They're also heavier than you'd expect: the 14-inch model comes in at 3.5 pounds, while the 16-inch varies between 4.7 and 4.8 pounds, depending on the chip you choose. They're slightly thicker, with more bulbous edges that hearken back to Apple's notebooks from the 2000's. But lean in a bit closer and you'll notice some retro flourishes. The bigger model now starts at $2,499, $100 more than the Intel version.īoth notebooks still look like MacBook Pros, with sleek unibody aluminum cases. (The only exception is "High Power Mode," which gives the 16-inch M1 Max version a temporary speed boost.) That's one way I've come to terms with the high $1,999 starting price.

It can do almost everything the 16-inch model can, it’s just smaller. It’s more an expansion of the highest-end model. Apple isn’t currently planning to replace the 13-inch model with the MacBook Pro 14.
