New Concept Shows The New MacBook Pro With An OLED Touchpad

radically redesigned MacBook Pro expected to be unveiled at WWDC 2016

Based on leaked parts and credible reports, there’s a new MacBook Pro expected to launch later this year. The biggest new feature that has been rumored is that the new MacBook Pro will come with a touchscreen display integrated into the keyboard, replacing the function keys. The idea behind the keyboard display is that it could be a great place for the traditional Mac menu bar, and software can use it to display certain shortcuts and free up valuable screen real estate.

However, before you get all excited, if this rumor materializes it won’t be as cool as you might think. Most apps won’t be using it and it will take time to get support for it ( maybe you’ll have to wait for the next gen MacBooks with keyboard display ). A second screen, even such a small screen, will use that valuable battery juice. Not to mention the extra production cost of the MacBook Pro which will add to the retail price. And what happens when it breaks? These days it seems that it’s not “if” it breaks it’s “when” it breaks….

Jump over the break to check out some amazing 3D-renderings by Martin Hajek of what the new MacBook could look like…

SmartSleep: Have Your Mac Sleep Smart

Sleep your Mac differently depending on the battery level

Sleep your Mac differently depending on the battery level. Your MacBook or MacBook Pro knows the following sleep states:

sleep machine will go to sleep only (saves state in RAM only, battery keeps RAM contents)
hibernate only machine will go to hibernate only. (saves state on disk, battery will not be used)
sleep & hibernate machine sleeps and hibernates. (default)

Just sleep means that the notebook will go to sleep fast, but you lose the ability to change the battery as the battery is needed to keep the contents of the memory (RAM). Just sleep and hibernate will wake the computer fast, but sleeping will take ages as the contents of the memory are saved to disk before entering the sleep.
