Apple announces Australian pricing and availability for new MacBook Pro

A New York City keynote address saw the brand introduce their new MacBook Pro to the world, complete with Touch Bar and a new USBC-C cord that’ll be easier than ever to trip over.
The new 13 and 15-inch models also include a Touch ID sensor and they're thinner and lighter than ever, coming in a "space grey" colour, as well as the traditional silver.
