Apple today refreshed the 15-in. MacBook Pro, adding its new Force Touch trackpad to the laptop to match the move made in March on the smaller 13-in. model.
Prices for the 15-in. MacBook Pro remained unchanged: $1,999 for the configuration with a 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor and 256GB of flash storage; $2,499 for the notebook powered by a quad-core 2.5GHz Core i7 and 512GB of storage space on the SSD (solid-state drive).
Against expectations going back to last year, Apple eschewed Intel’s latest generation “Broadwell” architecture, the more power-efficient processors made using a 14-nanometer fabrication process, and stayed with the 22-nanometer “Haswell” CPUs.
