Product Information

includes either the Operating System originally shipped with the unit or, in some cases, a more recent version.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro (and its 16-inch sibling) have 1080 webcams, a leap up from the grainy 720p cams in the Dell XPS 13 and XPS 15, 2020 MacBook Pro and Razer Blade 14 (kudos to Microsoft for putting a 1080p webcam in the Surface Laptop Studio). It’s also reliable – which is crucial after Apple’s issues with the old Butterfly keyboards in older MacBooks, which were prone to breaking if crumbs or dust got anywhere near it. If you have money burning a hole in your pocket, or some really demanding applications to run, then you can opt for the M1 Max instead. It comes in two colors, Silver and Space Gray, which may disappoint anyone hoping for a colorful reimagining like the iMac, but they retain that classy and iconic MacBook look. As you’d imagine, Apple TV+ and its original content, which support Dolby Vision, looks (and sounds) especially impressive with the MacBook Pro 14-inch.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro M1 is one of the latest models of the MacBook Pro series, which Apple first introduced in 2006. There’s still a Touch ID button, for logging in using just your fingerprint, and that continues to work well. It also features a 14-inch Retina display with a resolution of 3924 x 1964, providing a stunning visual experience for watching videos, browsing photos, and working on documents.The M1 Pro (which is in our review device) has a dual-chip architecture that supports up to 32GB of unified memory, with a bandwidth of 200GB/s, which is almost three times the bandwidth of the M1. That’s why the new MacBook Pro camera has double the resolution — 1080p — and uses a lens with a wider aperture that lets in more light. HDR content comes to life in photos, video and games — with refined specular highlights, incredible detail in shadows, and vibrant, true-to-life colours. The Touch Bar, a thin OLED touchscreen (the only kind Apple's put in a laptop), was introduced in 2016. The CPU has eight high-performance cores and two high-efficiency cores, and the M1 Pro will switch between these to optimize performance to whatever tasks you're running.
