The M1\u2019s performance is stellar, but Apple has used it only in low-end models so far: the MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and new 24-inch iMac. For professionals looking for more power, Apple unveiled the future of high-end Macs at its October 18th <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/apple-events\/october-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unleashed<\/a> event.<\/p>\n<p>Two new chips\u2014the M1 Pro and M1 Max\u2014increase performance significantly beyond the M1, and Apple built them into new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models along with features that respond to criticisms of previous models.<\/p>\n<h3>AirPods, Apple Music, and Monterey Announcements<\/h3>\n<p>In a quick set of announcements at the start of its event, Apple revealed an update to the popular AirPods, and a budget pricing tier for Apple Music. Plus, press releases revealed the ship date for macOS 12 Monterey.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Third-generation AirPods:<\/b> Building on the success of the classic AirPods and AirPods Pro, Apple redesigned the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/products\/airpods-3rd-gen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">third-generation AirPods<\/a> to have shorter mic stalks, force sensor controls, support for spatial audio, Adaptive EQ, longer battery life, wireless case charging, and sweat and water resistance.

We strongly recommend that you do not upgrade to Monterey until we give the go-ahead. If you\u2019ve already upgraded to the other new operating systems, it should be safe to install those updates a week or two after release.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>New 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros Answer Customer Desires<\/h3>\n<p>Apple\u2019s professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/products\/macbook-pro-16-inch\/\">MacBook Pro<\/a> has been a workhorse of the Mac lineup for years, offering high-end performance in a portable package. Since 2016, however, customers have expressed irritation at Apple\u2019s removal of ports other than Thunderbolt 3, the loss of MagSafe magnetic charging, and the Touch Bar replacing traditional F-keys. Here\u2019s how the new MacBook Pros respond to those concerns.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Ports:<\/b> Previously, the MacBook Pro had just four Thunderbolt 3 ports, forcing users to carry dongles to connect to legacy devices. The new models still lack USB-A ports but supplement three Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB-C style) with an HDMI port for video, an SDXC card slot for camera media, and a headphone jack.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8813 alignnone lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/new-m1-pro-and-m1-max-chips-power-the-14-inch-and-16-inch-macbook-pros-4.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/new-m1-pro-and-m1-max-chips-power-the-14-inch-and-16-inch-macbook-pros-4.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/new-m1-pro-and-m1-max-chips-power-the-14-inch-and-16-inch-macbook-pros-13.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/new-m1-pro-and-m1-max-chips-power-the-14-inch-and-16-inch-macbook-pros-14.jpg 480w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"234\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/234;\" \/><\/li>\n<li><b>MagSafe:<\/b> Although you can charge using the Thunderbolt 4 ports, most people will rely on the dedicated MagSafe 3 charging port. The MacBook Pros (apart from the low-end 14-inch model) include powerful chargers and a USB-C to MagSafe 3 charging cable capable of fast-charging the devices. They should also provide longer battery life than previous models.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8815 alignnone lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/new-m1-pro-and-m1-max-chips-power-the-14-inch-and-16-inch-macbook-pros-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"575\" height=\"374\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 575px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 575\/374;\" \/><\/li>\n<li><b>F-keys with Touch ID:<\/b> The Touch Bar hasn\u2019t been a success, never migrating to any other Mac models and eliciting tepid support from developers. With these new MacBook Pros, Apple has reversed course, replacing the Touch Bar with traditional F-keys. A Touch ID sensor remains available for authentication at the top-right corner of the keyboard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although Apple did equip the 13-inch MacBook Pro with an M1 chip in November 2020, it wasn\u2019t notably faster than the cheaper but largely comparable M1-based MacBook Air. We suspect no one will be complaining about the performance of the new 14-inch and 16-inch models thanks to the addition of Apple\u2019s just-released M1 Pro and M1 Max chips.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8811 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/new-m1-pro-and-m1-max-chips-power-the-14-inch-and-16-inch-macbook-pros-6.