It seems that Apple wants users who buy the new 2016 MacBook Pro to have the possibility of purchasing the new LG screens that they have been designed together with Apple especially for these new laptops.
In the last Keynote, Phil Schiller himself talked about how the Cupertino people had been collaborating with LG to launch two new monitors, the LG UltraFine Display 4K and 5K monitors. They are two monitors of 21,5 and 27 inches specially designed to complement the new MacBook PRO.
Apple has decided not to continue manufacturing its own brand monitors and have chosen to partner with LG to produce two new monitors, LG's 4K and 5K UltraFine Display Thus, the issue of whether or not they are going to manufacture new 4K and 5K Thunderbolt monitors is settled. Surely they would have looked at the sales of this device and have come to the conclusion that they are not interested in having an ongoing production of monitors, which LG is interested in.
Well, in the presentation of the MacBook Pro the monitors we are talking about had a price of 749 euros and 1399 euros depending on whether it was the 4K and 21,5 inches or the 5K and 27 inches and now if we enter on the Apple website we can see that They have drastically lowered their prices, finding us with the 21,5-inch at 561 euros and the 27-inch at 1049 euros.
To talk a bit about how the monitors are, we have that they only have UBS-C connections making their use much more direct with both the 12-inch MacBook and the MacBook Pro presented recently. Both monitors have extra USB-C ports on their body as well as speakers and in the case of the 27-inch, it also has a front camera and microphone.
Without a doubt it is a very good opportunity to get a monitor that looks very good and is going to be the perfect complement to the new Apple laptops. Price valid from October 27 to December 31, 2016 and a maximum of one per user.
