The new Pros are certainly not as easy to grab and go as a MacBook Air is, but what you sacrifice in portability you make up for in ports and power.Īn SD card reader, another Thunderbolt 4 port, and an HDMI port are on the right. The 16-inch is 4.7 pounds, 0.66 inches thick, 14.01 inches wide, and 9.77 inches deep. The 14-inch Pro weighs in at 3.5 pounds, and is 0.61 inches thick, 12.31 inches wide, and 8.71 inches deep. The new MacBook Pros, which come in silver and space gray, are unsurprisingly sizable, like the old giant MacBook Pros. (This reminded me I need a faster SD card.) The SD card reader supports UHS-II cards at up to 250 MB/s transfer speeds, which is slower than some had hoped, but I managed to import the contents of an outdated, completely full 16GB SDHC card-more than 2,500 photos and videos-to the MacBook Pro in 5 minutes and 25 seconds. The HDMI 2.0 port supports 4K TVs at 60fps. Versions with the M1 Pro can be used with two 6K external displays at 60Hz, and M1 Max models can be used with three 6K external displays and one 4K at 60Hz.

Apple has further pushed its custom M1 system-on-chip with the M1 Pro and M1 Max, and the 14-inch and 16-inch Pros can be configured with either processor (and also a ton of storage and RAM). The 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro are a serious upgrade over last year’s 13-inch MacBook Pros-the Intel version, obviously, but also the M1 overhaul. The new MacBook Pro is no different in that respect, but this is the first MacBook that feels like Apple is actually listening to what people want instead of forcing us to accept trade-offs for the sake of innovation. As part of my job, I’ve used a variety of MacBooks: ones with the bad butterfly keyboard, ones with the Touch Bar, ones with Intel processors and ones with Apple silicon. The white polycarbonate MacBook got me through college, a MacBook Air replaced it in my mid-20s, and then I graduated to a MacBook Pro when I needed to do more processor-intensive tasks for work. I’ve been using MacBooks since Apple first introduced the line back in 2006.
