Apple has announced it is updating its MacBook Pro 15-inch retina screen model, by adding a 'Force Touch' trackpad, faster flash storage, longer battery life and faster discrete graphics.

The trackpad brings a new dimension of interactivity to the Mac, thanks to its built-in force sensors and a 'Taptic Engine' that delivers haptic feedback, allowing users to click anywhere with a uniform feel and customize the amount of pressure needed to register each click. The technology also supports a range of new gestures, including the 'Force' click.

The brand has also announced a new $1,999 configuration of the 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display featuring a 14.7 million pixel display, quad-core processors and AMD graphics.
