I'm 99% sure there will be no discreet GPU option.
At the low end maybe. Not convinced of that at the high end. I think the 16" will get more robust upgrade options.
right?!
Greg with an exiting post like this - this must be a huge update for MBP!
I have a BIG feeling we’re going to get much. More features and performance than what has been rumoured or expected!
Well, let's just say that if they don't, I don't think it will be due to any limits of hardware. There's not likely to be any difference in processor choice, so the only possible restrictions would be a 32-core GPU available only on the 16".
Still, the already-available M1 Macs suggest that the only difference will be form factor (and battery life).
I hope you are correct in the pricing, or at least close. However I think the 14" MBP may to jump up to $1999. With Apple charging $200 for 8->16GB in the 13" MBP I feel if the 14" starts in at 512GB/16GB it would be more that $100 more that that 13" MBP ($1699).
The only thing that I may moan about is if they retain the same 720P webcam. (And I won't be surprised if they do since I think it's actually limited by the thinness of the lid).
I am with you, no proprietary charging ...
Not giving up on boot camp so it’s a no go for me, the m1x graphics won’t ever be on pair with dedicated gpu’s I can’t see the m1x being more powerful than the amd 5600 gpu
Well, you just seem determined to not be happy about the event.
Is it possible that the the GPU built into the M1X will outperform what's currently available as discreet GPU options on the intel 16 inch MBP? I just can't imagine a computer geared towards professional video editing and grading that lacks a discreet GPU, but I haven't tested what the M1s can do in terms of GPU yet.
keep trying to convince yourself, then see m1x and be the first in line to upgrade lol
lol Apple Watch Pro with flat sides.
Because apple has been a big let down recently from everything they released
In my original post in another thread I hedged a bit. I don't think the 14" would be as high as US$1999, but I said it could be $1799-$1899.
Note that a lot of a lot of professional video editing functions have been off-loaded to hardware acceleration, so that fanless M1 MacBook Airs are sometimes outperforming Core i7 MacBook Pros in video editing.
BTW, the M1 GPU only has 8 cores. The new M1X is rumoured to get 16 to 32 cores, depending up on the model.
To kneecap Google, who has a big presentation that will now largely be ignored on Tuesday.
Remember how iPhones were always getting thinner and thinner under Jony Ive and miraculously, when he left, with the iPhone 13, all of the iPhones got beefier batteries and...get this...got fatter?!?!?!?
I think we will see the same thing happening with the redesigned MacBook Pros....the display will get just a little thicker to make room for the same 1080p webcams that are on the redesigned iMacs....
