The 2016 MacBook Pro has been a favorite topic amongst tech observers in the past few months. With rumors that Apple will reveal the new laptop at the company's annual Worldwide Developers Conference or WWDC 2016, fans are pretty excited to know what is in store for them with this new device. New reports suggest that Apple will do a complete makeover on this year's MacBook Pro model.

According to the report, Apple has made a lot of changes to their flagship laptop and one of which is the function keys. Apparently, the company will no longer place the function keys on the top row of the device. It is reported that Apple will use a secondary OLED screen to change the design of the entire row, replacing the physical keys found on the previous models of Apple laptops.

Although the company has yet to confirm these reports, the newly designed MacBook Pro 2016 has already been spotted in some leaked images. The new concept photo of the laptop has already hit the Internet and it shows a clearer picture of its design.

Meanwhile, many tech observers suggest that the upcoming 2016 MacBook looks quite similar to the current 12-inch MacBook; however, it looks thinner and lighter compared to its predecessors. The idea to replace the physical function keys with an OLED display technology could be helpful for most users as it will provide more internal space.

Cult of Mac has recently obtained images of an alleged MacBook Pro device. The images not only show the OLED screen, tech observers also noticed the four USB-C inputs.

"There are a bunch of reasons why adding an OLED touchpad to the MacBook Pro is a great idea," noted by Cult of Mac. "The main one being the ability to customize those function keys to swap out shortcuts you don't use for ones you will. You could also add shortcuts for specific apps."
