Apple Event Live Updates: MacBook Pro and AirPods 3 Announced! [Event Over]

[Orange Bat]

About $6100 for maxed out 16 inch. Of course that’s 8TB of storage, so….

 

[jaceapoc]

Apple still got it

 

[StupidOpinion]

i get that this thing has mini-led and is extremely fast, but the price is adding up very quickly. the $2000 14in notchbook has 8 core CPU and 14 core GPU. you need to spend $2400 to get the 10core/16core m1 pro

 

[!!!]

Jesus christ. $400 for 32GB of RAM? Guess I'll keep waiting to see if Framework comes out with an AMD laptop.

 

[ccsicecoke]

Holy cow. Tried to configure 14'' M1Max with 64GB and 1TB.
Cost 3500

 

[JPack]

So do they ship with Monterey?

Yes, it's part of the product specs.

 

[lestin]

ugly design! The shape & curve, was it based on 2010 mbp model?!!

 

[NewBench]

If you look over the history of Mac notebooks, that's far from ridiculous. Everything's a bit pricier w/the pandemic inflation bumps.

If one can't afford that, there's always the M1s. Mighty fine notebooks on their own for half the price or less.

I don't think people are saying that $1999 isn't justified in terms of what you're getting, just the increase in price over the current base MBP is the best part of $1k, and is realistically going to cost more than that to upgrade if you're selling your M1 MBP to pay towards it.

I think the 16" model looks good value if you're upgrading from the old Intel 16" though. Just that 13" M1 MBP -> 14" M1 Pro MBP doesn't look good value.

 

[Pezimak]

$1999 and $2499 for the base models.

No U.K. pricing yet... that's expensive though.

 

[Mega ST]

Good to have more plugs again. They have listened. A credible return to serious pro use.

 

[justperry]

Base 14 inch only has 14 GPU cores.

Apple's virtual "Unleashed" event kicks off today at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, with the headline announcement expected to be redesigned MacBook Pro models based on Apple silicon. We will almost certainly also be hearing a release date for macOS Monterey and may see a few other announcements such as third-generation AirPods and a new high-end Mac mini.

Apple is providing a live video stream on its website, on YouTube, and in the company's TV app across its platforms. We will also be updating this article with live blog coverage and issuing Twitter updates through our @MacRumorsLive account as the keynote unfolds. Highlights from the event and separate news stories regarding today's announcements will go out through our @MacRumors account.

As usual, Apple's online store is currently down in advance of the event.

So now that it is out, will macrumors list who got right and who got it wrong?

 

[asiga]

Where is the mac mini?

They are adding the notch to it. I guess they'll finish it quick.

 

[Metrosey]

Wanting to see gaming performance and how it compares to the 5600M

 

[alien3dx]

Holy cow. Tried to configure 14'' M1Max with 64GB and 1TB.
Cost 3500

i only want to see this ..

• 140W USB-C Power Adapter. WTF ?

 

[waquzy]

No U.K. pricing yet... that's expensive though.

£1899

I remember MKBHD theorizing that Apple's new design language favors odd quirks that are deliberately polarizing.

Granted, I dunno who is going to rush to defend these legs.

yea, but you'd still expect them to be good )

 

[GrumpyCoder]

Oh FFS, $2K for a 14" laptop. My 2015 MBP 13" was $1100.

Just paid that for a 32GB/2TB Lenovo X1 Carbon... but at least that one supports eGPU to plug in Nvidia GPU. I'll try it with a RTX8000. 😂

 

[davidako]

Tim is getting old.

Too many wrap parties with tv+ celebrities

 

[Mackan]

Base 14 inch only 8 CPU cores and 14 GPU cores.

 

[hybrid_x]

You know what I'm happiest to see?

The charge indicator light on the MagSafe plug. I have missed that little visual indicator SO MUCH.

 

[NT1440]

Looks like my 13” 2015 MBP is getting replaced this year…

 

[R3k]

Ordered both a 14 and 16, for me and my girl

 

[apachie2k]

I think the store site is down

 

[ahewitson]

can't complete my order... anyone else successfully order yet?
