Apple would already be ready to renew the family of its flagship notebooks with the Intel Kaby Lake processor and with up to 32 GB of RAM
Apple is ready. By the end of the year, the Cupertino company will launch on the market a new model of MacBook Pro with inside the seventh-generation Intel processor presented during CES 2017 in Las Vegas. The rumors come from Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, usually very reliable about Apple’s moves.
It’s since the launch of the MacBook Pro last October 27 that many Mac users – especially those who use Apple products for work – have expressed discontent about the notebooks’ latest update with macOS Sierra. Other disappointment is directed at the MacBook Pro’s RAM memory – only 16GB instead of 32GB – and the lack of Kaby Lake processors, at a time when other PC manufacturers such as, say, HP, were already offering it as an option. One of the answers, suggested by Kuo, is that the iPhone brings more money into Apple’s coffers than Macs, to the point that Bloomberg even claims that the Cupertino company doesn’t even have a software team dedicated to Macs anymore.
More memory and power
Apple doesn’t, however, intend to abandon its users. KGI’s Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the first to receive an update will be the 12-inch MacBooks – launched in 2015 – with new Kaby Lake processors and up to 16GB RAM as early as early March. Production of the 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pros, on the other hand, is expected to begin in the third quarter and launch by the end of this year. And there will be, among the most anticipated new features, just the seventh generation of Intel’s Kaby Lake processors, while the only model enhanced with 32GB of RAM will be the 15-inch MacBook Pro. Apple may also decide, according to rumors, to discount the 13-inch version without Touch Bar.
