The all new 2016 MacBook Pro is speculated to be unveiled by Apple on Oct. 27 just after Microsoft launches its Surface Book 2 and Surface Pro 5. But, before the official launch, details of the new MacBook Pro have been leaked in a report.

It was in the year 2015 that the last MacBook Pro was launched and since then rumors suggested that in October Apple would be hosting a special event for Macs. Well, Apple is indeed hosting this event on Oct. 27 and it is expected that the new devices will be up for sale within a couple of weeks after the event.

Ahead of the official launch, a lot of details about the MacBook Pro Line-up have been leaked, claims Forbes. According to the news outlet, the report issued by KGI Securities Ming-Chi Kuo reveals that Apple will be launching three new models on Thursday; a 15-inch MacBook Pro, a 13-inch MacBook Pro, and an all-new 13-inch MacBook.

Apart from the thinner and lighter laptops, a key feature revealed is that the new 2016 MacBook Pro will have a context-sensitive touchscreen, which will allow users to have access to popular commands and quick actions, determined by an app-on-app basis.

It is also believed by analysts that Apple will cut down the multiple ports on the hardware and the laptop will rely primarily on USB-C for power and connectivity. It will also be backed by Thunderbolt 3, but it will, however, depend on the model.

Notably, Kuo is known to break news about Apple hardware and he has an excellent track record. Kuo also states in his report that the Apple might not reveal the external displays and the new iMacs at the event. Moreover, he predicts that in case they make the announcement, it should not be expected before the first half of 2017.

Reportedly, the MacBook Pro 2016 UK price is expected to start from £999. And the different models will be differently priced as per the specifications and features, reports PC Advisor.

Fans of Apple can catch up the live streaming on Oct. 27 from 10 a.m. PDT at apple.com/apple-events/october-2016. Real-time announcements will also be made on Apple event live blog.

iPhone, iPad or iPod users can catch up the news in Safari 6.0.5+ on a Mac running OS X 10.8.5 or later and those using Windows 10 PC or laptop can use the Edge browser.

It is worth mentioning here that Microsoft is also speculated to launch its new Surface Pro 5 and Surface Book, just a day ahead of Apple's 2016 MacBook Pro release.
