Apple had announced the all new MacBook Pro 2021 on the 18th October 2021 and it will be available to ship from 29th October 2021 from Apple online Store and from 30th October 2021 from Amazon Store. However, if you would like to be one of the first to grab one, it is worth noting that Amazon will likely deliver faster since those are pre-configured laptops while on the Apple store you get to customize the laptops to your liking.

The new MacBook Pros have undergone a major redesign in every regard. The display now uses a Mini LED panel to offer impressive contrasts of a million:1 and a peak brightness of 1600 nits for a true HDR Experience (or XDR as Apple calls it). The MacBooks also finally receive the high refresh rate treatment with the ProMotion Feature (120hz) to make the entire user experience more fluid and responsive. The performance to no one's surprise is the fastest performance on a MacBook ever. However, the performance improvements this time are significant over the previous generations. Scroll below for some benchmarks from Apple. The other notable improvements include, removing the controversial touch bar, bringing back the function buttons and ports and finally a notch, for better or worse. While the notch may not be appealing to all, it does help in minimizing the bezels to a bare minimum.

Performance Benchmarks

CPU Processing - M1 Max 10 Core CPU and M1 Pro 10 Core CPU (both offer the same CPU)

Xcode - With 2.1x faster build times as compared to 8 core Intel i9 CPU, M1 Max is nothing short of impressive considering its efficient power draw and fewer core count.

Vectorworks - 2.1x faster publish performance as compared to 8 core Intel i9 CPU

Graphics Processing - M1 Max 32 Core GPU

Maxon Cinema 4D - With 4x faster graphics performance as compared to the RX5600M with 8GB HBM2, the Apple's in-house built M1 Max seems to perform impressively well yet again.

Affinity photo - 4.5x performance as compared to RX5600M 8 GB HBM2

Final Cut Pro - 2.9x performance as compared to RX5600M 8 GB HBM2

Adobe Photoshop - 2.1x performance as compared to RX5600M 8 GB HBM2
