For those that were waiting for the Mac Pro, you will need a little more patience as Apple has unveiled just the iMac Pro for now. "We reengineered the whole system and designed an entirely new thermal architecture to pack extraordinary performance into the elegant, quiet iMac enclosure our customers love - iMac Pro is a huge step forward and there's never been anything like it".

Despite the massive leap in computational power, Apple claims they will be able to maintain the same thin iMac design by increasing the cooling efficiency by up to 80%. All SSD storage options are now up to 50 percent faster while Thunderbolt 3 is onboard as well. 10Gb Ethernet is on board. Prices start at $1,099, for the regular 21.5 inched variant, while the 4K variant starts at $1,299.The 27 inched iMac begins at $1,799.

Updates to the 12-inch MacBook and flagship 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros also included Intel's Kaby Lake processors to make the laptops more efficient, and could result in improved battery life. The iMac Pro will also allow for up to 128GB ECC memory, along with up to 4TB using SSDs.

Apple's new MacBooks will run the firm's newly-outed macOS High Sierra operating system. When it's ready it will be distributed as a free update to compatible Macs from the Mac App Store.

High Sierra is now in developer preview but a public preview will arrive in late June.
