News & Reviews:   Apple MacBook Pro

The Apple MacBook Pro is easily one of the most popular high-end laptops for creators these days. And when it comes to creators, a touchscreen can be useful if they want to sketch directly on it. However, that might never become a reality.

When Apple launched the new MacBook Pro models earlier this week, the company also unveiled its two new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. Based on last year's highly successful Apple M1 chip, the new models are expected to perform much better. Interestingly, one of the new features could boost performance even further.

Today, the main highlight of the Apple Event was none other than the new revamped MacBook Pro as expected. Not only did it get a slightly new design but it also has two brand new chipsets that may be too overpowered. Read on below to read about the new tech specs and features.

In just a few more hours, Apple will be hosting the Apple Event and we will likely be seeing new MacBook Pros. Although it's not confirmed, there is some rumoured news that the new MacBook Pro could have a notch on its display.

So out of nowhere, Apple just announced another event that will happen on the 18th of October 2021. Heading into the Apple Malaysia website, the livestream Apple Event will start at 1 AM on 19 October which can be viewed on the website or the Apple TV app.

Based on a statement by Apple Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, it seems that this year’s MacBook Pro laptops are expected to come equipped with an HDMI port as well as a built-in SD Card reader. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is officially available in the global market.

A statement by Ming-Chi Kuo seems to hint that the Apple MacBook Pro that’s coming this year will come with a more squared-off design and MagSafe connector but no Touch Bar. While our source did not provide an expected release date, it does give us a better idea on what to expect when the laptop is officially available in the global market.

It's been a month since Apple introduced the new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini. Not only are these laptops and desktop new but they are also equipped with the latest M1 processor made by Apple. Finally after a month, the products are now available on the Apple Malaysia website.

Rumour has it that Apple will release a new lineup of MacBooks with a new look and the M1 chips in H2 2021. Although it's still a long time to go, a new leak might be giving us a peek beforehand at a feature that the new MacBooks might have. The leak suggests that the future MacBook Pro could have its Touch Bar upgraded with a Force Touch sensor for more interactions.

Apple recently announced their new M1 chip powered MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini with plans to transition their Mac line-up with the new M1 chips and beyond over a 2-year transition period. So in effect, Apple have stopped using Intel chips for their Macs and won't be using them again for the next 2 years. Should you trust Apple's new M1 chip powered Macs?
