Hi can anyone tell me if these new MacBook Pro’s are expected to be lighter than current ones and also are we expecting any new design on the MacBook Air?
Thanks

It's actually both bigger and heavier than the original 12" MacBook. I bought my wife an M1 Air as a 12" replacement and she likes the technology but misses the original form factor.What’s wrong with the Air? Its light and easy to carry
I still think that you will see two processor options a Intel i9 to satisfy users that still need some issues yet to be addressed and a M1X. We are still in a processor shortage and Apple can get Intel processors pretty regularly still. Could be that the MacBook Pro 14 will be a M1X processor but the MacBook Pro 16 will still be an Intel for 1 more generation of product.
Like we have seen, Apple is not getting rid of the Xeon processor yet for the Mac Pro tower.

So, where there any instances of these new MBP's in the wild as they were being developed? Anyone know what they might have inside? Either I haven't seen them, or there haven't been any reports form website logs showing the new magic machines as they were being developed. Were there any?
I will bet you $100 USD that the 16" is Apple Silicon. Care to wager?

But what's under the hood? Where are the leaked logs from certain websites that usually come out before a new hotness is released. Are they yet to come?
The article starts with: "Apple suppliers..."
I thought the only supplier for the MacBook Pro is Quanta Computer?

As I remember, there have been as many as three 'suppliers' of that model in the past.
I was hoping for NO rumor of a 12 inch MB. What a turd of a machine. Stay gone, 12 MacBook. Just.Stay.Gone.
I think it would make sense to slot the 14" in at the current high end 13" price and the base 16" at the base 15" price. That's what I'm hoping for at least. With EDU pricing, that's $1699 for the base 14". Selling my 2018 Mac Mini for about $400, I'll need about $1,420 to get the base 14". Currently have $1k saved up.
is that pretty much what they did with the Mac Mini, Air and Pro 13" M1 machines? Matched the previous gen Intel prices?
That happens infrequently these days and if my memory serves me well when they do theyre closer to the actual release. Definitely not a check box. And even if it were, we dont have any for and intel variant. It would be totally insane to release an intel portable at this point. Insane.
Oh, I agree. Apple and Intel are definitely done, at least in the portable notebook genre. For good, or bad, Intel *processors* aren't going to happen. Other Intel chips are a possibility, but who knows...
They look thinner, and more angular. I would hope for a larger battery. Weight is a tradeoff... I would hope for a larger battery. The thinner bezels are awesome. We'll all see when they are birthed. I'm sure they will be very popular. People have been clambering for an update after the release of the smaller models earlier.
9 Months ago every one was so exited about the new iMac and how it was going to change everything. Now we get articles about the iMac like this.

I always say be careful what you wish for when, changing to a new system architecture. Wow I now get 14 hours of battery life and less fan noise. But what was taken away to give you this ability, that not every one cares about.
I don't need my Mac to be a iPhone.
The ultrathin new iMac lost a lot more than size
Apple sliced the size of the redesigned iMac down, way down. The half-inch desktop computer shows how Apple’s obsession with thin design can work against us, writes tech columnist Geoffrey A. Fowler. Here's what survived the chopping block.

As my 16" MBP had to be sent for repair I bought the cheapest M1 Air. To my surprise that wasn't a bad experience at all, in contrary. My 16" returned but I actually do prefer the Air for day to day use as its way more responsive. Looking forward to the 16" Mx MBP.
Slightly off-thread but still this Autumn’s M1X topic - anyone think there’s a chance we will see something labelled as a Mac Mini Pro instead of just a higher tier Mac Mini?
I'd wager unlikely, but who knows. They did call a Mini a server at one time. I'd be in favor of a bulked up Mini that would be 'pro-level', but it would be an interesting marketing issue for them.
The 16 will 100% have and M1X/m2x option, I don’t see with all the thermal issues how and why apple would try to accommodate an intel chip in the new design.
where you may be right is there could feasibly be an update to the existing design with newer intel chips, I don’t see this happening but it’s more likely than having intel in the new chassis design. imho
Extremely unlikely, can't share proof bcoz of ©please don't forget a 64GB option
Well, from what I have they removed SecDis, so anything is possible.
