Built upon and leapfrogging the technology used in both the high‑end Pro Display XDR, and the Liquid Retina XDR display used in the latest 12.9‑inch iPad Pro, it really is stunningly good. And, for the first time, the 14‑inch model can be configured with the same specifications as the larger model.Īpple have a justifiably high reputation when it comes to displays, and there probably aren’t enough superlatives in the English language to describe this one. This weighs in at 3.5lbs (1.6kg) with a height of 1.55cm and a size of 31.26 x 22.12 cm. However, if you want the same features in a slightly lighter and smaller form factor, Apple also offer a new 14‑inch MacBook Pro.
The 16‑inch model is almost but not quite the same size as the previous Intel MacBook, but at 4.8lb (2.2kg) to the older machine’s 4.3lb (2kg), it’s a little heavier. And as always, the MacBook Pro’s precisely machined bodywork is part of an “advanced thermal system” that makes it possible to achieve sustained performance without fan noise. The sleek design of the new MacBook Pro is, as many have remarked, reminiscent of the first ‘Titanium’ PowerBook G4 that debuted in 2001. Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, even began the keynote by saying the event was about two things: “Macs and music”. What’s more, nearly every Apple executive featured in the launch presentation emphasised the important role music plays at the company. The latest generation of MacBook Pros are perhaps equally revolutionary, being the first notebooks Apple have designed from the ground up to fully embrace their latest custom silicon. IBM would refine this approach with the help of German‑born designer Richard Sapper, launching the ThinkPad a year later, and the rest is history. The PowerBook 100, 140 and 170 helped set the template for the modern laptop, incorporating now‑cornerstone design features like the palm rest below the keyboard. October 2021 marks the 30th anniversary of Apple’s first notebook computers.
Apple’s most powerful laptop computer ever has been explicitly designed with music in mind.
