Apple has designed the new MacBook Pro to take full advantage of the performance of the M1 Pro and M1 Max.

The new MacBook Pro is available in 16-inch and 14-inch models.

The internal structure has been revamped to allow 50% more air to flow even at low fan speeds. This allows you to maintain high performance with quiet operation.

In addition, the high efficiency of M1 Pro and M1 Max enables fanless operation for most of the day-to-day tasks.

The 16-inch model is 16.8 mm thick and weighs 4.7 pounds (2.1 kg).

The 14-inch model is 15.5 mm thin and weighs 3.5 pounds (1.6 kg).

Function keys are back on the Magic Keyboard instead of the Touch Bar.

The key top has a double oxide film treatment.

Also equipped with a spacious pressure-sensitive touch trackpad.

In addition to SD card slot, Thunderbolt 4 port, HDMI port ...

On the opposite side are two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a headphone jack.

The charging port 'MagSafe' that sticks with a magnet is back. You can also charge with the Thunderbolt port.

Models with M1 Pro can connect to up to two Pro Display XDRs.

And with the M1 Max-equipped model, you can connect up to three Pro Display XDRs and one 4K TV at the same time.

The bezel width is 3.5 mm.

The display is magnified to surround the camera and looks like a notch on an iPhone or iPad.

The 16-inch model display is 16.2 inches and has a resolution of 3456 x 2234 pixels (7.7 million pixels in total).

The 14-inch model display is 14.2 inches and has a resolution of 3024 x 1964 pixels (total of 5.9 million pixels).

The variable refresh rate function 'ProMotion' installed in iPhones and iPads is now available on Macs. The refresh rate changes according to the content displayed at a refresh rate of up to 120Hz.

You can also fix the refresh rate.

The mini LED technology that is also used in the iPad Pro will be installed as 'Liquid Retina XDR'.

Sustained brightness of up to 1000 nits, peak brightness of 1600 nits, and a contrast ratio of 1 million to 1 have been achieved.

In addition, the Extreme Dynamic Range expresses the dark areas in detail, and the bright areas express the brightness so that it reflects.

In order to make the most of the beautiful display, we have doubled the resolution of the camera at the top of the display to 1080p (Full HD). In addition, a lens with a brighter aperture value is used to take in more light.

This doubles the performance of the camera in low-brightness situations.

The use of ISP and Neural Engine also improves image quality, providing clearer images and more natural skin tones.

Next, about the audio side of the new MacBook Pro.

The MacBook Pro is an industry-leading studio-quality microphone that reduces the noise floor by up to 60%.

This makes it possible to record clearly and clearly without missing the most delicate sound.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro also features two tweeters and four force scan selling woofers for an even better 6-speaker sound system.

The tweeter is nearly twice as large, which makes the mid-high range sound clearer and provides a clearer sound stage.

The diaphragm of the woofer is also larger, and the range of motion is wider, so it is possible to move twice the vibration, and it is possible to reproduce 80% more bass.

This makes it possible to play down to half an octave, and even express the range that was previously unheard of.

And how, this amazing 6-speaker sound system is also used in the 14-inch MacBook Pro. The new sound system also supports spatial audio, creating a sophisticated 3D sound stage.

With a studio quality microphone that is higher than the signal-to-noise ratio ...
