This is Apple’s most powerful mobile computer, so if mobile computing is a thing you do, this is the laptop for you. Its price isn’t weighed down by a novelty premium, its versatility and power aren’t compromised, and its raison d'être isn’t in question. Unlike the more glamorous Watch and MacBook, the new MacBook Pro is practical and designed for everyone. It’s going to serve as the device on which many people experience Force Touch for the first time, and it signifies Apple’s intention to make this a standard feature across all of its laptops. Though it was a mere footnote to Apple’s big event last month, the MacBook Pro will actually play a pioneering role for its maker.
Force Touch is Apple’s hallmark of newness for 2015, but it also finds a home in one of the Cupertino company’s less adventurous machines, the 13-inch MacBook Pro.
It is a catch-all term for a combination of pressure sensitivity and haptic feedback that you will find built into the Apple Watch and the trackpad of the newly redesigned MacBook.
Apple is rolling out a major new hardware feature this year with the introduction of what it calls Force Touch.
