In line with the upcoming launch of Apple's Macbook Pro, it is rumored to be released this coming March 21.

Even without an official announcement from Apple concerning the Macbook Pro 2016 release, people already began speculating that they will launch it in the upcoming Apple event on March 21.

According to a Macworld report, the tech giant is expected to launch MacBook Pro 2016 on March 21, given that Apple usually releases new laptops at the same time of the year.

Rumored specs of the new MacBook Pro 2016 models include Intel's Skylake processors. Skylake processor is a vital upgrade for the device since it will increase the performance level of the Macbook Pro, making it a faster and more efficient gadget. Battery life is also expected to be longer.

The latest MacBook Pro is speculated to be armed with a 16GB 1600MHz memory, built-in battery of up to nine hours, Turbo Boost of up to 3.4GHz and a Force Touch trackpad. A 256GB variant is also available with an Intel Iris Pro Graphics. Lastly, the 512GB variant has an AMD Radeo R9 M370X with 2GB GDDR5 memory.

As reported by TechForhunt, Macbook Pro 2016 will also feature OLED display compared to the usual retina display in most devices currently available in the market. It is also available in a 12-inch variant and a 13-inch variant.

The selling price of the 2016 MacBook Pro is hard to determine as of the moment, but according to circulating rumors, it should be approximately higher than $1,500.

As fans anticipate the scheduled release, they believe that its success mainly depends on how the gadget performs. Moreover, what needs to be defined is if the 2016 MacBook ever reaches or exceeds the high expectations of Apple followers.
