<p>Apple’s ‘hello again’ tagline for its special event this Thursday suggests an evolution of the Mac line, not just an iterative update. That’s because the world was introduced to the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaFTLrULHwg" target="_blank">Macintosh[/url] in 1984 with a ‘hello’, then to the iMac (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxwmF0OJ0vg) in 1998 with a ‘hello (again)’, both key points in the Mac’s history. Now in 2016 it appears to be the MacBook Pro’s turn.</p>
<p>This will hardly be the first MacBook Pro, but we expect a slimmer design with beefed up internals and a new input method: an OLED touch panel above the keyboard that dynamically changes based on context. Apple will likely want to frame the ‘Magic Toolbar (https://9to5mac.com/2016/10/20/magic-toolbar-2016-macbook-pro/)‘ (or whatever it calls it) as an important evolution in input methods like the iPod’s Click Wheel, the iPhone’s Multi-Touch, and the Apple Watch’s Digital Crown.</p>
<p>If you ignore the historical importance of ‘hello again’ and just see it as a clever way to say ‘hey, we just had an event last month and we’re back’, one thing is still clear based on what we expect to see (https://9to5mac.com/2016/10/22/kgi-apple-to-release-3-new-mac-laptops-at-next-weeks-event-new-imac-5k-display-coming-next-year/) at Apple’s event: this is the year to pay attention to new MacBook Pros.</p>
