MacBook Pro 2017: All New Cheaper MacBook Pro To Be Released On The Second Half of 2017! Touch Bar Not Included By Desy Serona staff@droidreport.com | Apr 17, 2017 12:19 AM EDT After the release of the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar in 2016, which made a huge buzz as consumers reject its new version, Apple is now ready to launch the MacBook Pro 2017. Unfortunately, the 2016 release of the MacBook range did not add a huge amount of feature or functionality to the range to match the new price. The Touch Bar is cute, but it can never be an integral part of macOS for many years. The MacBook Pro 2017 is said to be out in the second half of 2017. According to The Christian Post, this next update for the MacBook Pro series will abandon the Touch Bar feature due to the poor response of the professionals, particularly to the Touch Bar. The ditching of the Touch Bar also means that the new MacBook Pro 2017 will be much cheaper than the previously released MacBook Pro 2016. It will also equip new enhancements and enhanced battery life. The MacBook Pro 2017 will also be powered by Intel's next generation Kaby Lake Processor, paired with the AMD Radeon Pro GPU. There were rumors that it will be equipped with a 32GB RAM, double the RAM memory of the existing MacBook Pro as reported by PC Advisor UK. This highly anticipated laptop could also come along with 4 USB Type C-ports. Currently, the MacBook Pro 13-inch without Touch Bar offers an Intel Iris Graphics 540 while the 13in model with Touch Bar offers Intel Iris Graphics 550. The Radeon RX 500 series is expected to be launched this year and could be destined for the new MacBook Pro designs. Apple hasn't made an official announcement about the release of the MacBook Pro 2017 yet. However, the upcoming Apple Laptop is expected to be released on the third or fourth quarter of 2017.
