It’s Apple Christmas yet again today as the company unveiled new iPads, a new Mac Pro, even refreshed MacBook Pros at a press briefing in San Francisco.
The latest Pros, which come in 13-inch and 15-inch varieties, offer all the major upgrades you’d expect by this point — faster 802.11ac Wi-Fi , Thunderbolt 2, and, as expected, Mavericks, the latest version of OSX (which is also completely free).
Also a big deal: The new MacBooks finally add Intel’s latest Haswell chips, which promise boosts in power, performance, and most importantly, battery life. Apple is claiming 9 hours for the 13-inch MacBook Pro, and 8 hours for the 15-inch version.
With the addition, the new MacBook Pros join the MacBook Air, which added Haswell chips back in June.
