You can read Apple’s press releases here and here, and its tech stuff right here. There are a bevy of build-to-order options, but you can pop a high-end M1 Max in the entry-level model for an extra $400. There are two M1 Pro configurations and one with the M1 Max. You can pop an M1 Max chip inside for up to $700 more. The 14-inch models cost $1,999 or $2,499 and carry the M1 Pro chip. The M1 Pro and the M1 Max chips take this to new levels with further improvements in performance and battery life.” “The performance of the M1 chip in MacBook products released to date is a major endorsement of Apple’s investment in custom silicon. “The advent of Apple Silicon has been a shot in the arm for the MacBook lineup, and today’s announcement underlines Apple’s determination to accelerate the growth of its laptop business,” said Ben Wood, CMO and Chief Analyst at CCS Insight. TL DR? Apple has leapfrogged Intel and AMD with these chips.
For business users, that’s just about long enough to enjoy a little food and a refreshing drink in the airport lounge while waiting for your flight. If you need a quick power boost, the new Macs support Fast Charging, which means you can charge them to 50% power in just 30 minutes. What this means is that you can take these powerful systems anywhere, engage in the most demanding computational tasks, and there is a pretty good chance you’ll still have enough power to place a FaceTime call (using the much-improved webcam) to the family before you spend the next couple of hours kicking back to watch Foundation again on the way home. Benedict Evans (no relation) noticed that these new Macs will carry a chip that itself has twice as many transistors as all the CPUs the company shipped in 1984.
