New 13-inch MacBook Pro Reportedly Coming Next Month

It looks like a new version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro is coming sooner than expected, with leaks claiming that Apple will be making the announcement as early as next month. The company will reportedly announce it with the code name J223, which is according to the previously-reliable YouTuber and leaker Jon Prosser.

This lines up with what previous reports have said in the past, with Ming-Chi Kuo claiming that Apple will release a new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air in the second quarter of 2020. Seeing as they launched the MacBook Air last month, it looks like the MacBook Pro will soon be following suit. It would make sense that it would be a refresh for the 13-inch model and not the 16-inch model, considering the 16-inch model released five months ago.

It is possible that there might be some notable tweaks for this upcoming refresh, with the the new model doing more than just improving the specs. According to Prosser, it’s likely that Apple will be bumping the display size up from 13″ to 14″, with a 14″ screen being brought up in reports in the past. This would mean that the 14″ model would become the new smaller version of the MacBook Pro, discontinuing the 13″ model.

It’s also expected that this new laptop will feature a scissor keyboard, nixing the butterfly keyboard of the last model that has been less than well-received. The current 13″ MacBook Pro keyboards can suffer from issues like sticky or unresponsive keys, which resulted in a worldwide repair program in 2018. They went back to the scissor mechanism for the new Magic Keyboard on the 16-inch model, so it’s likely this upcoming one will follow suit.

Of course, we need to take this information with a grain of salt considering that it is not from Apple themselves. However, Prosser has been reliable in the past, so this one is worth keeping an eye on. We’ll be sure to bring you the official information as soon as it becomes available.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
