However, since Apple sometimes skips over entire generations of silicon, being able to get those chips in a new MacBook wasn’t exactly a sure thing.”]

On the lower end of the scale, the new 13-inch MacBook Pro comes with an 2.4-GHz 8th gen quad-core Intel processor, updated graphics and the Touch Bar. It starts at $2,699.

As for the 15-inch versions, the lower end 6-core model starts at $3,499 and comes with Intel’s Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM and 256GB storage.

If you’re after the 8-core unit it starts at $4,099 for the Intel Core i9 processor, 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. Both versions have the Touch Barand retina display with True Tone.

Apple claims that the 8-core Pro will have double the performance compared to older quad core laptops and 40 per cent improved performance than previous gen 6-core models. You can read more specifics on the performance right here.

All of the new models also come with an updated keyboard that is made from new material that will apparently reduce previously reported issues.
