#MACBOOK PRO POWER CORD KEEPS FALLING OUT FULL#
And both the M1 Pro and M1 Max have a dedicated engine for ProRes encoding and decoding that video producers will take full advantage of. If that’s not enough performance, Apple offers the M1 Max, which boosts the GPU cores up to 32.
If you have any experience with the M1, that claim seems outrageous when you consider how fast the M1 is compared to the Intel chips it replaced. It also has more than twice the number of transistors than the M1, and Apple says the M1 Pro’s CPU performance is up to 70 percent faster than the M1. The M1 Pro looks impressive, with memory bandwidth that Apple says is nearly three times that of the M1 that shipped about a year ago. But if you look closer, there are a few areas where Apple could have done just a little more with its newest MacBooks. Even as I studied the specs online, I had to stop, pause, and mull over what I just read since there was so much to absorb.īut now that I’ve pored over all of the details, I’m left with a few nagging complaints, particularly with the 14-inch MacBook Pro, which seems like the perfect machine for $1,999, with an M1 Pro a mini-LED display, and an array of new ports. The processors, specs and features for the new laptops are overwhelming-so much so that it was hard to keep up with all the details flying by during the event video. The unveiling of the new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro on Monday was an occasion I’ve been anxiously waiting for, and it did not disappoint.
