Now with 8th-generation 6-core processors, up to 32GB of system memory, up to 4TB of super fast SSD storage, new True Tone technology in its Retina display and Touch Bar, the Apple T2 chip for enhanced security and a third-generation quieter keyboard packed into its thin and light aluminum design with all-day battery life, it’s the best notebook for pro users,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing.

The key feature of the latest touchbar-enabled laptops is Intel’s latest eighth-generation processors. The new hardware drops the LPDDR3 sockets of previous models and adopts the new DDR4 standard allowing for the increased RAM allotment.
