Update 11/23: We now have the new Apple MacBook Pro 15 in review as well. Our test model for the following article was purchased in Apple's online store (no press sample). We will obviously review the Touch Bar versions as soon as we get them. Apple's shipping date for our orders are between November 24th and December 1st. The 'full versions' with Touch Bar are expected in about three weeks. We already have the latter in review, which is supposed to be very similar to the Touch Bar siblings except for the mentioned differences. The lineup includes 13 as well as 15-inch systems, although the 13-inch model is also available as slimmed-down version without Touch Bar, only two Thunderbolt ports (instead of four), and less powerful CPU/GPU configurations. The new MacBook Pro 13 is also thinner, lighter and reduces the port variety to Thunderbolt ports. Many of them were confirmed, especially the new Touch Bar, a multifunctional touch display strip instead of the function keys, which is supposed to offer many additional input options depending on the application. As always, there were many rumors and speculations about new features ahead of the announcement on October 27th.
