Apple also announced the update of their MacBook, unfortunately there is no point in comparing the improvements made with respect to the iMac Pro, since everything results in simply changing the Intel Skylake processors to the new family of 7th Generation, the Intel Kaby Lake.
Otherwise, nothing changes: same design, ports, connectivity and the screen. In this way, the basic model offers a 12-inch display at a resolution of 2304 x 1440 pixels driven by an Intel Core m3 dual-core next to 8 GB of LPDDR3 @ 1866 MHz memory, a 256 GB capacity SSD and Graphics Intel HD Graphics 615 for 1.499 euros. The second model incorporates a Core i5 dual core, a 512 GB SSD and its price grows to 1,799 euros. Below you can find a detailed comparison list of all new Apple MacBook presented at WWDC 2017.
