Damn, Apple. - Apple Unleashed Event reviews Apple’s latest MacBook Pro lineup powered by the new M1 Pro and M1 Max silicon. The first major portion of the video breaks down the architectural evolution from the original M1 to the new processors, highlighting increased CPU core counts, up to 32 GPU cores, and a dramatically improved memory bandwidth,up to 200 GB/s for the Pro and 400 GB/s for the Max. The creator notes that Apple finally labels benchmarks on their graphs and compares performance to prior MacBook Pro generations and even high-end workstations, while presenting caveats about variable benchmarking details. The segment also emphasizes how the notebooks ship with more unified memory, larger media engines capable of ProRes encode/decode, and a revamped display family that brings a 120 Hz dynamic refresh rate to macOS, all packaged in a thinner, heavier chassis with refined 3.5 mm bezels and a Face ID–style notch. The subsequent portions discuss ports, MagSafe return, and a reimagined keyboard with a full-height function key row, contrasting these choices with past criticisms like the Touch Bar. Finally, the video weighs pricing and configuration options, questioning perceived value and illustrating the cost of higher memory configurations while acknowledging competitive Windows laptops. A third section briefly covers AirPods updates and the absence of a rumored new Pro Mac Mini, concluding with a note on shipping timelines and a plug for sponsor Micro Center.
