As always, there are some big open questions like performance and battery life, not to mention how it feels to use, including things like heat and noise. I’ll probably wait for the dust to settle a bit. Yes, there’s a notch, and yes I don’t feel amazing about that, particularly seeing there’s no Face ID.

Perhaps most impressively, Apple claims that the 32 GPU core version of its new M1 Max chip give it nearly as much power as the Nvidia RTX 3080 high-end gaming-grade laptop chip you’ll find in a similarly priced Razer Blade 15 Advanced.Īnd while Apple was busy making these improvements, it finally added a 1080p webcam too. I collected a bunch of those thoughts right here at the time, and Michael Tsai has more.įive years later, Apple is giving those pros everything they said they wanted.Īpple announces 16-inch MacBook Pro with new M1 Pro and M1 Max processors Apple announces new 14-inch MacBook Pro with a notch They ridiculed the tiny strip of touchscreen Apple built into the keyboard, decried the relative lack of RAM, the missing ports, and how Apple’s choice of GPU didn’t match up to the Windows competition. In the quest for ever-thinner and flashier laptops, Apple had seemingly forgotten why people bought the MacBook Pro in the first place - and pros were happy to point that out. The handy SD card slot for photographers and videographers, and the HDMI port to easily connect to monitors or TVs? Both axed seemingly in favor of selling us more overpriced dongles. The comfortable keyboard? Replaced with a too-thin slab that also became a nightmare for many a Mac user over the years, the butterfly switch mechanism so fragile a speck of dust could lay it low. But I convinced myself to wait another year for faster Intel chips - and in October 2016, Apple took away almost everything I admired about that Mac in one fell swoop. It would have been the first Mac I ever personally owned. I nearly bought my first MacBook Pro in 2015.
