2017 Macbook Pro: Apple Plans To Release 15-Inch 32GB RAM MacBook Pro Q4 2017

After the refusal of Consumer Reports to give Apple's latest MacBook Pro its usual very high reviews, it seems that Apple is eager to prove that they are the top brand in manufacturing devices and laptops among numerous competitors. According to sources, later this year, Apple is planning to fix one of the biggest issues of the latest MacBook Pro that is to expand the maximum capacity of RAM available.

Apple Insider reported that according to KGI analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will release a 15-inch MacBook Pro during the fourth quarter of 2017. The said MacBook Pro will boast a staggering 32GB of RAM. On the other hand, further reports suggested that the 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pro will feature seventh-generation Intel Kaby Lake chips.

It is believed by Kuo that the new Kaby Lake notebooks will be more power efficient, which could benefit the shipments' issues. Kuo estimates that Mac notebook shipments will resume year-over-year growth at about 10% on the strength of the new models, explaining further that shipments will be quicker as production delays affecting 2016 models are resolved.

These statements was released by Kuo three months later after he also claimed that Apple planned to make a 32GB RAM-option for the MacBook Pro. However, neither of these reports nor claims was confirmed by Apple.

Upon the release of 2016 MacBook Pros, many users have expressed their disappointment as the software system of these devices, the MacOS Sierra, were allegedly found not being able to respond well compared to their expectations. Moreover, many were unsatisfied of the 2016 MacBook Pros since they only have a maximum 16GB and do not acquire Kaby Lake processors when HP and other PC makers were offering Kaby Lake options.

Meanwhile, Apple's iPhone models continue to bring higher revenues compare to their other products. Some commented that maybe the reason why Apple's MacOS software is not that as 'responsive' is due to the fact that Apple dissolved its dedicated Mac software team, as Bloomberg reported recently.
