Apple Announces New 13-inch MacBook Pro With M1 Chip, Starting at $1,299

[Serban55]

16GB RAM Max on all the new M1 laptops and Mini?

unified memory, no need for more for this type of macs

 

[Keniutek]

I will wait for 14" MBP, with smaller bezels, and let first adopters test out this 13" iteration.

Smart man

“In the interim, Apple teased new Intel-based Macs in development, including an updated 27-inch iMac released in August. Apple said that it will continue to support and release new versions of macOS for Intel-based Macs for years to come.”

How many years? We just purchased a MBP and 27” iMac. I’m hoping it’ll be more than just a few years! Yes, I knew this was coming, but for our needs, we couldn’t wait.

Keep the iPhone 12. I’ll take two of these though.

I am disappointed that the display still is at 60hz. I would rather use 1080p at 144hz than a 4k display running at 60hz.

Seems like a pretty small difference between the Air and Pro.

 

[Just sayin...]

It looks like the Mac Mini, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models all have the same 2TB storage / 16GB RAM limitations. The Air looks fine for me, but for others??? I’d imagine there are professionals out there where a 16GB RAM cap is just too low...

 

[djcerla]

Wintel is completely toast. It’over.

 

[CheesePuff]

up to 16 GB? WTF? Even iPhones have merely more than that...

you're confusing RAM with storage...

 

[Steve121178]

That's incredible performance and battery life and available next week as expected.

Let’s see the reviews first...

 

[yanksrock100]

I’ll be getting the Pro

 

[RyanFlynn]

I hope “one more thing” means a 16” mpb

 

[vipergts2207]

No 16” MBP huh? Maybe there’s hope for one more Intel-based version.

 

[RyanFlynn]

I hope “one more thing” means a 16” mpb

Just ended, guess not haha

 

[bibby]

Their product design is so dated, does anyone do that at this company since Johnny left?

Those borders around the screen... ugh.

Bezelapple.

 

[falkon-engine]

Incredible. But only two thunderbolt ports? Also, no mention of whether it has WiFi 6...

Edit: it has WiFi 6.

 

[RevTEG]

Sorry if I missed it, but is the 13 inch fanless like the air?

 

[dogslobber]

Meh. Chunky bezels remain and it's had a bit of a spec bump. Nothing to see here.

 

[nvmls]

wtf no 16"?!

 

[Browz]

Anyone else think it was a weird choice to unveil their chip in the low-end Macs before unveiling it for the MacBook Pro?

 

[Eorlas]

So, better cooling, battery life and two thunderbolt ports?

this is the first time im gonna say it, and i'll say it strong: this is not a pro device. they took the exact same chip showed off for a macbook air and a mac mini, slapped pro on it and then somehow claimed this sucker is going to perform way better, and called it "pro"

not even like an M2 or M1X, it's the same processor. no mention of it being higher clock speed, higher ram, better gpu, etc in the base config at this higher price.

 

[macnchiefs]

Sorry if I missed it, but is the 13 inch fanless like the air?

No

 

[flibberti-gibbeti]

HOT DAMNNNN 😍

 

[Eorlas]

Anyone else think it was a weird choice to unveil their chip in the low-end Macs before unveiling it for the MacBook Pro?

yes, because now it gives me the impression that the 13" pro is just a $300 more expensive macbook air with the same internals.

Super bummed that there's no 1080p webcam. That seems crazy at this point. Otherwise it looks great.
