This is a huge amount of money for anyone, so you’ll want to really consider if you need the kind of power that the new MacBook Pro 14-inch offers. The maximum configuration of the 10-core CPU and 32-core GPU M1 Max processor, 64GB of RAM and 8TB of SSD storage costs a whopping $5,899 / £5,799 / AU$8,849. Adding the M1 Max with 10-core CPU and 24-core GPU will add a hefty $500 / £500 / AU$750 onto the asking price, while the highest-end M1 Max with a 10-core CPU and 32-core GPU will add an extra $700 / £700 / AU$1,050. This brings faster memory (and up to 64GB of the stuff), and double the graphics performance.

Ports: 3x Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C), HDMI, SDXC card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, MagSafe 3 Screen: 14.2-inch, 3,024 x 1,964 Liquid Retina XDR display (mini-LED, 1,000 nits sustained brightness, wide color P3 gamut, ProMotion technology) Here is the MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) configuration sent to TechRadar for review: Not only that, but the MacBook Pro 14-inch continues to churn through complex tasks even when on battery power, rather than throttling performance as with other laptops to preserve battery life. As with previous MacBook Pro screens, it also supports the P3 wide color gamut.īattery life has also been drastically lengthened, and can now hit 17 hours, which is remarkable for a workstation laptop of this calibre. Not only does this make videos looks great, but even scrolling through websites benefit from this tech, as it now feels smooth and responsive. ProMotion technology is also included, which offers refresh rates of up to 120Hz, which can be adapted depending on the motion of the content on the screen. If you’re working on photos and HDR videos, your content is never going to have looked so good. The mini-LED technology is the same found in the new iPad Pro, and it’s just as impressive here, offering a huge 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. It’s now larger than the 13-inch model, and is now a Liquid Retina XDR display featuring mini-LED technology. Not only have the internals had an upgrade thanks to the new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, but the screen has been overhauled as well. However, if you do need this kind of firepower, for editing 8K footage, arranging elaborate music scores, or compiling and testing complex code, then you simply won’t find a better laptop.
