The Force Touch trackpad allows a user to click anywhere on it and feel the same force exerted back, which is customizable to the amount of pressure needed for each click.
According to Apple, the new MacBook Pro has two times faster flash storage memory compared to the previous versions. Its battery can last up to 9 hours, an hour more battery life compared to past MacBook Pro when subjected to wireless web surfing and iTunes movie playback.

The new graphic chip, AMD Radeon R9 M370X, improves the graphic performance up to 80% faster performance for video editing in Final Cut Pro X and rendering 3D images in graphic editing apps or even playing high-resolution games.
