Updated: Apple refreshes its Macbook Pro and MacBook Air models with Broadwell

Apple might have just blown the lid off it's most advanced Retina MacBook Air yet, but it's sharing plenty of upgrades to MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models, both of which have been refreshed with Intel's latest Broadwell CPU.

The Cupertino-based company just announced it's bringing 5th generation Intel Broadwell processors to the MacBook Pro along with flash storage that's two times faster. What's more, battery life on the 13-inch MacBook Pro has been extended to 10 hours.

Like the new Retina Macbook Air, the refreshed MacBook Pro's also come equipped with Apple's new touch pad. Unlike the older touch pad, the new part depresses with a uniform click, haptic feedback and force click action for analog control in applications like QuickTime X.

A fresh breath of (MacBook) Air

Apple has also given its MacBook Air the 5th generation Intel Broadwell bump. The still ultra-thin notebook will come rocking Intel Core i5 and i7 processors paired with Intel HD Graphics 6000.

Another Apple has added to the MacBook Air is a Thunderbolt 2 port for linking up an external display or daisy chaining multiple screens.

Updated models of both the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro start shipping today. Apple has yet to announce pricing details for its new notebook offerings, but we will update this post as soon as the information becomes available.
