Macs, M1X, AirPods And More

 

14- And 16-Inch M1X MacBook Pro

The computers  vio777 we’ve all been waiting for are finally being unleashed. Reports about the new MacBook Pro have been flooding the rumors mill all year, and to say the Mac community is excited is something of an understatement. 

That’s mostly because these new laptops should feature the next chip in the two-year Apple silicon rollout, which will likely be dubbed the M1X to differentiate it from the M1 that was released last November in the 13-inch MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini, and this past spring in the 24-inch iMac. (Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman wonders if Apple will call it something other than M1X, but whatever it’s called doesn’t matter in the end. It’s about the technology  rentapress of the chip itself.) The M1 was an impressive debut for the Apple silicon that will eventually replace all of Intel’s processors, and after a year, we’re ready to see the chips evolve.

Equally exciting is the outside of the new MacBook Pro. Rumors are persistent that we will be getting a new design with smaller bezels to allow for more screen area, so the 14-inch will be about the same size as the 13-inch and the 16-inch will be about the same size as the former 15-inch. The screen could also be getting an upgrade with mini-LED like the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, which would have better image contrast and greater dynamic range than the current MacBook Pro display. It might even have 120Hz ProMotion, which would make scrolling, animations, and video playback smoother.

An SD Card slot on a new MacBook Pro will be an appealing feature for content creators.

Apple

Wait, there’s even more we can see from the  genztrending new laptop. It’s possible that Apple will equip the MacBook Pro with more ports than on the current 13 models, and also include an SD Card slot. Apple may change the power adapter to one with a magnetic connector that can break away in case the cord is yanked. The FaceTime camera could finally be upgraded to a 1080p camera, like the one on the 24-inch iMac. And the Touch Bar could go away or modified, and there should be a dedicated Touch ID button. Add it all up and you’ve got a spectacular upgrade and easily the biggest advancement for the MacBook Pro in years.

M1X Mac Mini

Apple released the M1 Mac mini about a year ago to replace the Intel-based models at the lower price points of the lineup. However, there’s still an Intel-based Mac mini for $1,099, the highest-priced standard configuration.

The $1,099 Intel Mac mini could be replaced at the “Unleashed” event. Reports say that Apple is working on a mini with an M1X SoC and a new case that’s half the height of the current Mac mini. The case could also be made with a material different from the aluminum  whatsmind that’s been used for years, possibly with iMac-style colors. It also will likely have have four Thunderbolt/USB-C ports and a pair of USB-A ports, ethernet, and HDMI.
