The MacBook Pro 2016 is Apple's latest laptop model. It has been widely anticipated months prior its release primarily because of Apple's lack of a new laptop for quite some time. When the MacBook Pro 2016 got released, it got mixed reaction from the market. Lots of people did love that Apple has finally refreshed its line of laptops. However, not everyone has been 100 percent happy with what the MacBook Pro has to offer. In fact, the new Apple laptop has even been compared to a bunch of other brands, including underrated devices like Lenovo hybrids. One of the best models that can pretty much compete with Apple's premium device is probably the Lenovo Yoga 910. Here's a quick overview and comparison between the MacBook Pro and the Yoga 910.

The MacBook Pro is pretty proud of its new Touch Bar feature. It's actually like a touchable ticker that shows different options depending on your current activity, which is pretty cool. It's kind of the MacBook Pro 2016's topmost asset aside from its improved internals. Needless to say, since the MacBook Pro is an Apple product, it is very premium and quite expensive. This laptop starts at $1499 but takes note that this starting price is only applicable to the MacBook Pro model that doesn't have a Touch Bar and a Touch ID.
Basically, there are three MacBook Pro 2016 models to choose from. Two of these are 13-inch in size and then there's another one that's 15-inch in size. Out of the two 13 inch model, one has no Touch Bar. The13-inchh no-Touch Bar model is priced $1499 and comes with a 2.0 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor. This model then has 256 GB worth of storage, 8 GB RAM and an Intel Iris Graphics 540 graphics. As per Apple's site, this model has two Thunderbolt 3 ports.
The Touch Bar-enabled 13-inch MacBook Pro, on the other hand, starts at $1799 for the 256 GB model and $1999 for the 512 GB model.
