MacBook Pro vs MacBook Air
After what seems like an eternity, Apple has today unveiled a load of new MacBooks. There's a bundle of new MacBook Pros, but sadly no new Airs.
Instead, there’s a couple of versions of new MacBook Pro and Apple will keep on selling the older MacBook Air.
With Windows laptops getting better all the time – notably the Surface Book and Dell’s XPS 13 – Apple’s portables have felt stale for a long time. Yes, we’ve had the smaller 12-inch MacBook, but little else and frankly who can survive with just one port?
But what’s new? And which is right for you? Let’s take a look and see.
MACBOOK AIR VS MACBOOK PRO: THE GLORIOUS TOUCH BAR
It has been leaked heavily in the run up to the event, but one of the fanciest features Apple showed off was a new touch sensitive Retina strip that replaces the function keys and sits just below the screen.
It’s called Touch Bar, and you can twiddle the volume and brightness, but it changes depending on what apps you’re using. In Safari it’ll show your bookmarks and a search field, in Photos you can scrolls through pics. It looks fantastic, and frees up space on your display for other things.
There’s auto-correction and it’ll show you suggested words, plus Touch ID finally comes to the MacBook Pro. An Apple T1 chip tucked inside the MacBook Pro lets you make purchases with security at the forefront.

As it is multitouch enabled, you can scrub through videos without taking your finger of the bar.
You’ll be able to buy a version of the MacBook Pro with or without the Touch Bar, but of course the MacBook Air doesn’t come with anything similar.
MACBOOK AIR VS MACBOOK PRO: DISPLAY SIZE AND DESIGN
Those longing for the return of the fabled 17-inch MacBook Pro should turn away, Apple’s biggest laptop display still stands at 15-inches. The new MacBook Pro comes in two sizes; 13-inch and 15-inch just like before.
It also looks like a mash-up between the old MacBook Pro and the smaller MacBook, with the same butterfly mechanism for slimmer keys, a trackpad that’s twice as big and Force Touch enabled.
The body is still constructed from aluminium and you certainly will be able to tell it is an Apple laptop. The 13-inch model is 17% thinner than the outgoing model, with 23% less volume, while the 15-inch is also 14% thinner with 20% less volume.

The MacBook Air has become iconic, but maybe the tapered look is starting to feel dated. It hasn’t been freshened up in years and Apple leaving it alone once again feels like it’s the end.
Nothing sums up its age more than the display. The 13-inch MacBook Air has a measly 1440 x 900 resolution panel, which pales when you compare it to Retina display on the MacBook Pro with 2650 x 1600 (13-inch) or 2880 x 1800 (15-inch) resolutions. The updated Pros also have 500 nits of brightness and display a wider colour gamut which makes is screen better in every way.
MACBOOK AIR VS MACBOOK PRO: CPU, GPU AND RAM
As the ‘Pro’ in the name suggests, the MacBook Pro is aimed more at professionals while the Air sits as the choice for lighter users.
Every 15-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 6th generation Skylake (not the latest 7th generation Kaby Lake chip) Intel Core i7 CPU with a Radeon Pro GPU that boasts the Polaris architecture. The SSDs are quicker, and there’s an advanced thermal architecture that should help funnel all that heat out of the thin body.

The 13-inch version can be configured with either a Core i5 or i7 processor (again Skylake) and it once again has a much faster SSD, Intel Iris graphics and the advanced thermal architecture.
These are far more powerful machines than the MacBook Airs, but that shouldn’t really come as a surprise. The Air starts with a 5th generation Core i5 and Intel HD Graphics 6000 GPU, with 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD. You can double that storage if you fancy, though.
Both versions of the 13-inch MacBook Air come with 8GB RAM, while the MacBook Pros can be configured with either 8GB or 16GB RAM.
Apple MacBook Pro 2016
Apple has unveiled new high-end laptops that feature a thin interactive display above their keyboards and a fingerprint sensor.
The firm says the MacBook Pro's Touch Bar provides software-specific commands that are more "intuitive" to use than the function keys it replaces.
The announcement was not a surprise, however, because of an earlier leak.
Apple had not updated its MacBook Pro laptops since May 2015. Its MacBook Air models were two months older still.
That has impacted sales. Earlier this week Apple revealed that it had sold 10% fewer Macs in the year ending 24 September than over the prior 12 months.
Researchers suggest the wider PC market has also shrunk, but to a lesser extent.

