It’s nice to see Apple more clearly differentiating the smaller MacBook Pros. And the 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro had limitations that the 14-inch doesn't - it could only drive one external display, where Apple says that the M1 Pro-equipped MacBook Pro can drive two Pro Display XDRs, and the M1 Max version can drive three. Apple also added the Touch Bar in 2016, and that’s also been replaced by a set of function keys. The 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros are an about-face from AppleĬompared to that redesign, though, Apple’s new laptops seem to be an about-face - the 2016 redesign ditched the ports, and now they’re back. However, the M1 Pro included with the $1,999 base model is a trimmed-down version of the CPU - it only features eight CPU cores and 14 GPU cores.
NEW MAC PRO RELEASE DATE UPGRADE
The new MacBook Pro comes with 16GB of RAM standard, and you can upgrade to 32GB with the M1 Pro or 64 GB with the M1 Max. Both can feature 10 CPU cores - the Pro can have a 14- or 16-core GPU, while the Max has 24- and 32-core GPU options. You can configure the 14-inch MacBook Pro with Apple’s new M1 Pro or M1 Max chips.
The notch brings a better webcam, and pros that need fixed refresh rates can turn off ProMotion in settings. Resolution-wise, the 14-inch model runs at 3024 by 1964, and it can run at 1,000 nits sustained brightness and 1,600 nits peak brightness.
NEW MAC PRO RELEASE DATE 1080P
It has a 14.2-inch 120Hz ProMotion Mini LED display, which Apple is branding as “Liquid Retina Pro XDR.” It has slimmer bezels than the previous generation but also includes a notch, which houses a 1080p webcam but not Apple’s Face ID system. It starts at $1,999 and can be ordered “today.” Apple has announced a redesigned MacBook Pro, which now includes a 14-inch screen, Apple’s new M1 Pro and Max chips, a notch, squared-off design, and a wider selection of ports in addition to the standard Thunderbolt ones - it brings back the HDMI port and SD card reader and adds a MagSafe 3 connector for charging (though you can also charge it with the Thunderbolt ports if your house is littered with USB-C power bricks).