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/new-m1-pro-and-m1-max-chips-power-the-14-inch-and-16-inch-macbook-pros-15.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/new-m1-pro-and-m1-max-chips-power-the-14-inch-and-16-inch-macbook-pros-16.jpg 480w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"464\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/464;\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>M1:<\/b> For reference, last year\u2019s M1 chip\u2014widely acclaimed for providing excellent performance\u2014offers an 8-core CPU with four performance and four efficiency cores, a 7-core or 8-core GPU, and either 8 GB or 16 GB of unified memory.<\/li>\n<li><b>M1 Pro:<\/b> The M1 Pro offers up to 1.7 times the performance of the M1 thanks to a 10-core CPU that has eight performance and two efficiency cores. Plus, its 16-core GPU is up to twice as fast as the M1. The M1 Pro provides either 16 GB or 32 GB of unified memory, and it increases the memory bandwidth by nearly three times, up to 200 gigabytes per second (GBps). To provide lower price points for 14-inch MacBook Pro configurations, Apple offers versions of the M1 Pro with an 8-core CPU (six performance and two efficiency cores) or a 14-core GPU.<\/li>\n<li><b>M1 Max:<\/b> The M1 Max has the same 10-core CPU as the M1 Pro but provides a massive 32-core GPU with up to four times the performance of the M1. The largest chip Apple has ever made, the M1 Max offers either 32 GB or 64 GB of memory, and it doubles the M1 Pro\u2019s memory bandwidth to 400 GBps, nearly six times faster than the M1. A lower-cost M1 Max configuration has a 24-core GPU.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both the M1 Pro and M1 Max feature an Apple-designed media engine that accelerates video processing while maximizing battery life. Both also have dedicated acceleration for the ProRes professional video codec for working with 4K and 8K video. The M1 Max doubles the M1 Pro\u2019s performance for video encoding and provides two ProRes accelerators. In other words, if you\u2019re working with video, these new Macs are going to scream, particularly with an M1 Max.<\/p>\n<p>Apple didn\u2019t stop after radically improving performance and bringing back beloved features. The new MacBook Pros feature new Liquid Retina XDR displays based on technology used in the latest iPad Pro models.<\/p>\n<p>Most notably, for those who need more screen space than the 13-inch MacBook Pro can provide, the new MacBook Pro models have higher resolution displays. The 14-inch screen has a 3024-by-1964 native resolution that\u2019s slightly larger than the previous 16-inch MacBook Pro (3072\u2011by\u20111920), and the new 16-inch model offers even more pixels with a 3456-by-2234 resolution. The new displays are more than twice as bright as the previous models, and they support ProMotion, which adjusts the screen refresh rate (and thus power consumption) to match the needs of the onscreen content.<\/p>\n<p>On the downside, Apple brought the new displays so close to the case edges that the new 1080p FaceTime HD camera (better videoconferencing quality but no Center Stage support) lives in an iPhone-like notch that cuts the Mac menu bar in half. Full-screen apps can avoid the notch. Although the notch isn\u2019t ideal, iPhone users seldom notice it after a short while, and we expect the same will be true here.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8812 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/new-m1-pro-and-m1-max-chips-power-the-14-inch-and-16-inch-macbook-pros-7.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/new-m1-pro-and-m1-max-chips-power-the-14-inch-and-16-inch-macbook-pros-17.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/new-m1-pro-and-m1-max-chips-power-the-14-inch-and-16-inch-macbook-pros-18.jpg 480w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"437\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/437;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The only other negative for the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models is weight. They\u2019re both about 0.4 pounds (0.18 kg) heavier than the models they replace, at 3.5 pounds (1.6 kg) for the 14-inch model and 4.7 or 4.8 pounds (2.1 or 2.2 kg) for the 16-inch model\u2014the M1 Max configurations are a bit heavier.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the notch and the weight, these are impressive new entries in the Mac lineup, and we anticipate they\u2019ll be well-received by users who are happy to pay more for top-of-the-line machines. The 14-inch MacBook Pro starts at $1999 and the 16-inch model at $2499. Numerous options are available, so you can choose an M1 Pro or M1 Max for either size, and pick from 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB unified memory configurations. When it comes to storage (which Apple says is also more than twice as fast as previous SSDs), your choices are 512 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB, 4 TB, and 8 TB.
