MacBook Pro

Apple's impressive M-series processors just hit more laptops and desktops, leaving just one Intel Mac on sale: the Mac Pro. It's only a matter of time ...

The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 is [available with a custom Qualcomm-built SQ3 processor](https://crackberry.com/e?link=https%3A%2F%2Fclick.linksynergy.com%2Fdeeplink%3Fid%3DkXQk6%252AivFEQ%26mid%3D24542%26u1%3DUUcbUdUnU193099YYwYd%26murl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.microsoft.com%252Fen-us%252Fstore%252Fconfigure%252FSurface-Pro-9%252F93VKD8NP4FVK&token=_MhlMjlV). Today Intel is staring down that same barrel that doomed PowerPC two decades ago: the potential of the old x64 architecture is close to maxed out and the ARM-powered chips by Apple and Qualcomm are eating Intel and AMD's lunch. The PowerPC processors Apple had used up to that point were effectively maxed out in performance and efficiency. Which is exactly what Apple did with the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips that were installed in the The XDR screen is incredible (yes, the notch is silly, but I barely notice it), the battery life is phenomenal, and even when I doing stuff that hits the processor hard like video rendering or 3D modeling it never skips a beat and barely even gets warm. This leaves just one Mac with an Intel processor inside: the Mac Pro. Fully max that bad boy out with 1.5TB of RAM (O_o), two AMD Radeon Pro W6800X Duo graphics cards with 64GB of memory each, 8TB of SSD storage, an Apple Afterburner PCIe accelerator card, and a $400 set of caster wheels for *gulp* $52,199. Heck, the updated Mac Mini actually got a hundred bucks less expensive, with a new starting price of $599. I've been a Mac user for a while now, and generally like the Intel-powered MacBook Pro laptops I cycled through over the last 15 years, but always had complaints about the battery life or heat or that damned butterfly keyboard and the stupid Touch Bar strip screen that replaced my beloved function keys (in truth it wasn't that bad, just mostly useless). The M-series processors are built using the same basic architecture as the A-series processors that powered over a decade of iPhones and iPads, so Apple's been at the processor design and optimization game for a while and the results have long been impressive in terms of performance and battery life. The latest Mac updates are effectively just spec bumps, but they are hastening the end of the Apple + Intel relationship. They're effectively just spec bumps: they're more or less the same excellent computers inside and out, with more powerful and efficient chips inside.

In a rare January product launch, Apple has introduced a version of its MacBook Pro it claims is the longest-lasting Mac computer ever.

The new MacBook Pro machines come in 14- and 16-inch sizes and can be configured with either of the new processors.

Apple launched a surprise new MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro and M2 Max. But should you really buy it?

[my favorite laptops of the past couple of years](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/my-favorite-laptop-for-2022-is-from-2021/). It’s a high-end configuration, though, and it’s currently the only one available through Apple’s refurbished program. These are still highly capable machines, and as Apple highlights, they still have the incredible display, speakers, keyboard, and trackpad the machine is known for.

In other words, this group of people want something with some decent power, but probably won’t benefit much of a change between the M1 Pro and M2 Pro. Overall, Apple claims the M2 Max has 30% faster graphics than the M1 Max, which is a substantial gen-over-gen upgrade. Because the M1 Pro represents the cheapest “discrete level” graphics you can get on a MacBook, it attracts a lot of people in that group, especially the cheaper 14-inch model. But these are not “new” laptops, hence the unceremonious nature of the surprise launch. These computers are the real deal, and have no real weakness — outside the high price, of course.
