ProMotion technology also comes to the Mac with an adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz. The extreme dynamic range will make HDR content look very good with more detail in shadows, brilliant specular highlights, deeper blacks, plus vivid colors. Featuring the mini-LED technology used in iPad Pro, the Liquid Retina XDR display delivers up to 1,000 nits of sustained, full-screen brightness, 1,600 nits of peak brightness, and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The new MacBook Pro has a Liquid Retina XDR display. For wireless connectivity, MacBook Pro also features Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. With M1 Pro you can connect up to two Pro Display XDRs, and with M1 Max, connect up to three Pro Display XDRs and a 4K TV at the same time. It looks like the dongle is done! Also, for power and charging, it has MagSafe 3, HDMI, and, yes, a headphone jack. Many will like the included SD Card Slot, but the big winner is three Thunderbolt 4 ports.

SDXC card slot, Thunderbolt 4, and HDMI on one side.

Their GPUs have access to lower-latency data with vastly improved power efficiency. M1 Pro and M1 Max CPUs have eight high-performance cores and two high-efficiency cores to deliver faster processing at a tenth of the power. And it has a dedicated media engine for decode and two for encode, and two ProRes accelerators for even higher multistream performance with FCP you can get 30 streams of 4k and 7 streams of 8k video. It delivers two times faster graphics processing and doubles the memory bandwidth of M1 Pro. M1 Max has 10 CPU cores, up to 32 GPU cores, and a 16-core Neural Engine. Apple also looks to do away with dongles as all-new MacBook Pro’s have three Thunderbolt 4 inputs. Something taken away is the not-so-popular Touch Bar.

These chips deliver a lot of power with less power, and the MacBook Pro will be a beast of a laptop with excellent battery life plus a new Liquid Retina XDR display. Apple updates the MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and M1 Max silicon.
