More on Apple's event • • • Simply put, the people who helped popularize the touchscreen don't think it's how you should interact with a laptop. Instead, they came up with something Apple calls a Touch Bar -- a multitouch display built into the top row of the MacBook Pro's keyboard. It lights up with a menu of buttons, control sliders, dials and tools, which change with the app you're using. Taking the place of function keys, the Touch Bar brings up autofill choices as you type and lets you scroll through photos or jump to your favorite websites in Safari. 'What we wanted to do was bring all this advanced technology of multitouch and Retina displays down to where your hands can take advantage of them on a laptop,' Schiller says. 'As far as our eye can see, there will still be a place for this basic laptop architecture.'

Can't touch this Four years ago, Microsoft's Windows 8 software enabled PC makers to build computers with touchscreens. Since then, Asus, Dell, HP and others have released all-in-one devices, like Apple's iMac but with a touchscreen. They also offer laptops that convert to tablets when you twist or snap off the keyboard. The MacBook Pro comes in a thinner and lighter package, and packs in faster processors and a Touch Bar strip. James Martin/CNET With last year's release of Windows 10, touchscreen hybrids have become mainstream. But that hasn't stopped PC shipments from declining for eight straight quarters, 'the longest duration of decline in the history of the PC industry,' according to research firm.

Is the processor upgrade worth it? Discussion in 'iMac' started by westy78, Jun 13, 2017. Is the processor upgrade for mac worth it 2016. In March 2015, Apple updated the 13' MacBook Pro with 'Broadwell' CPUs, a moderate upgrade over the 'Haswell' CPUs used in both 13' and 15' MacBook Pros since 2013. But Intel was late delivering quad-core Broadwell CPUs, so the 15' model has soldiered on with the same quad-core Haswell CPU for two years. Welcome to my second Review of the Apple Mac Pro with Quad Core Intel XEON E5 processor. After using the Mac Pro for over 2 years it is now time again to take a look at how the machine handled 4K. The higher CPU base clock in the M7 helps for things like that, where you need a sustained workload over many seconds/minutes. But even if the GPU could contribute in those tasks, it wouldn't help much because the base clock for the iGPU is the same for all of them (300Mhz).

That's in part because people are choosing mobile devices, like phones, over computers. 'The push for mobility is hurting PC sales,' Gartner analyst Brian Blau says. 'We've seen that quarter after quarter.' Microsoft claims its $899 tablet with a detachable keyboard and stylus and its $1,499 have lured users away from the Mac.
