The new MacBook Pro doubles the SSD storage to 512GB and 1TB on standard configurations. And for the first time, MacBook Pro can be configured with a staggering 8TB of storage -- the largest SSD ever in a notebook.

Paired with GDDR6 video memory and with an 8GB VRAM option for the first time, pro users will be able to tackle GPU-intensive tasks faster than ever, said Apple.

MacBook Pro features a 100Wh battery - the largest ever in a Mac notebook - for an additional hour of battery life of up to 11 hours of wireless web browsing or Apple TV app video playback.
