This new design looks and feels a lot like Apple's standard well-regarded trackpads, but trades the top hinge and clickable surface for a new click-free design that mimics the feel of physically depressing the pad by way of haptic feedback.
The performance jump from this is small, but the battery life gets a modest boost, and Apple's soldered-in flash memory, similar to the solid-state drives (SSDs) found in other laptops, gets a speed boost as well.īut the most notable update is the addition of Apple's new Force Touch trackpad. As expected, the system moves to Intel's fifth-generation Core i-series chips, also known by the code name Broadwell. Keeps the same body and high-resolution Retina Display as before, while adding some spec upgrades that run from minor to meaningful.
