Apple is said to have readied a new MacBook Pro, which would flaunt a much thinner and lighter build. It will feature TouchID support and an OLED touchscreen above the keyboard to replace the physical function keys. The new MacBook will support USB-C type and Thunderbolt 3 port, according to appleinsider.com.

A rumour that's going around is that, it may be a 2-in-1 laptop with a detachable keyboard. Now that's something we can look forward to.

It is also expected to come in various color options like the new MacBooks. Apple had announced its 12-inch MacBook on April 19 this year and an update for the MacBook Air. But for this new model, Apple has done a deeper digging into what users want, in terms of hardware. As opposed to the traditional keypad, this one is rumoured to be more easier to type on.

It is said that the new MacBook might have the most thinnest panel for its Retina display with a 2304 x 1440 pixel resolution. So there, a package that has it all? We'll get to know at the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2016. The event kicks off on June 13.
