The year 2016 was interesting phase for Apple. It only remains to be seen what wonders the Cupertino tech-giant pulls this year especially given the number of new products lined up for launches. Chief of them will undoubtedly be the Apple MacBook Pro 2017 version.

According to a report published by Science World Report, last year's MacBook Pro variant was exactly positively received by its fans. Firstly due to the number of limited ports that came equipped in the device. Apart from that, the device even experienced several battery issues wherein users were left disappointed due to the speed at which the battery of the device kept draining. However, a refreshed and a much-better version of the Apple MacBook Pro 2017 are expected this year.

Reports suggest that the upcoming Apple MacBook Pro 2017 is expected to come packed with several high-end specifications including Intel's seventh-generation Kaby Lake processor. Moreover, the gadget is expected to offer around 16GB of RAM - which sure is a lot of space. Other reports suggest that Apple may be planning on ditching Intel as its chipset supplier too. Instead, the Cupertino tech-giant is rumored to take support of privately manufactured Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

Separately, a report published by MacWorld indicates that the upcoming MacBook Pro 2017 will also probably be available in a new 'Gold' color variant. Along with that, the upcoming MacBook Pro 2017 is also expected to come equipped with additional features and certain unexpected innovations.

Apple MacBook Pro -2017 is also rumored to feature 4K display. As far as the release date of the upcoming Apple MacBook Pro 2017 is concerned, several reports suggest that the next-generation laptop is likely to arrive in October this year. The assumption is made on the basis of the fact that Apple usually launches its MacBook Pro products in the same month most of the time.
