Attention: Here's Everything You Need To Know About The New Apple MacBook Pro

Apple has finally revealed their new MacBook Pro and it has some pretty funky features.
First thing's first, the new model comes in two sizes; you'll be able to pick it up as a 13 inch or 15 inch.
Both are super lightweight, the 13 inch coming in at 1.37kg and the latter, 1.8kg. That's like, only a bit more than a standard bag of sugar - sweet! (Excuse the bad pun.)
Aesthetically speaking the new MacBook Pro is the brightest and most colourful of its kind. Making an equally as impressive statement are the inbuilt speakers, which Apple have improved drastically.
Arguably the most exciting part of the new MacBook is (drum roll please)... The "Touch Bar".
It's basically a touch-sensitive display which fits across the top of the laptop in replacement of the function keys. What appears on the Touch Bar depends on what app you're using at the time. For instance, say you've got Mail running, the Touch Bar will light up with an icons like: reply, reply all, compose etc.
There's a catch though: For some odd reason, there's no way to directly connect the new iPhone 7?
For all you iPhone 7 owners, you'll need to buy an additional converter cable.
If that doesn't bother you and you're thinking, "sign me up, take my money, how do I get my hands on this?" here's what you need to know.
Lifehacker reports the base level 13 inch MacBook Pro will set you back $AU2199 (not including the Touch Bar), while the 256GB storage version starts from $AU2699. You can tailor the specs, to an extent, which will alter the cost.
If you're pining for the 15 inch, you're looking at $AU3599 for the 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 with 256GB storage. There's also a 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 with 512GB storage model which starts at $AU4249.
The new MacBook range is shipping now, and buyers can expect to receive their brand spanking new laptops within two to three weeks.

uh - I have the air and my friend has the pro. Mine's thinner, lighter, faster, better and definitely more powerful. Even she agrees
