Just now, Apple held its second press conference this fall.
Everyone will certainly be curious about whether the new products will be fried or not at the press conference called "Come to the Fried Field" by Apple.
Brother Ji can say responsibly that it’s too fried!
Because Apple released a performance monster today … This thing completely made me look silly.
Yes, you are not mistaken. The newly designed MacBook Pro has come with bangs.
Boy, we are looking forward to getting rid of the bangs on the iPhone every day. As a result, Apple "intensified" and popularized it to the Mac product line.
Just guess, what an incredible thing did Apple do?
The same is Liu Hai. This time, the MacBook Pro only brought a Liu Hai with an ordinary 1080P camera, and did not support Face ID face recognition.
Do you feel that your blood pressure is coming up? Why do you get bangs if you don’t get Face ID?
There is only one purpose for Apple to do this: to increase the proportion of screens.
The MacBook Pro released today is divided into 14-inch and 16-inch models.
If they are put together with the design of the previous generation, it is easy for the airplane friends to see that the previous black edge seems to be able to stop the aircraft carrier.
And like the design idea of iPhone, the areas on both sides of Liu Haiping belong to the status bar.
Usually, it is to display menu, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, time and other miscellaneous things ~
Machine brother watched the application of Apple’s official demonstration. When it was really used, the areas on both sides of bangs would only be dark.
So this design idea is really a little strange …
However, if we only talk about the screen of MacBook Pro today, it will be an "epic update".
screen
Brother Ji asked everyone, what is the biggest update of iPhone 13 Pro this year?
Yes, it’s a ProMotion dynamic refresh rate screen, which can go up to 120Hz.
A month later, we can see today that Apple brought a high refresh rate of 120Hz to the MacBook Pro.
Only in terms of screen material, unlike the iPhone 13 Pro OLED screen, the MacBook Pro uses a mini?LED screen.
Yes, it is the iPad Pro 12.9-inch technology released in the first half of this year.
How awesome is it? Apple has engaged in many 1′ s and 0′ s in official website:
The daily maximum brightness is 1000nit, and the excitation peak brightness reaches 1600nit.
If you have a computer friend who uses the computer outdoors, you finally don’t have to be afraid to see the screen clearly this time.
Anyway, brother Ji is holding a MacBook Pro with a brightness of only 500nit in the previous generation, and now he is crying.
In addition to the screen with high screen ratio, the design of this MacBook Pro only leaves a few words in the mind of the machine brother: all are back.
Keyboard and interface
In 2016, Apple gave the MacBook Pro a "Touch Bar" design, which is to cut off the Fn function key at the top of the keyboard and replace it with a sub-screen:
After five years of tossing, this time Apple finally gave up resistance and changed back to the physical function button.
As the machine brother said above, although the newly designed MacBook Pro is Liu Haiping, it is not a Face ID. How to unlock it?
Let’s take a look at the keyboard area. In the upper right corner, the Touch ID fingerprint is unlocked, and a groove design is added to facilitate blind operation.
Since 2016, it is not only the physical Fn function keys that have been cut off …
If you have used the MacBook Pro in recent years, you should know that there are only two or four USB-C interfaces up and down the whole fuselage.
Why did you tell me this is a productivity tool?
Finally, finally, finally, five years later, Apple made all the interfaces it should have.
HDMI port, got it.
SD card slot, got it.
Lightning strike 4, got it.
3.5mm headphone jack, got it.
The iconic MagSafe magnetic charging is also available.
Really, brother Ji has been waiting for this day for a long time … This is the real productivity tool, and you don’t have to bring a bulky docking station when you go out.
It can be said that as long as Apple pulls these things back, it is already a huge upgrade.
However, when it comes to MagSafe magnetic charging, there is something new in the third generation this time.
For example, charge …
It may not be believed by the machine friends. This time, the MacBook Pro is 16 inches and supports up to 140W fast charging.
This radical charging scheme is simply not like Apple’s.
The 14-inch model also has 67W and 96W.
Alas, brother Ji begged the team of MacBook to urge the iPhone team next door. Can we charge the whole iPhone 14 in a decent way next year?
All the above are design changes.
In fact, after watching the press conference, the machine brother realized that Apple’s "explosion" refers to the bursting of performance.
Because the two new MacBook Pro, equipped with processors, is a bit exaggerated.
Please pay attention to the next content, the whole process is high energy! Fasten your seat belt, brother Ji is leaving.
Do you still remember, on November 11th last year, Apple released its first self-developed computer chip: M1.
The performance is bursting, the battery life is long, and it can run iOS App…… … It has suddenly become a hot spot in the technology circle.
Now that a year has passed, it is time to upgrade. Therefore, we see today that the upgrade of M1 has come.
M1 Pro and M1 Max chips
Just listening to this name, it seems that Apple likes to compete with Pro Max in recent years.
