Apple Premium Resellers in South Africa such as Digicape<\/a><\/strong> and iStore<\/a><\/strong> have started listing the new MacBook Pro on their websites.<\/p>\n

The new range of MacBook Pro laptop computers<\/strong><\/a> from Apple were unveiled at the end of October.<\/p>\n

Besides decreases in weight and thickness compared to its predecessor, the laptops feature an upgraded display, CPUs and GPUs, and SSD drives.<\/p>\n

A stand-out feature of the new MacBook Pro is the Touch Bar \u2013 a thin OLED screen which acts as a dynamic touch display, responsive to taps and presses.<\/p>\n

Apple also unveiled a new MacBook Pro 13-inch which does not have the Touch Bar \u2013 a model which is set to replace the MacBook Air.<\/p>\n

Retailers in South Africa are only listing the default configurations of the new MacBook Pro on their websites, priced as follows:<\/p>\n
