Apple Unveils Redesigned MacBook Pro With Notch, Added Ports, ProMotion Mini-LED Display, M1 Pro or M1 Max Chip, and More

Is it possibile to set the menu bar black? So it would hide the notch….
thus for the meticulous, I noticed that the menu bar is also thicker then the notch…
and plz someone explain me why apple removed it from the marketing images!!🤬

The notch lives!!

Oh god I never thought this would happen. Looks like I’m holding onto my 2019 for the foreseeable future.
only because of the notch. It’s just ridiculous they even went there. When the lower bezel is still there they didn’t need to make a cutout in the screen. Last thing I wanted on my mac is Face ID.

It's technically hidden in the menu bar. If you're in a fullscreen app the top part is black. It's hidden. No need to worry.
And there's no Face ID, it's just for the camera. Face ID will probably come on next gen

Is it me or the design looks a lot like my first MBP 2008??? when viewed from the front and side.

£400 to add 16Gb of unified memory… the Apple Tax making the 16” with 1TB SSD £3000 might as well go for the Pro Max at £3299 which I’m sure is what they intended. That’s an awful lot of money for a laptop no matter how good the performance.

Damnnn! The casing design looks old! Bring back Jony Ive!

What are you talking about? It‘s available in your choice of gray (“silver”) or gray (“space gray”). Color-Blind Jony would love it.

As I predicted, Apple releases for 2021:
"Ninotchka" !!!

 

[GizmoDVD]

Can it only charge via Magsafe? No more charging through the USB-C ports?

Welcome to Tim Cook's Apple. Anyway I'll catch you on the flip side, I'm off to Samsung, whose innovation actually excites me and doesn't burn a hole in me wallet.

Enjoy windows XP11 and Android Hole in me Security.

That power brick though. 140W - they're not expecting you to fly with this?

 

[adamjackson]

Literally everything I could have wanted in a professional Mac laptop.

 

[dallegre]

Well, my 16" i7 MBP is crying now. Don't quite have the budget or need to jump on this one right away though.

 

[coolfactor]

$1999 starting price. 😞

More than I'd like to spend. I would have liked to see a replacement for the old 13" MBP with some of the new (old) features (MagSafe, no touch bar, HDMI) starting at around $1499 or so. I would have jumped at that.

Do you really need a "Pro" laptop for what you use if for? Be honest.

There's no face ID the notch was made to house a 1080p facetime camera. Next year they'll announce a smaller notch to partially solve the problem they've created.

 

[satchmo]

There is no Face ID on the new MacBook Pros. 🙄

Is there even Touch ID on these MBPs?

 

[Techwatcher]

Looks great but I can’t believe the notch is real.

The menu solution fixes it. Not a big deal. I might buy one.

 

[Tagbert]

2000 starting price for 14 is just crazy.

Why, that is only $200 more than the old Intel 13” MBP? This is a lot more computer for not much more money.

So, would we technically be losing screen now? going from 16:10 to 16:9.x in full screen?

 

[Pilot Jones]

What is the point of the Notch without FaceID?!

[bryan85]

who put grandma's areolas on the bottom case? 🤢

 

[Jeo_cz]

I just don't understand one thing. If the new processor is so power efficient, why they put it to the body 3x thicker than on prevoius (hungry) Intel model? Or did they do it for the first gen and for any other generation they just cut 1 mm in heigh to make every new generation more attractive than previous? Anyway, it would be a good plan for selling these things for the next decade without any real innovation.

you're confusing battery capacity with the charger

 

[Tagbert]

Is the performance of the 14“ M1 Pro identical to the 16“?

Yes. Both can be configured with the M1 Pro or the M1 Max. That’s cool, the old 13” MBP could never keep up but now they are in parity.