This time, the CPU of the two processors is the same design:
A brand-new 10-core CPU consisting of 8 high-performance cores and 2 high-efficiency cores.
According to Apple, the CPU performance of M1 Pro and M1 Max is 70% higher than that of M1.
Please note that the object of this comparison is Apple’s own M1.
If compared with the Intel processor of the previous generation 13-inch MacBook Pro, it is a big kill.
The CPU performance of M1 Pro and M1 Max is 3.7 times that of Intel Core i7.
Twice as much as the previous generation 16-inch MacBook Pro Core i9 …
Brother Ji remembered that the CEO of Intel also said yesterday: We should use chips with stronger performance to win back Apple as a customer.
As a result, only one day later, Apple seems to have hammered Intel with M1 Pro and M1 Max.
No wonder netizens are sending this stalk map now:
Alas, this wave, you can only blame Intel for squeezing toothpaste for several years.
However, the computer brother just said the CPU part.
If you talk about GPU, this time Apple gave M1 Pro and M1 Max, which really piled up.
And the GPU is also the difference between the two processors:
M1 Pro’s graphics processor is configured with up to 16 cores, while M1 Max is equipped with up to 32 cores.
Look at the area comparison of this chip:
In terms of GPU performance, M1 Pro is twice that of M1.
Think this is over?
M1 Max said: You are all younger brothers.
The GPU of M1 Max is four times that of M1.
Brother Ji thinks that the person who bought the MacBook Pro last year was lost by backstab.
Next, it is more exciting.
Compared with the 13-inch MacBook Pro equipped with Intel i7 processor, the GPU performance of M1 Max is 13 times higher.
You know, the M1 series GPU, to put it bluntly, is a nuclear display.
If you put it with Duxian, can you play?
Apple said, yes.
Compared with the previous generation’s 16-inch MacBook Pro, AMD’s Radeon Pro 5600M has increased by 2.5 times and 4 times respectively.
It seems that overnight, the strongest nuclear display in the universe was born.
However, brother Ji wants to say but, this is not the most horrible thing.
Even more frightening is that Apple has reduced power consumption while achieving stronger performance.
Take the GPU as an example. Under the same performance, Apple lost 100W of power consumption.
No wonder when the press conference is in progress, the comment area below is being brushed. What kind of alien technology is this?
The chip power consumption is reduced, which brings the most direct impact, that is, the battery life is longer and the heat is less.
This time, the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro can last up to 17 hours and 21 hours respectively when playing video continuously.
The machine brother turned over the battery life of the previous generation 16-inch MacBook Pro, and the film was only played for 11 hours.
In other words, the battery life of the new machine just released has almost doubled.
Oh, by the way, the memory of the previous generation M1 chip was criticized as too small, and this time Apple also made up for it.
This time, the starting point is the combination of 16GB+512GB.
And the maximum storage space can reach 8TB, and the maximum flash memory is 64 GB …
Seeing this, do you think that the MacBook Pro equipped with M1 Pro and M1 Max is very strong and has no shortcomings?
Emmm, of course not. Apart from the bursting performance, the price this time is also bursting.
price
The new MacBook Pro 14-inch model starts at 14,999 yuan.
That’s not all. 14,999 yuan can only buy the "youth version" with 8 cores. If you want to experience the "full blood version" with 10 cores, you have to add 1,500 yuan.
Brother Ji had to feel that Cook’s knife method is becoming more and more exquisite.
The brand-new MacBook Pro 16-inch, like the previous generation, still starts at 18,999 yuan.
And in terms of configuration, the 16-inch version is not castrated.
At this point, the machine friends must be very curious. According to Apple’s style, there will definitely be the most expensive "Emperor Edition".
Brother Ji also took a look, and the top match of 16 inches +64GB+8TB was 45,999 yuan.
Apple also told me very "intimately" that after 24 interest-free periods, it was 1917 yuan a month.
It’s really you.
Well, all the models released today will be officially released next week.
Let’s say a few words at last. Although the two new MacBook Pro are really strong, very, very strong, for most people, they don’t need that performance.
Unless you are a video worker, graphic design, 3D rendering, software developer and other professionals, Mr. Ji suggested that everyone should consider it.
Jiang Wei made a video summary, which you can refer to:
I think, if you really want to buy a MacBook and enter the macOS ecosystem, the MacBook Air with M1 chip starting from 7999 yuan is the choice suitable for more people.
However, in the past year, Apple has really shown a muscle through three computer processors: M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max, which proves its chip research and development ability.
Perhaps, this is why it dares to shout out the slogan "Come and blow up the field".
At this conference, Apple brought a total of four new hardware products.
Like AirPods 3, which many machine friends have been waiting for a long time, Machine Brother will give you a detailed explanation in the second article today. Machine friends remember to go and see it.
