FEATURE REVIEW: 14 -INCH MACBOOK PRO (M1 PRO)Let’s go back to the fall of- Remember that
thundering boom that shook
up the tech industry? That
was Apple’s M1 (fave.co/3iynWtq) making
its debut. It exploded on the scene and
amazed the Mac and PC world with its
astounding performance.
After the M1’s debut, the question was,
how can Apple follow up such a successful
launch? A year later, Apple has delivered
another thundering boom that is shaking up
the tech industry, this one possibly even
bigger. This time it’s two systems on chips,
the M1 Pro and M1 Max, and they blow away
the M1. After spending some time with the
14-inch MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro, it’s
clear that Apple is on a roll with its silicon.
The M1 Pro is simply an incredible chip.
If this were just about the processor, as
was the case last year, the new MacBook
Pro would be a big story. But there’s a lot
more to this laptop from the inside and
out, and the result is a MacBook Pro that is
truly built for professionals who make the
highest demands of their hardware.
