Apple's MacBook Pro to launch in October at Rs. 2lakh
What's the story
Thanks to leaks, we know Apple is working to revamp its MacBook Pro line-up with a new 16-inch model that will feature a revamped design, QHD+ display, and the latest Intel chipset.
And now, the Economic Daily News has claimed that Apple's largest MacBook Pro will release in October and that it would be super expensive.
Here's all about it.
New design
Firstly, how will the new MacBook Pro look?
At present, there is nothing known about the new MacBook Pro. However, back in February this year, reputed Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the company is working on a new 16-inch MacBook Pro model and it would come with an "all-new design".
Hence, we can expect Apple to trim the bezels and offer a 16-inch screen on a 15-inch form factor.
Screen
The upcoming MacBook Pro will feature a QHD+ LCD display
Going by previous leaks, the upcoming MacBook Pro will feature a QHD+ display with a native resolution of 3072x1920. Notably, it will be an LCD panel and will be sourced by LG Display.
At this size, the new model will offer the biggest and the sharpest screen ever on a MacBook Pro, beating the existing 15-inch MacBook Pro which has a 2880x1800 pixel screen.

Everything else we expect from the 16-inch MacBook Pro
If Apple opts for a bigger form factor, we can expect it to offer more connectivity options, a bigger battery, and more powerful stereo speakers.
We also expect to see Intel's ninth-generation H-series Core i9-9980HK octa-core chipset, a powerful graphics card, more RAM and higher SSD storage to place it between the iMac and the Mac Pro.
