The new MacBook Pros offer the most ports, including HDMI and SD Card slot. The HDMI port is back, along with an SDXC card slot, giving media creators two of the most-missed connections back after having to fumble with adapters for the last model, which only had a pair of Thunderbolt/USB-C connections.

Where the 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020) jettisoned all ports other than Thunderbolt, requiring an adapter in order to plug in standard HDMI and USB connected devices, the 14-inch MacBook Pro offers some of the old favorites. It may be easier to tell them apart by weight, with the 13-inch MacBook weighing in at 3 pounds even, and the 14-inch MacBook Pro weighing slightly more at 3.5 pounds. The new 14-inch model manages to be extremely similar in overall size, making the most of the new thin-bezel display to fit a little more screen into a very compact design that measures 12.31 x 8.71 x 0.61 inches. But other changes include a new display with thinner bezels and a new display notch for the webcam, as well as a more robust port selection and a slightly different chassis shape that's less tapered than the previous MacBook Pro.Д«reaking it down into pure numbers, the 2020 13-inch MacBook Pro with M1 chip measures 12 x 8.4 x 0.6 inches. The most obvious change is that Apple has dropped the Touch Bar from its newest MacBooks. The iconic design of the MacBook hasn't changed much, in the usual Apple fashion, but the differences between last year's 13-inch MacBook Pro and this year's new 14-inch model are nonetheless significant.

The biggest improvements come in memory, with the new MacBooks offering double and quadruple the paltry 16GB maximum RAM of the 2020 model.Д«ut it looks as if the new chips may have opened up new possibilities in storage and ports as well, with storage scaling up to a whopping 8TB in stock configurations (the M1-equipped model tops out at 2TB), and increasing the number of ports, including high-bandwidth Thunderbolt 4 ports. Thanks to the new hardware, a number of other specs get improved, from memory to port selection. We'll discuss the potential improvements in detail later, but suffice it to say, these new chips will be a lot faster. The M1 Max steps things up again with 32-cores of graphics processing, up to 64GB of memory and twice the memory bandwidth. The M1 Pro boasts a 10-core design, an integrated 16-core GPU and up to 32GB of unified memory (that's Apple-talk for RAM). Both chips are beefed up considerably from the original M1 processor.

The new 14-inch MacBook Pro is available with your choices of two new Apple Silicon processors, the M1 Pro and the M1 Max.

The M1 was a revelation when it first came out, and we praised it in our review, saying 'Thanks to the M1 chip, the Apple Silicon inside this 3-pound beast runs circles around most Windows laptops when it comes to sheer performance.'

The 13-inch 2020 model was the first to be outfitted with Apple's M1 processor, the first Apple Silicon CPU offered in a Mac laptop.
