PUTTING CONNECTIVITY FIRST
Another controversial decision on the MacBook
Pro in recent years was the removal of the
MagSafe charger, replaced by a USB-C charger.

MacBook Pro models charge up to 50% in just
30 minutes, and for the irst time, users will be
able to connect up to two Pro Display XDRs
with the M1 Pro, and up to three Pro Display
XDRs and a 4K TV, with the M1 Max. Apple
ofers Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 on both new
MacBook Pro models, too.

for a new generation. An all-new aluminum
enclosure has allowed Apple to maximize
internal space and improve performance,
allowing for an advanced thermal system
that can move 50 percent more air than the
previous generation. The Magic Keyboard has
