Apple MacBook Pro (2021) Models Launched with Display Notch, M1 Pro and M1 Max Chipsets

Last Updated on October 19, 2021 by Kaushik Battu Leave a Comment

Apple launches the new MacBook Pro 2021 models globally with their latest and most powerful chipsets; M1 Pro and M1 Max. The new chipsets unveiled by the tech giant bring a new leap of performance; with efficient battery usage on the new MacBook Pro models.

The new chipsets from Apple are giving a run for their money; providing greater performance in comparison to the Intel chipsets on other laptops.

This new launch from the company is a much-awaited upgrade for many Mac enthusiasts with a new design after almost 5 years. Apple has brought its notch design from iPhone to the MacBook which has mixed reactions from users with the functionality as it doesn’t feature FaceID and only works as a webcam.

Besides, Apple has announced the new 3rd generation Airpods and new color options for the HomePod mini.

Apple MacBook Pro (2021) Specifications

The new MacBook Pro 2021 edition comes in two different sizes which are 14-inch and 16-inch models with narrow bezels and a notch for the webcam. Moreover, the display used is a mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR display; that supports up to 1,000 nits of full-screen brightness, 1,600 nits of peak brightness.

Apart from this, the display comes with a P3 wide color gamut, HDR support, and XDR output; a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and up to 120Hz of high-refresh-rate ProMotion technology.

Also, the notch featuring the webcam is now upgraded to a 1080p resolution camera; which is a good thing as the previous models had a 720p lens with quite a mediocre performance. Under the hood, Apple has upgraded the M1 chip with two fresh Silicons namely M1 Pro and M1 Max.

The M1 Pro features up to a 10-core CPU with eight high-performance cores and two low-performance cores, along with up to 16-core GPU.

Whereas, the M1 Max comes with a 10-core CPU similar to the M1 Pro but doubles the graphics power with up to 32 cores. Speaking of the upgrade, the M1 Pro gives a 70 percent faster CPU performance and 100 percent more GPU performance.

Besides, the M1 Max outperforms every other chipset out there in the market; providing up to 400GB per second of memory bandwidth which is a 100 percent upgrade from the regular M1.
