It’s likely that there will also be people upgrading from the 16-inch 2019 model who are eying up the 14-inch MacBook Pro instead. So, it’s a bit more expensive than the previous model, but the improvements Apple has made to the design and performance of the MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) has made this jump in price justified for many people. Meanwhile, the 2019 model with Intel hardware and an AMD Radeon Pro graphics card started at $2,399 (£2,399, AU$3,799) for a 6-core Intel Core i7 processor, AMD Radeon Pro 5300M 4GB GPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. That’s not a bad price considering you get a much bigger screen. If you wanted a 14-inch with the 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 32GB of memory and 1TB SSD, it will cost you $3,299/ £3,199/AU$4,949, which is around $200/£100/AU$300 cheaper than the similarly specced 16-inch model. The more powerful 14-inch model with a 10-Core CPU, 16-Core GPU M1 Pro chip, 16GB Unified Memory and 1TB SSD storage will set you back a hefty $2,499 / £2,399 / AU$3,749.īoth sizes can be configured, so you can get a 14-inch with an M1 Max if you wish. However, this M1 Pro is slightly less powerful, as it has an 8-core CPU and 14-core GPU. The MacBook Pro 14-inch is a lot more affordable, then, as it starts at $1,999 / £1,899 / AU$2,999 for a model with the M1 Pro chip.

Ports: 3x Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C), HDMI, SDXC card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, MagSafe 3 Screen: 16.2-inch, 3,456 x 2,234 Liquid Retina XDR display (mini-LED, 1,000 nits sustained brightness, wide color P3 gamut, ProMotion technology)
