Good deal – The Apple MacBook Pro 14 2021 (M1 Pro 8/14) 512 GB “5-star” laptop at € 1,933.90

The Apple MacBook Pro 14 is available with no fewer than 10 M1 Pro/Max processor versions, including a version with 8 CPU cores and 14 GPU cores. This model is therefore the most affordable, but retains all the qualities of the MacBook Pro 14.

Apple strikes once again very hard with a MacBook Pro 14 that does not suffer from any defect. The only menu criticisms that will be made to it are of an aesthetic nature, in particular its notch or the color of the keyboard. In terms of performance, Apple has a perfect command of its processor and knows how to guide developers so that their software takes full advantage of it. We appreciate the return of a provided connector, but we would have liked the manufacturer to go to the end of its approach by offering an HDMI 2.1 port and an SD UHS-III port, as long as it takes. And what about the proposed autonomy… impressive.

Strong points

• Top-flight performance.
• Quiet.
• Excellent mini led screen.
• Impressive speaker sound output.
• Enormous autonomy.

Weak points

• No Face ID.
• No HDMI 2.1 port (HDMI 2.0 only).

Alternatively

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 15 ticks almost all the boxes: its impressive chassis makes no compromises, whether on performance or autonomy, and the screen is very well made, with faithful colors and an effective anti-reflective treatment . We simply regret the definition of the panel lower than that of the best laptops on this point.
