Super interesting how they kept the touchbar on the Macbook Pro keyboard but not on the Air. As a software developer, I'm going to be more likely to buy an Air just due to the keyboard.
They kept the touch bar but it seems that they added (back) a physical Esc key, isn't that the most criticized missing key? Which other key do you miss now that Esc is back?
What I can't find is how many external monitors can be supported on the M1 chip? I don't see any detailed specs. Al they say about the M1 specs are: "The Apple M1 chip is the first system on a chip (SoC) for Mac. Packed with an astonishing 16 billion transistors, it integrates the CPU, GPU, I/O, and every other significant component and controller onto a single tiny chip. Designed by Apple, M1 brings incredible perfo…
From MacBook Pro tech specs: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display at millions of colors and: One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz Thunderbolt 3 digital video output Native DisplayPort output over USB-C VGA, HDMI, DVI, and Thunderbolt 2 output supported using adapters (sold separately)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Maybe binning. Good chips go into Pro, chips with defects in one of the GPU cores go to Air.
Sure, but it's kind of a cheap limitation. 6/6 CPU/GPU would make more sense in terms of positioning the different models. Up to .14x faster graphics performance for $250
Two fewer Thunderbolt ports on the MacBook Pro. That’s not an upgrade...?
Is this the first time they call their laptops "notebooks"?
Up to 20 hours of battery life on the MacBook Pro. If anything, I believe the increased battery life will be what most people will notice.
Surprisingly, the dealbreaker for me on this current generation is 2x TB3 ports on one side. I really like being able to charge from either side.
Eehm. What is the actual difference between the MBA M1 and the MBP 13 M1? (except the latter is thicker?) Checked the compareison and didn‘t find anything substantial...
