities to the 2015 system before it.  Controversially all ports including the MagSafe connector were removed leaving only USB-C / Thunderbolt 3 connections. The function keys were switched out with a Touch Bar which would change based on the application you were in. The keyboard mechanism was re-engineered to the “Butterfly” design which reduced the key travel and the trackpad was increase in size by 46%.
