This October, Apple further fortifies its status as the leading brand of laptops with the release of three new MacBook models. The two 13-inch and one 15-inch frames present a much better enhancement from display features to processor efficiency.
Technology domains anticipate that these MacBook variations will have a fingerprint reader and high-speed USB ports. The notebooks have also evolved as the head phone jack had been ditched.
Although the Cupertino-based tech company has managed to improve various elements of their devices, it is likely that a huge upgrade will happen in 2018. The focal point will probably be made on one crucial aspect which is processor performance.
Apple has solidified its latest offerings with systems improvements. From the Broadwell architecture with vanilla HD graphics, the 13-inch MacBook Pro is now powered by Intel's Iris GPU-laden Skylake processors.
On the other hand, the 15-inch computer unit gets updated from its Haswell design to the contemporary Skylake architecture.
As more and more improvements get integrated into Apple's products over the years, one factor has been a fixture all throughout. The steady presence on the board is the processor core count.
Dual core is handling the 13-inch MacBook item while quad core processors are managing the 15-inch Pro's functions. Although these flagships are considered to be among the fastest notebook machines of the current generation, the bar will be set higher by Intel in 2018.
Codenamed Coffee Lake, the next generation processor is due to fascinate both users and enthusiasts. Insider information reveals that Intel's new chip will provide the 13-inch MacBook with a 28-watt quad core variant which will be matched with the Iris GPU technology.
The 15-inch model will have six 45-watt processors which will be paired with HD graphics.
Additional cores will mean enhanced performance especially in the utilization of applications including video editing.
Although Apple gets its market boost from the iPhone series, it is equally significant to improve the MacBook lineup just in case the top products suffer setbacks along the way. For instance, the Mac has delivered a 12 percent revenue which somewhat cushioned the low iPhone sales for 2016.
