New MacBook Pro Lineup Announced With More Powerful M1 Pro/Max Chipsets And Fresh Designs

Apple’s new MacBook Pro lineup will be available in 14-inch and 16-inch variants.

MacBook Pro 2021 Specifications

Apple’s new MacBook Pro lineup gets a refresh from its old design with a notch on its display and few other hardware changes. The display is a Liquid Retina XDR display, which means that the MacBook Pro essentially consists of a Mini-LED array behind its LCD panel, which we also saw in the new iPad Pro refresh. Speaking of the display, the new MacBook Pro consists of the much awaited ProMotion technology, also previously seen on the iPad Pro. This brings adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz on the mini-LED display.

On the inside, the new MacBook Pro’s are powered by the beastly M1 Pro and M1 Max with up to 64GB of unified memory. The M1 Pro and M1 Max bring a 10 core CPU and up to a 32 core GPU on the table.

The 16 core neural engine and the ProRes accelerators ensure beastly performance that Apple claims is up to 70% more powerful than the vanilla M1.
