Don't see HDMI port. They're huge for a start and USB-C carries the same signals, you just need a USB-C to HDMI cable, or you can use the USB-C port with a displayport cable too if you want that or as .. anything else you like. Really don't see the new MacBook pro with a 1 inch hole on the side.
Got a tip for us?

I'm definitely excited for this "Apples Unleashed" event. Apples have been leashed far too long.
Maybe reword that, was so confused thinking 14" has a bigger battery than 16".
Please give native multi-monitor support...
And I bet shipments are gonna be so delayed with all the supply chain issues, especially with the custom config models
I REALLY hope they keep USB-C charging on top of the magsafe. I'm not a huge magsafe fan, i find it comes out too easily. I liked the L shaped connector but they got rid of that one. USB-C also lets me connect to my monitor with one cable and charge my computer at the same time which is great
I don’t propose joining the two completely. The idea is that with this port you could choose between the two. I.e. use the USB when you dock your macbook or forget your cable and need to barrow one, but snap the MagSafe over the port at other times.
The biggest advantage is that it takes up less room than having both beside one another.
They have dropped 2 efficiency cores and added two performances cores and quadrupled the graphics cores. Not quite sure that's what you call miserly.
Okay…? So you will never buy anything with this logic. Yes, it’s the same design since many years. The ports? Yes, the same that were in the sub-2016 MacBook era. The chip? A more powerful version of a chip that is as we speak in many MacBooks without issues.
If you don’t want to buy it it’s your choice, but it’s not a fist Gen anything
My late-2013 MBP, which I LOVE, is getting old.... Looking forward to this announcement.
I think it was obvious what he was implying. The external design of the computer is changing and there have been problems in the past when Apple makes external changes; the butterfly keyboard fiasco for example. Whilst it certainly isn’t the first MacBook Pro, it will be the first with a different design in a few years.
It’s the same reason that some people buy the ‘S’ model iPhone, hardware issues are usually resolved by the second iteration of the ‘new’ design.
Look like I may be the first to say it, but I think they will offer cellular modems as an option to make these laptops truly unleashed.
While that’s often true, the problems are also often much less severe than the outrage makes them seem. I bought a 2012 MBP retina at launch and I’ll finally be replacing it with this new machine. My 2012 has some screen ghosting issues but otherwise has aged really well, and has even survived numerous drops (one on ice and one when a backpack strap broke) without serious issues. Hope to get another almost 10 years of use out of this new model!

Do you really expect that MBP with a M1X chip will draw +100W?
"No MacBook Pro logo below the display".
I have used MacBook Pros for more years than I care to remember, and I've never noticed this before! I genuinely looked below the screen to check. Embarrassing in the extreme.

Mixed rumors on that one. Early on 64GB was said to be coming, but some are now saying 32GB might be the limit. Guess it will depend on the module capacities available in the form factor that the SoC package uses.
When you're wrong next week, will you own it?
Sounds great, the touchbar is useless and I hate to carry around dongles.
I also have problems with glitches with the current USB-C charging. Hopefully this will go away with MagSafe. Also nice with an SD reader. Sometimes you want to move lots of data and while you can do it over the network, it can sometimes be slow or a hassle.
I really don't need a powerful GPU. so I hope it's optional, but I could use lots of cores to speed up my work.

Not on the list and probably wont happen, but really hoping for the return of UPGRADEABLE storage.
The removal of the TRASH that is the touchbar is going to be the #1 reason i'll actually give Apple my money. Most useless and annoying garbage Apple has ever implemented.
I dunno what you mean. Isn’t the new MagSafe supposed to be USB-C to MagSafe? What standard you are talking about here?
Seeing how half of the YouTuber saying 256GB should be more than enough for “majority of people”, I’d not be surprised if apple even bother to release 8GB 256GB for 14” MacBook Pro.
