Apple revealed the 14-inches MacBook Pro 2021 on October 18 in an Apple event along with MacBook Pro 16 inches. We can see a significant amount of upgrades in both the new laptops compared to their predecessor. The laptops include more ports, better displays, and new and better performance with powerful chipsets- M1 Pro and M1 Max chips.

As for the MacBook Pro 14, one can find the all-new 100% recycled aluminum enclosure with improved cooling, slimmer bezels, a 1080p camera, and at least 10 hours of battery backup. The MacBook Pro 14 is a compact yet powerful device that starts from $1,999.

Let’s dig into the features of the MacBook Pro 14”.

MacBook Pro 14” Specifications

MacBook Pro 14” Overview

Design

MacBook Pro 14, like other models, flaunts a 100% aluminum chassis but with better airflow compared to the previous Pro MacBook. The MacBook Pro 14 weighs just 1.59kg which is pretty light for the performance one can get with it.

Apple has made some considerable changes in the new MacBook Pro 14 in terms of the display compared to the other MacBook Pros. The MacBook Pro, as per Apple, has about 20% thinner bezels on the sides and about 60% thinner along the top compared to its predecessors. However, Apple has made a notch on the top center to house its camera. Apple has upgraded its camera from 720p to 1080p which has more efficient pixels and we can expect the camera to deliver a better low-light performance.

As for the keyboards, Apple has removed the Touch Bars entirely from the keyboards; so, you’ll see a row of function keys at the top of the keyboard.

Moving on to the ports of the MacBook, the device features a new MagSafe 3 charging port, 3 Thunderbolt 4 ports, 1 HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, and a USB-C power adapter.

However, Apple will be providing the MacBook Pro 14 in only two colors- Silver and Space Grey. While many other models and lineups of MacBook- available in different beautiful colors, the availability in only two colors is quite disappointing.

Display                                 

The rumors of the MacBook Pro 14 claimed that the device will come with a Liquid Retina XDR display along with a mini-LED technology, which came true. MacBook Pro flaunts a beautiful 14.2 inches Liquid Retina XDR display that has 1,000 nits of sustained brightness, 1,600 nits of peak brightness alongside a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1.

Furthermore, the MacBook Pro 14 also has an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate that will enrich your user experience. The refresh rate is the fastest one ever to be featured in a MacBook. Besides, with astounding P3 wide color gamut coverage and the support of 1 billion colors for smoother gradients, you can make a lot out of your display.

As the MacBook Pro 14 also supports video editing for professionals, the display is far better than for movie or series binge-watching.

Performance

Apple’s announcement of two pieces of chipset alongside the MacBook Pro came as a surprise for many. The MacBook Pro 14 will be available in two different chipset variants- M1 Pro and M1 Max. Previously, the M1 chipset by Apple had made quite an impression on the customers. And yet again, here is Apple, with its new and more advanced chipset. The M1 Pro, the ultimate successor to the M1 chipset, is remarkably powerful. The M1 Max, on the other hand, is even more powerful with more CPU and GPU than the M1 Pro.

M1 Pro has a 10-core CPU with 8 efficiency cores and 2 efficiency cores along with a 16-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine. Similarly, the M1 Max comprises the same 10-core CPU but with a 32-core GPU and with twice the memory bandwidth of the M1 Pro. However, it will take extra costs to integrate the M1 Max in a 14-inches MacBook Pro. 

Battery

The new MacBook Pro 14 has a 70wh battery that, as per the advertisements, can last up to 17 hours on a single charge. We’ll see the truth as soon as the device launches in the market. Nonetheless, we can expect the device to feature 10 hours of usage on a single charge.

As an icing to this feature, it also features fast charging support that can juice up the battery up to 50% battery in just 30 minutes. The entry-level MacBook Pro 14 comes with a 67W USB-C power adapter. Furthermore, you can get a 96W adapter by adding an extra $20.
