Apple unveiled the new MacBook Pro at the “Power Fully Open” event before dawn on the 19th. The screen sizes are 14 inches and 16 inches, of which the former is positioned to be the successor to the old 13-inch model.

The processors installed in these are Apple’s proprietary “M1 Pro” and “M1 Max” chips. It is a new SoC introduced for the first time in about a year from the first Apple silicon “M1” for Mac (later adopted for iPad Pro), and it has twice as many transistors as the previous generation. As a result, the new MacBook Pro has increased CPU speed by up to 70% compared to the previous generation, and has achieved further performance.

Apple M1 Pro and M1 Max have a maximum CPU configuration of 8 high-performance cores and 2 high-efficiency cores. On the other hand, the GPU configuration is differentiated as a maximum of 16 cores and 32 cores, and it can be selected according to the graphic performance required by the user. By the way, the Neural Engine that processes machine learning has 16 cores and is deferred from the M1 chip.
Furthermore, it is possible to install up to 64GB of RAM, which is rare for a notebook PC. It is said that by adopting the Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) like the M1 Mac, it secures a memory bandwidth of 200GB / s to 400GB / s (different between Pro and Max).
And the advantage of “high performance but excellent power saving performance” that was popular with M1 Mac has been inherited. With just one charge, you can compile up to 4x code with Xcode and edit images up to 2x longer with Lightroom Classic. The 14-inch model can play up to 17 hours of video, and the 16-inch model can play up to 21 hours of video, which seems to be exceptional among notebook PCs on the market.
In addition, the design of the M1 Mac3 model was an extension of the conventional model, but the design has been completely redesigned in the new MacBook Pro (2020), and it will be a full model change since the drastic change occurred in October 2016. I am.
First of all, the Liquid Retina XDR display with a mini LED backlight was adopted for the first time as a MacBook product. It is an extension of the M1 12.9-inch iPad Pro, which adopted a mini LED in advance, and also realizes a maximum 120Hz ProMotion (variable refresh rate). In addition, the specifications that the continuous brightness reaches 1000 nits and the peak brightness reaches 1600 nits (HDR) are almost the same as those of the iPad Pro.
Apple
However, it differs from the iPad Pro in that it has a notch (notch at the top of the screen) like the flagship iPhone of recent years. However, there is no Face ID for face recognition like the iPhone 13, and the notch contains the FaceTime HD camera improved from 720p of the previous model to 1080p (which was in the upper bezel in the conventional model). It is a pattern.
Also, the number of external ports has been greatly increased compared to the previous model. The elements of the MacBook Pro a few years ago, such as the MagSafe charging terminal (new specification is “MagSafe 3”) fixed with a magnet, SD card slot, and HDMI terminal, are almost restored. The Thunderbolt 4 port has also been increased from two to three on the previous model.

On the other hand, the controversial display with touch panel “Touch Bar” was abolished, and physical function keys came to the site. Beyond the realm of redesign, it has undergone a bold transformation with the feeling of “totally denying the new elements introduced in 2016.”
Apple
Others The M1 MacBook Pro had only one external display, but it has been increased to two or more. This means that you can connect up to three Pro Display XDRs and one 4K TV on models with M1 Max, and up to two Pro Display XDRs on M1 Pro models.
In addition to that, it also supports 4K ProRes video playback of up to 20 streams, and it seems that it also corresponds to ProRes video shooting with iPhone 13 Pro model.
The standard configuration is 2 types of 14 inches and 3 types of 16 inches. All prices include tax.
14 inch model
8-core CPU, 14-core GPU, 16GB unified memory, 512GB SSD storage is 239,800 yen
10-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 16GB unified memory, 1TB SSD storage is 299,800 yen
16 inch model
10-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 16GB unified memory, 512GB SSD storage is 299,800 yen
10-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 16GB unified memory, 1TB SSD storage is 321,800 yen
10 core CPU, 32 core GPU, 32GB unified memory, 1TB SSD storage is 419,800 yen
We will start accepting purchases from today and will ship from October 26th.
