MacBook Pro 2016 was released on the Hello Again event of Apple last Oct 27. It has two choices, the 13- and 15-inch monitors. The bigger model unit has the touch bar with integrated touch ID sensor nad has storage up to 512GB PCIe-based onboard SSD. Both unit has 8GB onboard memory and can be bought silver or space gray. Also, the two MacBook Pro 2016 are both operated by macOS Sierra.

According to Forbes, if there's one running theme through all the reviews of Apple's latest MacBook Pro hardware, it's that Apple has made a misstep. Be it the standardized ports of USB-C, the lack of a MagSafe power connector, or the relatively weak specifications, everyone is sure there is something wrong with the MacBook.
Mark Spoonauer, Apple MacBook Pro's own editor in chief, took the laptop for a spin and found quite a bit of value in its compact design and its “very bright and colorful display.” The MacBook Pro also earned high marks for its “excellent battery life." It lasted well over the straight 12 hours on LaptopMag's web surfing test and has solid sound.
However, there were some deficiencies, including its somewhat sluggish performance compared to notebooks featuring 7th-generation Intel Core processors and the lack of both an SD card slot and full-size USB port.
Vlad Savov argues on The Verge that this is the evolution not of previous MacBook Pros, but of the MacBook Air. introduces Siri to Mac4 - along with new ways to enjoy your photos, shop more securely online, and work more seamlessly between devices.
Logical though it may be for Apple, this MacBook Pro presents a dichotomy. Professional video editors and photographers have been waiting for a new Pro laptop - but this midrange MacBook Pro probably isn't that. Instead, the world's coffee shops are filled with nomadic professionals seeking an Apple computer to replace the much more ubiquitous, but now dated, MacBook Air. So while Apple has been busy crafting the Pro MacBook, the way it will be received by most people is the way that I'm addressing it today: as a Pro MacBook Air.
Overall, though, the MacBook Pro 2016, either the 13- or 15-inch was generally well-received, earning a solid 4 out of 5 score. It is also earning it praise as “an excellent ultraportable.” In fact, the MacBook Pro is better than its predecessor “in nearly every way.”
