Let's talk about dimensions
The new MacBook Pros came with a big upgrade, offering 14-inch and 16-inch models. Both models can be chosen with any of the aforementioned chips, with pro-level performance that has truly been unprecedented.
All this allows you to process and manipulate millions of polygons in Cinema 4D, as well as being able to edit broadcasts in 8K. Which means that it can easily be used by professional programmers to create applications and programs of all kinds.
Autonomy of the MacBook Pro
The M1 Pro and Max models from Apple Silicon not only provide an abysmal improvement in power and processing, but also in autonomy. It sounds like magic, but it's still technology, connected or not, the MacBook Pro will deliver the same performance and power.
In the 14-inch models the duration is estimated at about 17 hours in continuous video playback. On the other hand, it is also calculated at about 11 hours browsing a wireless web with a single charge.
For the 16-inch models we find that for video playback it can be about 21 hours in continuous playback. In the case of wireless navigation, you can enjoy about 14 consecutive hours, starting from a single charge.
Something that is also attributed to Apple Silicon, is that it rarely gets hot with everyday tasks. This means that the fan of the thermal system is kept off most of the time.
But for processes that really need good cooling, Apple integrated an advanced ventilation system. Air flows with an efficiency that is 50% higher than previous devices.
Storage capacity and transfer speed
It has an SSD drive of about 8 TB available for storage, and because it is a rigid card, its transfer speed is much higher. Up to 7.4 GB / s, even twice as fast as the previous generation.
This allows the execution of 8K videos to be practically instantaneous, without any type of delay noticeable by the human eye.
Incredible color gamut with Liquid Retina XDR
Its contrast ratio is 1 million to one, in addition to its external dynamic range, which allows for a seamless transition of images. HDR content appears to be right in front of you in reality, rather than in a photo.
You can view videos with incredibly refined graphics in detail, as well as games that combine ultra-realistic shadows, colors and transitions. It also has professional modes used for photography, design and much more.
These MacBook Pros have ProMotion, with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, automatically adjusting to the movement of the content. This allows for completely natural and ultra-smooth movement, even with the heaviest images.
The best camera a MacBook ever had
Apple knows that today more than ever it is important to stay connected at all times, keeping this in mind, it integrated a 1080p camera. Just twice the resolution of previous models, plus flawless low-light performance.
This is all just the beginning, as it also features three professional, studio-level microphones. Spatial audio, a huge number of inputs for all types of connection, HDMI, SDXC, MagSafe 3, Thunderbolt 4 and much more.
