new 13 inch MacBook Pro with scissor keyboard coming next month

We recently heard a rumor that the new 13 inch MacBook Pro will come with the latest Intel Core processors and now we have some more details about the device.

According to a recent report the new MacBook Pro will be launching next month, probably at the same time as the new iPhone SE 2 or iPhone 9.

Apple launched their 16 inch MacBook Pro last year, the device came with a new updated scissor keyboard which is a much better design that the butterfly keyboard that Apple had been using on recent Macbooks.

Apple is expected to replace all of the butterfly keyboards on its new Macs with the updated scissor design and we are expecting to see this new keyboard on the 13 inch MacBook Pro.

Apple is rumored to be holding a press event on the 31st of March and we are expecting to see the new 13 inch MacBook Pro at the event along with the new entry level iPhone.

If Apple makes this new MacBook Pro official at a press event on the 31st of March then we can expect the device to either go on sale the same day or in early April. As soon as we get some more information about the device we will let you guys know.

Sharge mini 65 W USB-C charger for laptops, phones, cameras and more

If you are searching for an ultra portable, compact mini USB-C charger powerful enough to charge any gadget, the Sharge might be worth more investigation. The pocket sized 65 W USB-C charger capable of charging your laptop, tablet and mobile phone simultaneously thanks to its multiple charging ports.

Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about the small single charger equipped with 2 x USB-C and 1 USB-A port. Launched via Kickstarter this month the campaign is already raised over $30,000 thanks to over 500 backers with still 24 days remaining.

Early bird pledges are available offering a 61% discount off the recommended retail price and start from just $49 or roughly £38. The Kickstarter campaign is successful and manufacturing progresses smoothly worldwide shipping is expected to take place during April 2020.

“SHARGE is a revolutionary 65W GaN quick wall charger that’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, yet powerful enough to fast charge three devices at the same time. And with it, you’ll never need another wall charger for your laptop, tablet, smartphone, or devices again.

We all know how inconvenient it is to carry separate bulky chargers for each laptop, tablet, and mobile phone to keep them powered through the day. Even though laptops are getting thinner and lighter year by year, manufacturers continue to ship huge, heavy chargers with them.

As avid travelers ourselves, we knew there must be a better way. That’s why we decided to dive deep into R&D, exploring how we could make the smallest possible one-stop solution for powering every smart device on the market. The result of this R&D — and over a year of sweat and tears — is SHARGE: the world’s smallest and lightest 3-port 65W quick charger, powered by GaN.”
