The highly rumored and anticipated MacBook Pro 2017 will reportedly use the old design of its predecessor. The upcoming device will boast the same hardware as well.

This report contrasts several speculations that the MacBook Pro 2017 will have impressive features, design and new hardware. As reported by Computer World, the upcoming device might use the Kaby Lake instead of the latest Cannonlake processor.

The American multinational tech company, last year, has shipped Kaby Lake for the previous version of the MacBook Pro 2017. However, it is speculated that the company has ordered a lot of Kaby Lake in believing that it would still be used for the rest of the Mac lineup.

The Cupertino-based company has been taking its MacBook Pro 2017 price tag a higher peak without providing users substantial upgrades on their anticipated device. Apple might increase the MacBook Pro's memory up to 32GB but it stuck on 16GB RAM, as reported by MacWorld.

Apple Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller has defended the Apple's decision on sticking with the old processor and memory. In an email, he has mentioned that the MacBook Pro 2017 might already work fast without having its memory upgrade to 32GB, as reported by Droid Report.

With this, it is expected that the MacBook Pro 2017 might have a slicker and slimmer design which could provide a good and longer battery life. Furthermore, it is also reported that the upcoming gadget from Apple might have an OLED display. This declines the previous reports and speculations that Apple will drop the Touch Bar.

On the other hand, the upcoming release of iPad 2017 might also give some hint what MacBook Pro would look like. The now affordable iPad 2017 costs $469 only, with slight improvement. Apple might also apply the same aspect to the upcoming MacBook Pro 2017.
