While earlier reports suggested that Apple will be unveiled a new 13-inch MacBook at its event, it appears that there will be two additional MacBook Pro models, 13.3-inch and 15.4-inch, all featuring Intel's Skylake CPUs, USB Type-C ports, the OLED function row, known as the Magic Toolbar and more.

It appears that Apple will be getting rid of the traditional USB ports on its next lineup, but while there will be a new MacBook notebook and two MacBook Pro models at the event, it appears that Apple will not be announcing a new MacBook Air or iMac systems, at least not according to new rumors.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst which has a good track record when it comes to Apple rumors, the new MacBooks will rely on Intel Skylake CPUs, which is a big surprise considering that Kaby Lake architecture brings a lot of video encoding/decoding improvements, which should reflect on both general and battery life performance.

Currently, there are a couple of listings for these three new Macbook systems, but we'll know for sure on Thursday, 27th of October.
