It was during the October 18, 2021 keynote that Apple presented its new MacBook Pro 2021 14″ and 16″. The Cupertino company immediately opened pre-orders on its site. That said, the demand being so high, that the delivery times which were originally to be set for October 26, 2021 quickly increased to finally reach more than a month.
Regarding the price of the MacBook 2021, it is proposed in its 14-inch version from €2,249. This is the MacBook Pro with the basic configuration including the M1 Pro chip, 16 GB of RAM memory and a 512 GB SSD. MacBook Pro in 16 inches, the starting price is €2,749with the same basic configuration present on the 14-inch model.
? What’s new in the new MacBook Pro?
The new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips
The big novelty of these new MacBook Pro 2021 are the new SoCs M1 Pro and M1 Max, which according to the first benchmarks would be twice as fast as the M1 chip. Apple’s new chips now have 8-10 CPU cores for the Pro variant and 10 cores for the M1 Max. On the GPU side, the M1 Pro now has 14 to 16 cores, and there are 24 to 32 cores on the M1 Max variant.
Fast charging, but not for everyone
The Apple firm also announced, during its keynote, a fast charging technology recovering 50% battery life within 30 minutes. That said, the included 67W charger is not compatible with fast charging, especially on the 14″ MacBook with the minimum configuration (8-core CPU, 14-core GPU, 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD). If you opt for a 16-inch MacBook Pro, regardless of its configuration, you will have the 140W USB-C charger, which is obviously compatible with fast charging.
The Liquid Retina XDR 120Hz Pro Motion display
For the first time in history, the MacBook Pro 2021, available in two sizes of 14 and 16 inches, includes a screen offering a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Like the one found on the iPad Pro, this Liquid Retina XDR 120 Hz ProMotion screen will allow its users to enjoy a gaming experience worthy of the name. Finally, this adaptive frequency is borrowed from that which was already found on the iPhone 13 Pro.
The disappearance of the Touch Bar
This new 2021 generation of the MacBook Pro also signs the abandonment of the famous TouchBar. The latter, inaugurated by Apple in 2016, comes in the form of a mini touch screen that provides quick access to common commands. Especially on specialized software like Photoshop or IAWriter. The Touch Bar did not appeal to users and Apple therefore took their opinions into account by deciding to make it disappear on its new MacBook Pros.
The appearance of the MagSafe magnetic recharge
MagSafe magnetic charging, found on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, is appearing on the 2021 MacBook Pro. On iPhone, this wireless charging system keeps the charger in place, thanks to magnets . However, on its new MacBooks, Apple offers it in the form of a magnetic cable ensuring that the Mac will not end up on the ground if someone trips on the cables of the machine. Finally, note that it is always possible to recharge the machine via a Thunderbolt port.
