According to Apple, the notch helps to keep narrow bezels, which is a success (screen-to-body ratio: 88%). Once you turn the MacBook on, you will immediately notice the large notch in the upper center of the display.
#CHANGE APPLE COLOR ON MACBOOK PRO PRO#
You now also get a stamped-in MacBook Pro lettering on the bottom panel. This is definitely a matter of taste, but we preferred the spacing in the chassis color. In addition to the black keyboard, the spacing between the keys is now black as well. The basic design on the other hand did not change, and you still get a unibody aluminum chassis in silver or space grey. Despite the slightly bigger footprint compared to the MacBook Pro 13, the MacBook Pro 14 appears much more massive and denser. Contrary to recent MacBooks, the chassis is not tapered and the thickness is therefore pretty much the same around the chassis. When you pull out the new MacBook Pro 14, you will immediately notice the high weight and the bulky chassis for Apple standards.
We want to find out what the new MBP 14 with the M1 Pro is capable of and if it can justify the price premium over the MacBook Pro 13 M1 or the MacBook Air M1, respectively. The 14.2-inch Mini-LED screen (Apple calls it Liquid Retina XDR Display) is another highlight and is supposed to be extremely bright. There is still no USB-A port, but you once again get a full-size SD-card reader as well as an HDMI output. The touch bar is gone and the minimalistic approach in terms of the ports seems to be a thing of the past as well. In addition to the new processor, Apple also goes back to some design elements of earlier MacBook Pro models.
We ordered the entry-level spec of the new MacBook Pro 14 at launch, even though it is a bit tricky to talk about an entry-level SKU when it cost 2,249 Euros (~US$2,607). One year after the debut of Apple’s own M1 processor, the manufacturer from Cupertino now introduces the two faster chips M1 Pro as well as M1 Max alongside the two completely revamped MacBook Pro 14 and 16 laptops.
