Apple’s refreshed MacBook Pros (http://www.macworld.com/article/3136316/macs/hands-on-the-macbook-pros-innovative-touch-bar-will-grab-you.html) haven’t even arrived in stores yet, but we already have an idea of what to expect from next year’s models.</p><p>
The biggest rumored change (https://9to5mac.com/2016/10/31/2017-macbook-pro-rumors/) is the addition of 32GB of RAM, which would be a welcome move—the just-announced Pros top out at 16GB. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a reputation for accurate Apple product predictions, says more RAM depends on Intel, because Apple is waiting for Canonnlake processors.</p><p>
Apple has taken some heat for its decision to top out at 16GB of RAM, which isn’t all that much for such an expensive, professional-grade laptop. But Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of marketing, said 32GB wouldn’t be power-efficient enough for a laptop, meaning it would gobble up tons of battery life.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3137243/components-processors/the-2017-macbook-pro-may-have-more-ram-and-a-lower-price-tag.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