Microsoft Launch Surface Studio, new all in one PC
Microsoft unveiled the Surface Studio today, an all-in-one PC with a 28-inch PixelSense display, with the thinnest display ever built according to Microsoft and a 3:2 display ratio. It also has an Intel Core processor, with a 2TB hybrid hard drive and an NVIDIA GPU, as well as integrated 2.1 speakers and a haptic feedback controller puck device.
The computer has a unique hinge on the back designed to make it more flexible for creative pursuits, and Microsoft’s Panay Panos said onstage it’s designed to “fundamentally change” the way people create.
The Studio has a touchscreen, 32GB RAM, a 2TB hybrid drive that combines HD and SD storage, four USB 3.0 ports, Ethernet, Audio, SD and Mini DisplayPort (no Thunderbolt) and the new radial input Surface Dial with haptic feedback. The speakers, ports and drive are contained in the base, which is a short, square box that lies between the chrome supports under the display.
Surface Studio’s display is designed to immerse the user as much as possible, according to Panay, which includes using 13.5 million pixels to make for a 192 PPI density that doesn’t reveal individual pixels no matter where you’re viewing from, according to Microsoft. The display also includes a feature Microsoft is calling TrueColor, which Panay says allows creators to “render the world… as he or she believes it needs to be rendered.”
What this means is that you can change your color space on the fly, meaning a filmmaker working in DCI-P3 can easily switch to sRGB to see how their content will look on TVs that don’t support the wider P3 color specification.
The display also features something called “True Scale,” which allows it to display print products at actual scale on the screen. “One inch on the screen is one inch in real life,” Panay said onstage at Microsoft’s product reveal on Wednesday.
Surface Studio’s hinge, which consists of two chrome arms attached to the base, is also designed to be reflective on purpose to further help it “fade to background,” according to Panay. It’s an interesting tactic for trying to reduce the user’s awareness of the actual hardware itself, and one that sounds a bit more like marketing hype than effective measure.
The Studio’s display includes a “linear mic array” that’s able to pic up a user’s voice from across the room, making it essentially an integrated Echo-like speaker thanks to the inclusion of Cortana in Windows 10.
Surface Studio also supports Surface Pen, making it an amazing option for graphics professionals. The Surface Dial works with the screen intelligently, giving you software tools like color sliders in various apps.
The hinge is designed to easily let you go from upright to flat working device without resistance, and the Surface Pen support really helps make that True Scale feature very appealing. It basically means you can write in full speed (the latency looks incredibly low) on a 1:1 8.5×11 piece of virtual paper on the screen.
Onstage, Panay also introduced and demonstrated the Surface Dial. It’s designed a new input device, in line with but different from things like mice and keyboards. Dial has global controls built-in, meaning they work throughout Windows at the system level. The Dial can work either laid out on the desk like a keyboard, or placed directly on the display, as in the image above. It’ll have different functions depending on which way you’re using it. Surface Dial also works with Surface Book, Surface Pro 3 and Surface Pro 4 for off-screen functions.
A demo of the Surface Studio’s creative prowess included a demo from Madefire founder Ben Wolstenholme, who used it to create a thumbnail for an animated comic for his app. Wolstenholme explained how he used to do the same workflow on paper and in multiple steps, but he can now do it entirely digitally right on the Surface Studio, complete with assigning handy shortcuts like zooming for detailed inking to the Dial.
“It’s amazing to me that Surface Studio makes it possible for me to have my entire creative workflow in one place,” Wolstenholme said.
Surface Dial is open to developers, letting them create on-screen use cases that make it possible to use it to do things like change color while you’re actually in the act of digital painting, or adjusting scale and switching between tools on the fly.
The Surface Studio is available for pre-order now, and will arrive in Microsoft Stores for hands-on demos starting October 27. It’s going to ship in limited numbers by this holiday season, and is priced starting at $2,999.
Xiaomi's Mi Mix is almost all screen
Xiaomi has a new concept phone -- but it's not actually a concept, it's real. And it's crazy.
Designed with the help of French designer Philippe Starck, and announced here at Xiaomi's Beijing event today, the 6.4-inch device features a striking bezel-less display. Where other phones usually keep a top and bottom area available for the front camera and home button, the Mix does away with both, leaving only a small space in the bottom right corner for the front camera.
The phone will be available in China on November 4 and will come in two models. One, housing 4GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage, will sell for 3,499 yuan, which converts to about $510, AU$680 or £420. A premium model with 18-carat gold embossing and 256GB onboard storage will cost 3,999 yuan. That's approximately $590, AU$770 or £480.
