Several Apple products are up for launching this year, including the MacBook Pro. While it may not be as highly anticipated as the new MacBook Airs and the iPad tablets, the MacBook Pro is a product to watch as it is expected to come with significant specs boosts.

The MacBook Pro 2015 version is expected to be faster and battery efficient courtesy of Intel's Broadwell Core M processors. The Core M processors run at 4.5 watts, which is certainly low to last longer than the nine-hour life span of the 2014 MacBook Pro model. Indeed 4.5 watts is ridiculously low that, even if Apple uses high-frequency processors, the upcoming MacBook version is expected to be more power efficient. This, according to Gotta Be Mobile.

Broadwell also helps make very slim gadgets possible since Intel has mobility in mind besides performance when creating this next generation of processors for mainstream computers. Thus, a thin profile is also expected for the upcoming MacBook Pro. If that's not enough an indication, the fact that it was in 2012 since the MacBook Pro received a trim in depth should prompt Apple that the upcoming Pro is due for a change in that department.

Apple is also said to be giving the MacBook Pro's graphic display a big boost by using a Retina Display, a higher-end display model with dual-graphics card namely the Intel Iris Graphics card and a 15 inch Intel Iris Pro Graphics, and an Intel Iris Pro Graphics with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M. If this is true, the 2015 MacBook Pro will be the first to have a dual-graphics card.

For MacBook pro users this would mean two things: more options for different works performed on the device and the chance to save battery by switching to different graphic processors.

TouchID is also coming with the MacBook Pro 2015. This is high time considering the additional security it can provide to MacBook Pro users.

A June launching is very much anticipated for the MacBook Pro 2015 because Apple has been launching MacBook Pro models at the Worldwide Developers Conference.
