At a press event on the morning of 27 October, San Francisco time, Apple is expected to overhaul its MacBook line of personal computers. Leading the event is expected to be an update to its MacBook Pro range of laptops, which has not seen any changes whatsoever for more than 500 days. The touch bar can be altered in software to show context-appropriate buttons, and at the right hand side of the bar is a separate fingerprint sensor, making the MacBook Pro the first TouchID-enabled computer Apple has shipped.

The MacBook Pro line hasn’t been updated since May 2015, when it received a minor suite of upgrades including a speed bump, better battery life, and a “Force Touch” trackpad.
