Up to 3x more Amp Designer plug-ins in Logic Pro. Up to 2. Up to 5. Up to 3. Up to 7. Some of the outstanding features that make MacBooks a superior laptop are its high-Retina display, the comfortable and snappy keyboard, and the sophisticated design that houses a machine that outperforms other brands and models.
Of course, the MacBook we know now has gone through several spans of transformation. In fact, the very first Apple portable computer came out in which is called the Macintosh Portable.
Our visual graph below illustrates the history and evolution of this well-regarded machine. Apple, the prominent tech giant, boasts instantly recognizable products. So, how did Apple get to this point? Apple used different naming conventions for its laptop computers over the years. For its debut in , Apple used the name PowerBook to introduce its laptop line. Once again, Apple seemed determined to outperform rivals.
Cupertino borrowed the concept from the magnetic connectors used in deep fryers and other cooking appliances to protect cooks from spilling dangerously hot liquids. But Apple improved upon it and earned a patent by making the connector symmetrical and reversible — and thus incredibly easy to use. The new MacBook Pro also boasted a There was no more MagSafe , but all ports could power the laptop without the need for a proprietary cable.
However, all eyes were on the new generation's keyboard, which had carried over from the inch MacBook. Thinner keys with a butterfly mechanism and less space between them, a touch screen panel instead of a function row, and a giant trackpad all made this design futuristic and new.
Through the years, the ports change mattered less as more users got USB accessories to match, but the keyboard didn't live up to Apple's hopes. April of saw a report that said the butterfly keyboard was failing at up to twice the rate of the previous generations. Class-action lawsuits were filed, Apple updated the keyboard with membrane material to prevent foreign object ingress, and a final update to the keyboard in May changed out materials for stronger ones.
Apple also announced a keyboard service program for all the affected MacBooks. These changes have seemed to reduce the need for repair of "sticky keys," but they still weren't enough for users expecting their devices to "just work. The first revision to the fourth-generation MacBook Pro came in November , and along with it a newly dubbed "Magic Keyboard.
This inch model also included new spec updates to bring it in line with the iMac Pro and increased the battery to the maximum allowed for plane travel, W. In May , Apple released a inch update with a new Magic Keyboard, faster processors, and more storage.
It also added Core i7 processors, USB 3. To further accommodate the thinning of the laptop, Apple added MagSafe 2, which had a thinner connector and port.
FireWire and Ethernet were dropped to allow for the new ports, but users could still connect them via thunderbolt adapters.
This laptop also lost some moving parts. Apple dropped the disk drive and switched the hard drive to a solid-state drive. The design further removed user upgradeability by soldering in the memory and gluing in the battery. This generation saw more significant user-facing updates than the standard memory or screen changes.
In , the laptops gained Thunderbolt 2, Iris graphics, The update, the last before the current generation, included all of the usual speed updates, along with some hardware changes. That generation marked the Force Touch trackpad's debut, making for quieter and softer clicks and allowing for deep-press-triggered contextual menus. Apple announced the second-generation MacBook Pro during a press event in October A new design, dumping the old PowerBook chassis, sported a unibody aluminum enclosure with tapered edges, like the MacBook Air.
The optical drive and ports were rearranged for the new body style: ports on the left and optical drive on the right. Apple changed ports and dropped FireWire , but the FireWire port remained.
This generation allowed users to change their battery out, useful for travel or switching in a spare. Given that the battery only lasted about five hours on one charge, buying an extra allowed the device to last closer to a full day.
Along with its new sleek aluminum case, Apple added a glass surface trackpad. Users could click the new trackpad anywhere, an upgrade over designated buttons below on the first-generation trackpad.
Later updates to the line added inertial scrolling, similar to what iOS offered. Apple launched a larger inch variant in April. These were the first MacBooks with webcams. They also introduced the MagSafe connector. The process went without too many hitches, and it proved to be up to three times as fast as the PowerBook G4 it replaced.
