Apple just updated the MacBook Pro in July, but it looks like the company may launch another new laptop before the year is over.

In addition to unveiling new iPhones, iPads, and an Apple Watch this fall, Apple will also reportedly introduce a new MacBook Pro that’s larger than any laptop the company currently offers.

Here’s a look at everything we know about the giant new MacBook Pro Apple is expected to launch this year.

Apple’s next MacBook Pro could have a screen that’s 16 inches or larger, according to reports from Bloomberg and Taiwanese outlet Economic Daily. IHS Markit and TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo have also made similar predictions, according to Forbes and 9to5Mac.

If Apple does release a 16-inch MacBook Pro, it would be the largest laptop Apple has launched since the 17-inch MacBook Pro from 2011.

Apple’s 16-inch MacBook Pro will reportedly have an LCD screen supplied by LG with a resolution of 3072 x 1920, according to IHS Markit via Forbes. That indicates the laptop’s screen will have a higher resolution than the current 15-inch MacBook Pro, which has a 2880 x 1800 resolution display.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro will reportedly have slimmer bezels around its screen, therefore allowing Apple to extend the display size without actually making the laptop larger. That would make the 16-inch MacBook Pro about the same size as the 15-inch MacBook Pro when it comes to the device’s overall footprint, according to Bloomberg.
