Apple MacBook Pro M1 Pro & Max

Apple unveils game-changing 

Everything Apple revealed at its October event

Apple launches MacBook Pro with new chips, larger displays, and the notch

"The M1 Pro has either six or eight high-performance cores and two efficiency cores, giving it 70 percent better performance compared to last year's M1. It also has a 14-core or 16-core GPU, which Apple claims gives it two times better graphics performance compared to the M1.

Then there's the M1 Max, which has more memory bandwidth, and 32 GPU cores, giving it 4x better graphics performance than the M1. It supports a maximum of 64GB of RAM memory.

The new displays have very narrow bezels, but there's an iPhone-like notch on top, hosting the FaceTime camera.
The new MacBook Pro laptops have an iPhone-like notch on top, which hosts the new 1080p FaceTime camera. This is because the bezels on the displays have shrunk to just 3.5mm, which means that those display sizes were made possible in nearly the same-sized enclosure as on the previous models.

As for battery life, Apple claims the smaller model can handle up to 17 hours of video playback and up to 11 hours of wireless web browsing. The larger model can do up to 21 hours of video playback, and up to 14 hours of wireless web browsing.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro starts at $1,999, though the price goes up to $2,899 when configured with the M1 Max chip and 32GB of RAM. The larger, 16-inch MacBook Pro starts at $2,499 when configured with the M1 Pro chip, and it starts at a whopping $3,499 when configured with the M1 Max chip."
