If recent reports are to be believed, the approaching release of MacBook Pro 2016 will make the laptop cheaper than any of its previous laptops ever released. Even though it doesn't look like Apple will give its fans the treat of moderately priced MacBook Pro, many fans are still hoping for it to be true.

That said, there is no confirmation from the company about MacBook Pro 2016 being cheaper than its previous models. The much awaited Apple laptop is expected to be released soon as older versions are being offered by retailers at a markdown. Large discounts and deals are being offered on MacBook Pro 2015, some even reportedly the biggest price drops recorded in history.

As far as the specs are considered, the reports say that the new MacBook will come equipped with touch sensitive keyboard that will respond to touch pressures and produce appropriate actions. Moreover, new GPU products from NVidia and AMD will power MacBook under the hood.

The display screen is rumored to be 12-inch with improved Retina display featuring resolution of 2034 X 1440 pixels. "Make your point with greater clarity. Centered just above the widescreen Retina display on MacBook Pro is an advanced FaceTime HD camera, with an image sensor that produces accurate colors and reduced image noise even in low light," Apple said of the MacBook Pro 2016 on its website.

Phillip Schiller, SVP of Worldwide Marketing, said that MacBook Pro 2016 will be the thinnest and the lightest Mac ever made by Apple. "Customers are going to love this update to MacBook, with the latest processors, faster graphics, faster flash storage, longer battery life and a beautiful rose gold finish," he said.
