A Macbook has been launched using a Touch ID fingerprint sensor.Images of the Macbook were leaked ahead of the laptop's launch on Thursday, showing that the technology will be used for transactions such as online Apple Pay payments.A fingerprint sensor features in the top right hand corner of device, with an LED display showing the details of a transaction.The sensor forms part of a new “touch bar” along the top of the computer that replaces the function keys, escape key and power button.The new computers are expected to have a thinner and lighter body than the existing range of MacBook Pros, and may potentially be the second computers from the company to abandon USB-A, the traditional connection standard, in favour of the slimmer, reversible USB-C.
