MacBook is easy to use and has incredible capabilities which allow users to navigate their way through innovative ideas. It has a user experience that is unrivaled and can be used to create apps, movies, and music that move you and so much more. The new MacBook is completely reimagined. This time, Apple has outdone itself and launched two brand new chips for the MacBook Pro- M1 Pro and M1 Max

M1 Pro

The new M1 Pro is a breakthrough, Apple has scaled up M1’s architecture and has created an extremely powerful chip. The chip has been restructured to enable the SoC to scale which has doubled the memory interface. The M1 Pro delivers up to 200 gigabytes per second of memory bandwidth. It also offers a 10-core CPU with eight performance cores and two efficiency cores, as well as a 16-core GPU with 2,048 execution units. In comparison, the M1 from last year was an eight-core chip (4 performance and 4 power efficiency cores) with eight GPU cores.

At its peak, the M1 Pro uses 70% less power than a PC laptop with a discrete GPU. With configuration options up to 32GB, the new chip also supports more RAM. The M1 Pro has 33.7 billion transistors in total, which is roughly twice as many as the

Apple has revisited the past and has removed the Touch bar which is replaced by their classic black physical keys, bringing back the ease of mechanical keys. It includes Spotlight, Siri, Dictation, and Do Not Disturb keyboard shortcuts. Touch ID also has a new tactile ring that guides your finger to unlock your Mac quickly, easily, and securely. The new Macbook Pro also comes with Liquid Retina XDR and a million-to-one contrast ratio. The display is factory calibrated which provides for HDR color grading and high-quality design, photography, and print production reference modes.
