This could be the dead sexy MacBook Pro you’ve been hankering for.
During Apple’s “One More Thing” media event, the company unveiled an Apple Silicon-based 13-inch MacBook Pro notebook. The notebook features Apple’s M1 processor, which boasts 8 cores and offers up to 2.8x faster performance compared to the previous-gen 13-inch MacBook Pro. Apple has also cited that the notebook offers up to 20 hours of video playback on a single charge, twice the previous quoted figure.
The M1 chip also brings the Neural Engine for high-speed machine learning compute. Apple called it the world’s fastest compact pro notebook for ML tasks.
Other improvements include a “studio quality” mic array and an upgraded webcam that’s been boosted through improvements to the image signal processor. The notebook features two USB-C ports that support USB 4 and Thunderbolt 4, allowing the computer to drive the 6K Pro Display XDR at full resolution.
If there’s one downside, it’s that the new MacBook Pro appears to only be available with 16GB of RAM.
The new MacBook Pro is available to order today, and will start shipping next week.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
