Macbook Pro 2017 Specs Rumors: No 32 GB RAM?
Early predictions say that the next MacBook Pro refresh for 2017 might get support for up to 32 GB random access memory if Intel will manufacture the Cannonlake processors in time when Apple needs it.
This year, Apple is expected to launch a new line of upgraded MacBook Pros running with the Intel's seventh generation Kaby Lake chips. Unfortunately, when the company subtly launched an update for the 9.7-inch iPad, iPad Mini 4, iPhone SE, and the new red iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, no new MacBook Pros were announced.
According to MacWorld, the noted analyst from KGI Securities, Ming-Chi Kuo, earlier told investors that the next MacBook Pro lineup is more likely going to support as much as 32 GB RAM under the condition that Intel Cannonlake makes it on time with Apple's roadmap for Macs.

However, MacWorld reports that in Kuo's more recent note to investors released last February, the refresh for the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros will sport the Kaby Lake chips and will enter manufacturing by the third quarter of 2017, to be released late this year.
On the other hand, Cannonlake-run MacBook Pros are expected to enter production by the fourth quarter of 2017, which means they are more likely to go on sale sometime in 2018.
Meanwhile, fans of the MacBook Pro products can relax and believe that the Cupertino, California company is dedicated to continuously developing the Macs. As has been reported, Apple's chief executive officer Tim Cook earlier promised: "You will see us do more in the pro area. The pro area is very important to us. The creative area is very important to us in particular."
Recently, the MacBook Pro 2016 is proving to be performing really well in the battery department. Consumer organization Which? recently found out that the MacBook Pro 2016 actually slightly exceeds the battery life performance as advertised.
In Which?'s recent test, they learned that the MacBook Pro 13" can actually last up to 12 hours while Apple only promised 10.
