But for now, heres everything thats actually worth knowing about them.
Theres a new keyboard design similar to the Magic Keyboard, with a full function row at the top.
And yes, the Touchbar is finally no more.
The MacBook Pros now have edge-to-edge displays, so the thick-bezels are a thing of the past.
The downside though, is the notch.
You cant miss it.
It houses a 1080p webcam and ambient light sensors.
But theres no Face ID in there.
Apple has increased the menu bar height just for the notch.
Plus, we get three USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports.
The base model M1 Pro chip is an 8-core CPU, but all models above are 10-core.
The M1 Max is a 10-core CPU (with two high-efficiency cores).
And the M1 itself was already one of the fastest chips on the market.
The MacBook Pros also finally get up to 64 GB unified memory.
The M1 Pro only goes up to 32 GB.
And heres the kicker: You configure both the 14 and 16-inch models with the M1 Max processor.
This is thanks to the fact that GPUs are relatively easier to scale.
You add more cores…and Apple has added a lot of cores.
And you might actually get a 32-core GPU option as well.
The edge-to-edge screen gets ProMotion and mini-LED
The MacBook Pro also gets Apples Liquid Retina Display XDR.
Its a mini-LED display, with a variable refresh rate.
This means the screen can refresh between 24Hz and 120 Hz.
It has 1,000 nits sustained peak brightness, and it can go up to 1,600 nits for HDR content.
Theres crazy long battery life
The new MacBook Pros have fast charging, and long battery life.
you’re free to charge up to 50% in 30 minutes using a Thunderbolt 4 port.
But these MacBook Pros are expensive
The only downside to these pro machines?
Apple is now starting the MacBook Pros at $1999.
Right now, that market belongs to the 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro.
So what did you think of the new MacBook Pros?
Are they everything you hoped they would be?
And is the notch going to stop you from buying one?
