MacBook Pro 2015 is going to be a lot more different than its previous version. Many would claim that they see no obvious difference until you point out the exact area.
Let's take for example the Force Touch trackpad. This concept was introduced this 2015. Well the feature is not exactly accurate. Why? Because Apple had placed a bank of touch sensors, strain gauges, and electromagnet beneath its frosted glass layer. These sensors monitor every press of a finger, or thumb, and then portraying the familiar clicking sensation from traditional touchpads.
Pressing gently the touchpad would enable the users feel the familiar clicking sensation that many would expect. In this case, the touchpad only moves in its tiniest movement from the pressure coming from the light touch of your finger. However, if the user would apply a bit more of the pressure that they usually apply, the touchpad might give a feeling of movement when in reality they don't. The movement is channeled to the electromagnets which provide the weightier Force Click.
The click is created by a Haptic Feedback and not by the physical movement. This is therefore adjustable. Users can adjust the click feature to their preference. Users could choose from light, medium, and firm. It is however, advisable to use the firm setting in order to avoid activating it easily or by mistake.
The Force Click also has its advantages. Though it may not be the most advanced technology that Apple had offered, it made the users life easier. Through the Force Click, files like large audios, videos, or photo libraries can be previewed instantly. The Force Click is also useful in previewing hyperlinks in Safari. It brings up linked pages in a preview window. It can also be used in selected words or phrases in which a balloon notification would appear bearing related definitions from the Dictionary, Thesaurus, and Wikipedia.
With this new feature from Apple, MacBook Pro users might no longer need a USB mouse to use a control in pinpointing and executing important actions.
