Right now, the MacBook uses Intel's 14nm Broadwell-Y Core M processor, and it's likely that Apple will use a new Intel Core M processor for the new 2016 model of the MacBook. However, there has been some chatter about the possibility of an A10X processor for the laptop. We think the latter is unlikely, but we certainly can't rule it out.

If our prediction is correct, the new MacBook will have Intel's 14nm Core M chip. However, that could mean a wait until late in 2016 for the new MacBook if Apple wants the newest chips, as Intel's tablet processor map suggests that the Core m5/m7 chips with the 14nm fabrication process are expected in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Will the 12in MacBook replace the MacBook Air?
Apple's MacBook Air is now eight years old, so it's quite possible that the MacBook is lining up to replace it in the near future. When the MacBook Air first launched its biggest selling point was its thin and light design, hence the name, but the MacBook now outshines it in those areas so it seems unlikely that the MacBook Air has much of a future ahead of it. Plus, for those looking for ultimate portability there's the new iPad Pro with a 12.9in screen.

There is the question of price, though â€“ the MacBook is much more pricey than its Air sibling, starting at £1,049 compared with the Air's £749 starting price.

Here's why it doesn't matter that the MacBook is expensive, underpowered and only has one port

The last time that there was a Mac laptop that had more advanced specs than a more expensive model was the old MacBooks (white and black, and then eventually aluminium). These were eventually discontinued and the price of the MacBook Air reduced. It seems likely that the same will happen with the new MacBook models replacing the MacBook Air models at a lower price than they are now, at least eventually.

According to trusted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the 12in MacBook is now Apple's best-selling computer, closely followed by the 13in MacBook Pro, which adds further fuel to the rumour that it'll next year replace the MacBook Air thanks to its popularity.

That said, there are plenty of rumours about a new MacBook Air already, including a particularly persistent one that suggests the 11in MacBook Air is about to be ditched in favour of a 15in model to join the 13in. See more MacBook Air rumours here. Despite this, both are great to type on. The Smart Keyboard has a woven fabric coating that feels good to the touch and provides no gaps to the sides of the keys for a water- and stain-resistant finish - something the Type Cover canâ€™t offer. Key spacing on both is just like a proper keyboard, so thereâ€™s no irksome re-learning of key placement if switching between a full-size keyboard or either iPad Pro or Surface Pro 4.
Surface Pro 4 vs iPad Pro: Pen or Pencil?

Inside the Lumia 950 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor which is hexa-core and found in other phones such as the LG G4. With 3GB of RAM to go with it performance is generally smooth as we've found with most previous Lumias.
Screen transitions are silky and the camera loads quickly after the first time. However, occasional things do take a while presenting those circling dots, even loading elements of the Store and settings menu. We've also found numerous bugs in Windows 10 which we'll talk about in the software section below.
As standard there is 32GB of storage which is double a lot of rivals. That's the only option for the Lumia 950 but there is a Micro-SD card slot which means you can add up to 200GB more. Windows 10 takes up about 5GB of the internal storage.

The removable cover not only gives access to the card slot but also the battery which a lot of users will be pleased to hear is removable. It's 3000mAh in capacity and the Lumia 950 supports both Fast Charging and Qi wireless charging. Microsoft has opted for a Type-C USB port which is reversible and the phone charged from completely dead to 30 percent in 30 minutes.

Microsoft quotes 10 hours of video playback and we've found battery life to be fairly good. It depends on how you use the phone of course, and we can't compare with our usual figures since Geekbench 3 isn't available on the platform. Lighter users *may* get a couple of days from the Lumia 950 while most will have to charge every night. The combination of charging features means it's easy to keep the phone topped up and you can carry a spare battery around if you wish.
On the connectivity front, the Lumia 950 has a lot of modern features. It offers 11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC, GPS and 4G LTE support (Cat 6).
In the past Lumia phones have had some insane cameras such as the 41Mp shooter on the Lumia 1020. The Lumia 950 has a more modest 20Mp camera which is more what we're used to seeing and doesn't require a huge lump on the back to fit it in, just a small one.

Hereâ€™s where things get really interesting. As both iPad Pro and Surface Pro 4 have touch-sensitive screens, both can benefit from the use of a stylus, known as the Surface Pen and Apple Pencil, pencil case fans. Microsoft includes the Pen in the box, whereas the Apple Pencil costs £79.
So, Pen or Pencil? Again, we really like both. The Pencil is a smaller, more slender design thatâ€™s uncomplicated and feels as close to a proper drawing implement as weâ€™ve used in the digital space. Itâ€™s got accuracy down to a single pixel which can really be felt and seen, all depending on the virtual tips you choose and angle at which you come to the screen.
The Pen also delivers a strong show but, for us, feels more functional. It has an eraser button that doubles-up as a quick-access button, the nib provides 1,024 levels of pressure, and there are optional accessory nibs available (sold separately).
In terms of battery life, the Pencil has a Lightning connector on board, which can suck-up 30-minutes of power by connecting to the iPad Pro for just 15-seconds; fully charge it and itâ€™ll last for 12-hours. By contrast the Pen has a built-in replaceable, not rechargeable, battery that is said to last for up to a year - then itâ€™s a case of buying another when itâ€™s depleted. Two very different ways of thinking.

11. Covergirlâ€™s STAR WARS Makeup Collection: Stephen Colbert riffed on this aspect of the forceâ€™s omnipresence in our community, and for good reason.The cosmetics company offers Dark Side Mascara ($6.85), Outlast Nail Polish ($5.49), Coloricious Lipstick ($6.99) and waterproof Light Side Mascara ($6.85). Also in the mix: "Nemisis," Mutant," "Speed of Light" and "Red Revenger" lipsticks, mascara and nail polishes. Perfect stocking stuffers for the Leia-friendly ladies of the world!

12. Devon Star Wars Watch. This limited-edition offering is explained thusly by the watchmaker: "Using technology taken from the cockpits of modern airliners, Devon created a system of four microstep motors powered by a hybrid electro-mechanical source, along with an optical recognition system that tells time more precisely than any purely mechanical watch made today.â€ Another way to describe it is this: Ex-pen-sive, what with its $28,500 price tag.

Laptop Mode Tools is an application that gives users complete power over their laptop in an effort to enhance the overall life of the battery.The Windows machine is the cheaper of the two devices, starting at £1,099 while the 15in Mac Pro starts at £1,599.However, some enormous savings are now on offer for the 2015 iterations of the MacBook 15-inch and 12-inch thanks to rumours of the 2016 MacBooks launching early next year.

Clearly a number of retailers are trying to clear their shelves to make space for the brand new laptops next year and the fact discounts have started so early has got tongues wagging that itâ€™ll launch in early 2016 rather than at the end of the first quarter as other Macbooks usually launch.
