Apple products keep going forward, and the new Apple MacBook Pros are the proof of that. The designs and the performance of these two new models are for the wins, and people are excited for those. To make things easier for you, I am going to break down some of the most important specs of them. So let’s see which one that you are going to choose between the M1 Pro and M1 Max.
Design
At a glance, you can easily tell the difference in the design of these new MacBooks right away. The Macs are more square in shape and they are a little thicker, with a cleaner and neater look. You will also see MacBook Pro stamped on the bottom of the laptop, in the center part of 4 raised feet. These rubber feet slightly elevate the laptop and they are barely noticeable which is very nice.
And if you don’t like the touch bar, these 2 new models offer just the thing you like. Apple does not include the touch bar anymore, and you get full-height function keys instead. The TouchID button is still there, and it can unlock your MacBook in less than a second.
Display
First of all, the display has a notch but it will grow on you after some time. Inside that notch is a new 1080p camera that delivers clearer and crisper images for your online meetings. For the first time, MacBook Pro provides a stunning Liquid Retina XDR display, making it the World’s Best Notebook Display today. The awesome part is the Mini LED display that supports 120Hz refresh rates in a full review.
Along with that, the displays are brighter without hurting your eyes even during long-hour use. There is also a new display engine that drives multiple external displays for a better display performance. Plus with the high-quality 4K and 8K ProRes video for the most satisfying viewing experience possible.
