The trade-off is that the thicker body allows for all those extras, like the resurrected HDMI and SD card ports. Along with that, it actually gets both thicker and heavier.

This is the first brand-new screen size for a MacBook since the 15-inch Pro went to 16 inches in 2019 (the iMac added a 24-inch version this past summer). Let's look at the current lineup and see how the new announcements have changed the buying calculations: Current MacBooks compared

M1: Apple's MacBook Pro chips comparedīy adding the M1 Pro and M1 Max system-on-chip parts (sometimes called an SOC, or more casually referred to as the MacBook's "chip"), these really become pro-level machines, and will do a better job of attracting professional buyers, who are used to spending many, many thousands on their mission-critical work rigs.

Before now, the M1 Macs were not always powerful enough for more complex workloads. It's also a way Apple can lure in higher-end creative pros who need the graphics power - previously only available in select Intel Macs - for video editing, content creation and 3D work. The new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops represent a much wider gap between the Air and Pro models.
#NEW 2014 MACBOOK PRO MAC#
The $699 Mac Mini? Same chip! The upshot at the time was that the MacBook Air remained the most universally useful choice for most people. The less expensive MacBook Air and more expensive 13-inch MacBook Pro used almost identical M1 chips (with a single extra GPU core in the Pro), despite a $300 difference in their starting prices. Last year's initial wave of M1 Macs made for some confusing buying choices. The new models are available to buy now, although some configurations already show long wait times before shipping. I doubt we'll see any more, as the Mac line continues to go all-in on Apple's own chips, allowing the company to control the design of the hardware, the OS and the CPU. The Intel/Apple partnership lasted 15 years, and now we're down to the last couple of available Intel Macs, an older Mac Mini and the 21.5- and 27-inch iMacs. The MacBook Pro started life in 2006, as a successor to Apple's PowerBook line of laptops, and part of the first wave of Intel-powered Macs. This shift means more options for new MacBook buyers to consider, as well as additional considerations about ports, screens, webcams and power - especially graphics power. If you're using the old-style iFixit adhesive remover with separate bottle and syringe (no longer sold), click here for a slightly modified set of instructions.With the two new MacBook Pro laptops, a 16-inch and a 14-inch model, introduced by Apple this month, the entire MacBook laptop line has shifted to Apple's own M-series chips, and away from Intel. This guide instructs you to remove the speakers before proceeding to the battery. Note: The solvent used to dissolve the battery adhesive will damage your speakers if it comes in contact with the plastic speaker enclosures. If your battery is swollen, take extra precautions. A charged lithium-ion battery can create a dangerous and uncontrollable fire if accidentally punctured. To minimize risk of damage, turn on your MacBook and allow the battery to fully discharge before starting this procedure. Do not smoke or work near an open flame during this procedure. Perform this procedure in a well-ventilated area. IFixit adhesive remover is highly flammable.



The adhesive remover in your kit will dissolve the adhesive securing the battery, allowing you to remove it with ease. Use this guide to safely remove the glued-in battery from your MacBook Pro with the help of an iFixit battery replacement kit.
