MacBooks account for 9 percent of the company's total revenue.
The new keyboard follows the "scissor" mechanism more commonly found in the industry.
The iPhone maker switched back to the mechanism, discarding the "butterfly" keyboards, after it received complaints of sticky, unresponsive keys and keystrokes that failed to register when tiny amounts of dust or debris accumulated under or near keys.
The updated version will provide double the storage of its predecessor, with a capacity of up to 1 terabyte.
The company also said the new MacBook Pro will be available in select stores later this week.
