Depending on where you enable Force Click it could pull up the definition of a word, open a preview of a file, or even increase the rate at which you fast-forward a video. After the first click, if you press a little harder the trackpad will register a Force Click. The trackpad also has built-in pressure sensitivity that translates different levels of force for different tasks.

It moves down ever so slightly, but feels substantial. Now, you can “click” anywhere on the surface of the trackpad instead of only along the bottom. When we first used it, we were surprised at just how much it felt the same as a standard trackpad click-albeit a little softer. If you have a lighter touch you can adjust how much push is needed to trigger Force Click. It still has the same smooth glass touch surface that’s one of the best on the market, but underneath it are built-in force sensors that measure how hard you press and give you haptic feedback. If you want a taste of the new features of the upcoming 12-inch MacBook, the 13-inch MacBook Pro-not the 15-inch version-comes with the brand new Force Touch trackpad. That being said, the one new feature-the trackpad- is pure awesome. Apple might not need to upgrade its screen, but it wouldn’t hurt either. While this was impressive when Retina was first announced, competitors like the Dell XPS 13 come with a 3200x1800 display that barely has a border. Your photos and videos are going to look gorgeous on the display, while text remains crisp and clear to your eye.

The new Pro packs 227 pixels per inch into its display. Retina display was a pretty big deal when it first hit the market. On the inside, you’ll find the same backlit, chiclet style keyboard, the new Force Touch trackpad, and a 2560x1600 Retina display. With the right adapter you'll be able to connect to ethernet, an external display, and even hard drives or daisy-chain multiple devices without needing a bulky hub. Thunderbolt is the Swiss Army knife of ports and the 13-inch Pro packs two so you connect even more devices. If you take a look on the sides, you’ll find a healthy dose of ports to handle most of your needs: two Thunderbolt 2 ports, two USB 3 ports, an SDXC card slot, a full-sized HDMI input, and a headphone jack. It still has the clean aluminum unibody construction and comes in at a cool 3.48 pounds.
