Many leaks suggested that a new MacBook Pro was about to be announced, and so it came to pass.
Apple had more than that to show off though, kicking things off with a new part of Apple TV called simply TV. It curates 8000 or so apps which allow you access to all manner of streaming content, though at the moment it doesn't include Netflix.
The big news though was all about the long awaited refresh of the MacBook Pro. 13 and 15 inch models are on the way and, naturally, they're the thinnest versions of the device which Apple has ever made, downl to as little as 14.9 mm.
It's great to see a trackpad that's twice as large, that real estate can never be too big, and if that isn't enough Apple also showed off the much-rumoured touch bar. Instead of the function keys at the top of the keyboard, you'll now find a slim OLED screen which is multi-touch and very high resolution.

The point here is that these buttons can change dynamically and contextually based on what you're doing. Get easy play controls while watching a video, quick suggestions for what you're typing or a bunch of handy emoji. You can also set up favourite shortcuts and functions. This is a pretty neat concept and one that definitely helps the new Pro stand out from the crowd - and it doesn't hurt that it looks great.
