I know, but the amount of upgrades this year, it’s hard to see 120hz happening

Upcoming MacBook Pro Models Could Feature 120Hz Mini-LED Displays

Honestly - what's the use?
It's not like gaming is high end at this point on the Mac and it will take a while to be.
For scrolling Safari Windows .... common.... I love Apple but 120 Hz on a machine that's more for production and business use than ever.... I see no reason to get over excited.
I am more interested in the new form factor and hopefully some innovations that make it such a beautiful HW in the PC market.

Not so surprised by this likely rumor. In conjunction with ProMotion I guess it should handle the battery situation pretty well.
I don't have a display that can do more than 60 Hz, but I know that macOS supports higher refresh rate already if your machine's graphic card can output it and if your display can show it.
Pretty recently tried a 144 Hz display (with Windows) and also for desktop work the higher refresh rate makes for a welcome difference in smoothness.

If you've ever used a 120/144hz monitor, you'd know that scrolling and everything is smoother compared to a 60hz screen. It is a big difference and hard to go back to 60.

Apple had a lot of time to perfect the new Mac though. I guess we will all find out. Hopefully we are not set for a disappointment.
I’m still hoping they can get at least 15 hours battery life out of these. Battery life is so important for these pro machines…
Or they will leave the Intel option and discontinue the M1 MacBook Pro 13 inch.
You can never fully trust someone that doesn’t understand how to use an apostrophe properly.
That sounds incredible. I'm really looking forward to this event.
Hopefully it comes with Headache Free™ technology as well. I'm just concerned because almost all of the new products, OLED or not, seem to have folks complaining about headaches.
For me, I'm only interested in Macs and iPhones and all the OLED iPhones are problematic as are the M1 MBA and MBP.

Apple is taking a long time for Mac base to get more options. Yes M1X MacBook Pro's would be great. so would those desktop upgrades iMac 27" and Mac Pro/ Mac mini pro.
Happy this unveiling is finally here.
I dont laugh at the notion of keeping intel around a little longer, needing incremental updates for another run to make sure the intel devices are still great as they are still relied on by many.

I have a 140 Hz monitor for gaming and hooked up to the Mac When I switch form the PC gaming to Mac - working.
It’s smooth but I don’t see such huge benefits when working honestly. I am just saying it’s over hyped, I am not saying it’s not good.
It’s a matter of personal taste (I don’t judge that) - but I would be more excited about the form factor and I pray for a decent front camera.
I doubt they would reduce the number of efficiency cores to only two. You want the MBP's to run cool doing most things (long battery life), not concentrating on high performance cores. They are trying to make higher RAM configurations available which is also important.

while I hope for 120hz, would not Mac OS Montery have any hints for that? Or does the OS animations still scale to 120 fps without any issues? ?
I agree, I don't know why they would cut the number of efficiency cores. From a software development standpoint, it becomes easier to develop your OS and apps when all your devices have a base number of efficiency cores. If a tiny $700 iPhone and MacBook Air has 4 efficiency cores, why not your $2k+ MacBook Pro?
My guess is 4 efficiency cores + 8 - 12 performance cores.
😱😲😱😲😱😲😱😲
Looks like 120hz just got real. 😱😲
Mr Ross the 🐐 Young has spoken, 100% track record.
If we don't get 120hz I'm going to lose It. 😂
Apple will have to address all of the shortcomings of M1 vs Intel or they will lose customers to Windows. Many of those problems are deal breakers for power users. Mini LED won't help anything in that department.
The fact that Ross Young is the one to break this rumor has my jimmies thoroughly rustled ?
