The latest Apple MacBook Pro has landed with a new design, display and processor. Is the 2021 M1 Pro (or M1 Max) MacBook Pro the best ever? ForbesVetted sifts through the particulars in this review
Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch: DesignThe new MacBook Pro looks just great. It has a flatter lid and base than before, evoking earlier MacBooks while still looking all-new. The Apple logo on the lid is much bigger than before and is very striking. It makes the older, smaller logo look suddenly puny.
The result is that this is the Goldilocks laptop. The display looks easily big enough for most people to find immersive and attractive, in a device that’s over a pound lighter than the 16-inch version. So it’s super-portable and easily big enough for detailed work. Otherwise, the keys are unchanged, with the same extravagantly comfortable travel as on the Magic Keyboard found on the last-gen machines. It remains the most comfortable PC keyboard I’ve used.The speed of performance in these new laptops is evident from the second you open the lid. As mentioned above, where the previous 16-inch MacBook Pro took a second or two for the screen to come on—not exactly a hardship—here it springs into life instantaneously.
How about if you have the MacBook Pro with M1 chip from last year? That’s a slightly tougher call as the M1 brought with it amazing performance, strong battery life and more. But, the additional inch of screen size is worth having and, of course, the bright, detailed display is hard to beat. Plus, the new variety of connections—SD card, HDMI and MagSafe—all add up. And now, you can have up to 64GB of RAM with the M1 Max, where last year’s models were restricted to 16GB.
