Apple released in 2015 the revolutionary Retina MacBook hanging up the industry's appetite: other MacBook products when upgrading? Retina MacBook uses a new design, significant optimization of the internal hardware, as well as the strange position that is located in the middle of the Apple notebook product line, means Air and Pro models will be quite a lot of room to upgrade.
Skylake
Digital Trends says, one thing is certain, it's 2016 MacBook upgrades to Skylake chip. In fact, Apple recent product upgrades in time and released Skylake is fit, however, Skylake bounce makes the MacBook product line had to use a variety of older chips. Sweet Apple with a sweet kiss on the lips
MacBook Pro 13 to nearly 1 years ago and four core Broadwell chips, this is the latest chip in the MacBook line. Retina MacBook two duo m chip, they launch in late 2014. Irony is, 15-inch MacBook Pro configurations of the chip the most "old"--Haswell, third quarter launch date is 2014.
In addition to performance improvements, but Skylake more intelligent management of energy consumption, which helps keep the MacBook battery life to the next level. Skylake integrate more powerful nuclear support 4K resolution. By Haswell to upgrade to Skylake,15-inch MacBook Pro performance will be greatly improved.
Puget Sound Systems for each generation of chips in high-end desktop models are tested, found Skylake "increase running speed in 1-10%". It is better energy consumption, compared with the previous-generation chips has significantly reduced energy consumption, significantly lower core temperature.
Lighter than air
Despite some reports that Apple will launch a new dimension of Air, similar rumors last year "created" the Retina MacBook. Digital Trends that history will repeat itself.
While Apple intends to continue to provide an entry-level models, MacBook Air and MacBook lines are not so obvious. In addition, Apple has been promoting Retina MacBook, which makes Digital Trends may think Air series were replaced by it. MacBook Air series design has not been updated for a long time, and updated product Retina MacBook USB Type-C interface and configuration are very similar.
If Apple eliminated Air series, meaning that it may launch price of less than $ 1000 (about RMB 6552) products. Apple may also be reduced now $ 1300 (about 8517 Yuan) price the price of MacBook models. According to past practice, it will take more than new, low-price sales of older products.
More pixels, better
Digital Trends says, as a way to simplify the addition of notebook product line, may be universal across the entire product line of Apple retina display. More and more notebook screen full HD upgrade to a higher resolution, configure the retina display, Retina MacBook and MacBook Pro screen pixel density is not the highest. At least for the Pro models, upgrade to the HD retina, smaller device consists of more than more than 200 PPI pixel densities up to about 300PPI is not unthinkable.
So far only a few notebooks configured with OLED display, so Apple OLED screen laptop caused a stir in the industry. This is Apple provides new technologies, an opportunity to have specific implications for everyday computing tasks. High cost of OLED screens, so it could be an optional configuration or application on 1 or 2 models of laptops.
New design could lead to fewer USB interface
Digital Trends says frankly, Apple the redesign "aged" of the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Apple or a few years ago to redesign them, during which variety of Apple product design, from the iPhone to the iMac or updates.
In addition, Apple may introduce USB Type-C interface in the entire notebook line. Only with a USB Type-C interface MacBook compared with all other notebooks seems incongruous, especially considering the MacBook Pro on media content creation and editing areas of popularity, such users often require common interfaces to improve office efficiency.
Traditional USB interface will become a choke point, there are a large number of spare parts for Type-C interface available, or before the adapter is more likely to buy, Type-C on an interface do not appear in the MacBook Pro.
Release time
Last year, Apple's new product launch in March published on the Retina MacBook, therefore, it is likely to take place around March this year new products launch Upgrade Mac, and soon after went on sale. Upgrade Mac release date may also be postponed to June's Worldwide Developers Conference.
More important than the release date is the price. A big question is how Apple plans to give entry level pricing. Air "days" seem to have curvature means few, but it is Apple's best-selling notebooks. If the Air is eliminated, Apple may have to downgrade Retina MacBook price.
