It has recently been revealed that Apple's previously announced fall launch event will be taking place this coming Oct. 27. The event itself is reportedly going to be a venue for the Cupertino-based giant to unveil several new products, including the highly anticipated 2016 Macbook Pro laptop.

While reports of the laptop launching within the year had been running rampant over the past few months, it is only now that fans have a concrete idea of when the launch will be taking place. There are now even talks of a possible revamp of the laptop's design and hardware. If this is indeed proven to be true, then users might very well be seeing a brand new MacBook Pro laptop and not just an updated version of the top-of-the-line device.

Since the launch of the current generation MacBook Pro back in 2012, the device has since received various upgrades and new features. These features had included a new Retina display, a Force Touch trackpad, and other upgrades. However, fans have been waiting for a quite a while now for a truly new generation device.

According to several reports, the 2016 MacBook Pro laptop might indeed be a brand new iteration to the popular brand. Several rumor reports have also revealed that the device would likely be coming with a brand new OLED touchscreen, replacing the standard functions keys on top of the keyboard. The screen itself will reportedly be able to adapt to its touchscreen keys depending on the app or program that is being used.

As for the laptop's rumored design, the 2016 MacBook Pro is expected to come in an even slimmer design, compared to the current generation MacBook Pro. It is even rumored to be coming with a flatter keyboard that will allow it to have a sleeker profile overall.
