![]() ![]() With the launch of the iPhone 13, I also did the switch from being a long-time Android user. The 96W charger is included only with the 16-inch variant of the MacBook Pro.Īttractive Mac features that made me switch ![]() It’s not the faster charger out there, but it does the job. The other end of the MagSafe cable is terminated with a type-c connector that plugs into the white 60W power brick. It has a nice braided cable which is really flexible, almost like a shoelace. The old MagSafe charging connector has an LED light that changes color depending on the charging status. They managed to fit a six-speaker sound system with a pair of force-canceling woofers with support for spatial audio and Dolby Atmos. But Apple is currently the king when it comes to speaker sound quality on a laptop, and other alternative laptops are not even close. They can’t compare with a set of dedicated speakers, or a good pair of headphones. I need to also share a few words about the speakers on the MacBook Pro 14. Unfortunately, it isn’t the case here, and it’s probably a feature that will be included in a future generation as “another incredible feature from Apple”. I wouldn’t complain about it if Apple would have included FaceID next to the 1080p webcam. The only annoying thing is the hideous notch which resembles the one on the iPhone. Even at 500 nits, I think it’s plenty bright. Some apps showed up which allow you to raise the brightness levels to the maximum value, but I am not sure how good this is for the display in the long run. ![]() Keep in mind that most of the time, the screen brightness can be adjusted up to 500 nits, and the 1600 nits value is only reached when viewing HDR content. It has excellent color quality, it’s nice and clear but it’s also super smooth thanks to the ProMotion technology which allows the screen to refresh up to 120hz per second. With a resolution of 3024×1964 and a brightness of up to 1600 nits, this can easily be the best screen in your house after purchasing this laptop. Talking about the screen, the 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display is one of the star features of the new MacBook Pro 14. Gone is the horrible and fragile butterfly keyboard, which is replaced with a set of keys with much more key travel and an overall nicer feel. Underneath the screen, we get that new and improved keyboard present on the new MacBook Pro line. Next to it, we get two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a headphone jack while on the right side we get a single Thunderbolt 4 port and an HDMI 2.0 port. On the left side of the machine, the new MagSafe 2 connector makes a return and provides up to 100W of power for charging the laptop. I love the old-school look of the new Macbook Pro which somewhat resembles the old Core-Duo Mac Pro.Įven if most people say that it’s a thick laptop (and they’re somewhat right if you compare it with the Air) I think it’s just the right size to hold a large battery while also giving you more ports, an excellent keyboard, efficient cooling, and great speakers. Right from the start, the laptop design takes your eyes away and makes you fall in love with it. The whole process was really smooth and in less than 30 minutes, I was up and running. I got the package the next day, and I was very excited to take the laptop out of the box and set it up. This made me think about getting a better computer, and while the Studio was not available without waiting a few months, I decided to order the MacBook Pro 14 which was in stock. What’s even more interesting is that I felt my workflow is more efficient with MacOS and around the same time, the new Mac Studios were launched. I used a MacBook Air M1 with 8GB of RAM and 250GB SSD for about 2 weeks as a daily machine and I could not feel any sluggishness compared to my Ryzen 5 rig. Of course, I am talking about the MacBook Air M1 which is probably one of the best ultrabooks you can get right now, especially if you are not a PC gamer. Apple is able to deliver impressive performance while also keeping a compact form factor with a fanless design. Since Apple announced the M1 chip, I was pretty blown away by the performance you get from a tiny mobile CPU. Now, I want something reliable and stable which allows me to use the computer as a tool, and not as a tinkering device. Mostly because they were upgradeable and hackable and I was able to tinker with them to keep myself busy. Well, for most of my life I used a regular PC, and I rarely used laptops. 10 Where to buy the MacBook Pro 14? Why a MacBook? ![]()
