Apple today announced that 14-inch MacBook Pro pricing will start at $1,999 ($1,849 for education), while the new 16-inch MacBook Pro will start at $2,499 ($2,299 for education). The new MacBook Pro models were revealed during today's Apple event, and are powered by the new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips.

I love how every demo was in dark mode so we would not see the grotesque notch

 

[toobravetosave]

At least the notch is included in the price!

 

[yossi]

Speaking of notch - they made no mention of face ID, so the only thing it contains is the camera, yet they decided to make it so wide because?

Beautiful machine. 120HZ Mini LED display. I cannot believe the mad lads did it.
Expensive, but it appears to be priced accurately for whats in it. Im in for the base 14"!

Generic vs. recognizable

 

[DekuBleep]

Did they give a release date for these machines?

 

[cigz]

the fact that base 14 inch has *only* 8 cpu cores and 14 gpu cores ?

 

[audioadrenaline]

16" M1 Max starting at $3,500. Yikes.

I'll wait for the new MBA. Probably looking at $1299 for a nicely equipped version of that next year since they're still touting the 13" MBP at $1299. The base M2 MBA will be a little cheaper and then they'll throw the M2 in the 13" MBP too.

Oh lame it has no Touch Bar. I love the Touch Bar.

 

[Crosscreek]

I was thinking of going back to a Mac but for that much money I'll stick with my iPad Pro and a PC.

 

[KALLT]

I think the menu bar is taller than the notch and seems to stick out below it. I wonder how this looks with different wallpapers.

 

[yoak]

Looks amazing. If people only manage to focus on the notch I feel sorry for them

 

[centauratlas]

It would be nice to be able to pull the store up reliably. It is so slow.

This seems to kill the possible support for possibility of Bootcamp Windows..? I don't think the OS supports irregular shaped display... Unless you manually set it to not use the entire top rows where the camera bump hides.

Also, I feel we're losing a bit of pixel with the bump now.

 

[Liquid Galaxy]

I know these are geared for pro users but still, starting at £1900, up to a pretty earth shattering £3300? Ouch

I will keep my 2020 MBP which has Windows 10 and a touch bar for this reason.

Holy mother of god, the prices are insane.
8 TB SSD costs €2,5k

 

[phillypharm]

32 GB max? Maybe they should've called it the "Leashed". The current MBP handles at least 64GB. Is this truly a pro machine? At the price points above, I am not sold on it being a pro machine - whether or not it is unified memory or not.

It can go up to 64GB with the M1 Max. The Pro only goes to 32GB.

 

[tdar]

My “ minimum“ configuration is 3900 dollars. Insane.

 

[A7ibaba]

Apple again raises the bar for 800 $.

 

[JPack]

Because it's 1080P with ambient light sensors.

 

[phillypharm]

Prices make sense for the most part minus the fact that it should start at 1TB not 512GB.
