They feature 14.2-inch and 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR displays, respectively.
Looking at the MacBook Pro's screens makes it clear they're anything but retro, though. You can still charge the notebooks over USB-C - always useful in a pinch - but the MagSafe connection is less likely to cause accidental falls and you won't have to use a precious USB-C port just to stay powered up. Sure, you’ll still need adapters to connect older USB Type-A devices, but at least you can offload photos and video without extra gear. Joining three Thunderbolt 4 USB-C connections are a full-sized HDMI port, a MagSafe power connection, a high-impedance headphone jack and an SD card reader (cue triumphant horns).
In part it allowed Apple to cram in a lot more ports. That's about half a pound heavier than the last 16-inch MacBook Pro.Īll of that heft isn’t for naught, though. They're also heavier than you'd expect: the 14-inch model comes in at 3.5 pounds, while the 16-inch varies between 4.7 and 4.8 pounds, depending on the chip you choose. They're slightly thicker, with more bulbous edges that hearken back to Apple's notebooks from the 2000's. But lean in a bit closer and you'll notice some retro flourishes. The bigger model now starts at $2,499, $100 more than the Intel version.īoth notebooks still look like MacBook Pros, with sleek unibody aluminum cases. (The only exception is "High Power Mode," which gives the 16-inch M1 Max version a temporary speed boost.) That's one way I've come to terms with the high $1,999 starting price. It can do almost everything the 16-inch model can, it’s just smaller. It’s more an expansion of the highest-end model. Apple isn’t currently planning to replace the 13-inch model with the MacBook Pro 14.
