When was newest macbook pro released

We'll also explain how two of the top PC laptops try to compete, and win on pricing, while another pair win at gaming. Delays, though, are already piling up as demand skyrockets. We really wish the lower-end inch MacBook Pro had been updated along with these new models. Or Apple could have found another concession. Of course, it gets more expensive if you do. The inch MacBook Pro isn't just a new size for Apple's high-end laptops, it's also a part of a new era.

For years, the MacBook Pro got very small, and pretty boring updates. This year? Nearly everything's different, as Apple's thrown out the tapered lid for a flat top, and even engraved "MacBook Pro" on the bottom.

More importantly, though, Apple's shrunk most of the MacBook Pro's bezels. Now, they measure a little more than 0. There is one exception, though: Apple gave the MacBook Pro a notch. Yes, the little black rectangular space for cameras in the iPhone made it to the top-center of the MacBook Pro display.

It's 0. I've already gotten used to it, and I'm more than accepting of it. The thinner bezels allow Apple to move the Menu Bar to the freed up space, and the notch only drops down far enough to be in that menu bar. Unfortunately, the MacBook Pro notch is already becoming an issue for some.

Tech enthusiast Quinn Nelson explained that he's already hit issues with the iStat Menus utility, when the Menu Bar options on the left and the icons on the right hit a breaking point. Seems like Apple needs to address this with an update, and developers should be advised with how to prevent this. The only other "new" change is that the left and right vents, for heat and audio, are larger than before.

It's something I bet I'll get used to. Look at the inch MacBook Pro side by side with the inch MacBook Pro, and tell me you'd take the latter, with its smaller screen and thicker bezels. Sure, no notch would be better, but it's a decent compromise. Measuring Interestingly, though, the inch MacBook Pro is thinner, if you drill down to centimeters, where it's 1.

But whose eyes are going to perceive that? The Unsurprisingly, the new MacBook Pro inch 14 x 9. You may also be considering the larger and heavier We'll excuse the Surface Laptop Studio's larger design, however, as it's got an easel-like touchscreen display that you can pull towards you.

It's the kind of feature that we'd love to see Apple play with, though they'd need to accept touchscreen laptops into their hearts first. I'm picking the latter when I buy mine, though I'll only see that color on the bottom half of the machine, as I'm covering the lid in stickers I've collected while waiting for the last five years.

This is more like it. The inch MacBook Pro trades Apple's previous philosophy — essentially "USB-C dongles are good enough" — for most of the ports that people need. One, though, is still in absentia. Apple and its fans spent years extolling the laptop-saving virtues of this magnetically-attaching power jack, which simply pops out whenever a more-than-minor amount of tension is applied.

On the right side, you have a third Thunderbolt 4 port and two more ports that pros basically demanded return to the Mac: HDMI-out and an SD card reader. These are crucial for anyone who extends their display or plugs in a camera memory card respectively. I've got multiple: my Blue Yeti microphone , plus my wireless mouse and keyboard.

Using these accessories on the go shouldn't require carrying an adapter with you. An aluminium unibody remains, although the bezels have been shunk to just 3. That means that this new MacBook is closer in design to some of the older models, from the outside at least. There's a three-mic array and a six speaker audio system, comprised of two tweeters and four woofers, which boosts the sound, supporting deeper tones and increased volume while also offering Spatial Audio.

The backlit Magic Keyboard remains, as does the Force Touch trackpad, so the actual use of the new MacBook Pro should feel much like the last.

There's a big update to the displays, moving across to Mini LED technology - as found in the iPad Pro - and bumping up the resolution. The inch model will have a x pixel resolution, while the inch model is x pixels. Both these displays support ProMotion, that's Apple's name for Hz refresh, so they move into line with the iPhone and iPad and should make for super smooth graphics.

You'll be able to lock down the refresh rate to something else if you prefer. There's now a peak brightness of nits, while they can sustain nits, which is really bright.

There's True Tone to adapt the display to ambient light conditions, while maintaining full support for HDR content and offering a wide colour gamut. The notch at the top is literally just there for the camera, but as the Menu Bar runs across the top, that notch won't interfere with your content. But the biggest redesign is saved for the internals of the Mac.

There's a whole other story here about Apple's new M1 Pro and M1 Max hardware , which builds on the work started by the M1 in and takes things up a notch.

Build on 5nm architechture, Apple has engineering its hardware to cater for the Pro user and make sure that no one is left missing Intel. There's performance and graphical boosts across the board, with Apple promising performance that will outstrip just about anything else out there, with both models getting access to the new M1 Pro, or the even more power M1 Max.

Battery life is boosted, with 17 hours of video playback promised from the inch model and 21 hours from the inch model - although you're unlikely to be watching video for that length of time. But, the new silicon is more efficent, so long life is promised, without a drop in performance when you step away from the power supply. Perhaps more excitingly, the new models see the return of MagSafe, while this now also supports fast charging - so you can get 50 per cent charge in 30 minutes, which sounds ideal.

Here is everything we heard about the inch and inch MacBook Pros before they were made official. According to industry leaker , Dylandkt via 9to5Mac , the MacBook Pros will come with miniLED displays, smaller bezels with no bottom logo, a p webcam and both the inch and inch models will offer a base M1X confirguration. Apple officially confirmed 18 October is the date the company will be hosting its next media event, where the Cupertino giant is expected to unveil a series of new inch and inch redesigned MacBook Pros.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman published his Power On newsletter detailing a couple of extra details about upcoming Apple devices, mentioning the M1X MacBook Pro and claiming it would arrive before the two-year anniversary of the previous inch MacBook Pro. We had already heard rumours that Apple was considering dropping the Touch Bar from the MacBook Pro range, and insight from industry analysts and their sources back up the claims made in January.

Apple also unveiled its new third-generation AirPods or AirPods 3 , which are also available to order now, as well as new colors for the HomePod Mini. Here's how to buy the new MacBook Pros that Apple announced this month.
