Product Information

HDR content comes to life in photos, video, and games with refined specular highlights, incredible detail in shadows, and vibrant, true-to-life colors. The 14-inch MacBook Pro 2021 trades Apple's previous philosophy — essentially "USB-C dongles are good enough" — for most of the ports that people need. Look at the 14-inch MacBook Pro side by side with the 13-inch 2020 MacBook Pro, and tell me you'd take the latter, with its smaller screen and thicker bezels. This project was provided to us by Apple (we’re not talented enough to do anything remotely as complex), and it was a great example of what the MacBook Pro 14-inch, and its M1 Pro chip, can handle. This is usually considered an inevitable compromise, with many people just accepting that if you want to do heavy duty tasks with your laptop, you’ll need it to be plugged in, but that means you can use it for other things when on battery.

I've not even heard the fans ramp up as I've opened dozens of tabs in Chrome (also while splitting the screen with the 1080p trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home). Pay in 3 is a form of credit, may not be suitable for everyone and use may affect your credit score. The footage we were editing in 8K was also in HDR, and the screen of the MacBook Pro 14-inch showed it off in all its glory. We don’t cover faults to your Mac caused by accident, neglect, misuse, normal wear and tear, or any alteration or repair carried out without our prior approval, each of which would invalidate the warranty.When Apple launched the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020), it boasted that it had the longest battery life ever in a MacBook, and our tests confirmed that, so when Apple revealed that the 14-inch could beat the 13-inch by whopping seven hours, we couldn’t wait to try it out for ourselves. The thinner bezels allow Apple to move the Menu Bar to the freed up space, and the notch only drops down far enough to be in that menu bar. While no interest is charged, any balance subject to a 0% for 4 months offer will be included in the calculation of your minimum repayment amount. In our own battery benchmark tests, where we played a looped 1080p video until the battery ran out, we found it lasted a very impressive 15 hours and 58 minutes, not too far off Apple’s 17 hour claims. We will always try and repair your original system however if for some reason this cannot be achieved to the level of quality we require then we will offer you a replacement system of equal type and specification with no additional cost to you.

On top of that, we've got an HDMI port and an SD memory reader, two ports that the MacBook Pro hasn't had since 2015. You can also find information about referring a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) at financial-ombudsman. This is pretty remarkable, as laptops usually throttle some of their most demanding components when using battery to help preserve battery life, which means a downtick in performance. The other major design change is when it comes to ports, with the MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) featuring three Thunderbolt 4 ports, one HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, and a MagSafe 3 port. Also even simple glossy screen can be more comfortable to use in sunny day than matte display if you place it against some dark wall/surface so it reflect it.Apple rates the new MacBooks as hitting peak brightnesses of up to 1,600 nits, but the highest we could get it, when using tricks to try and amp up the brightness, was 520 nits. Many of us have been asking for a MacBook Pro redesign for years, and with the MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) we finally get it. The GPU also comes with 4,096 execution units, twice as many as the M1 Pro, as well as twice the maximum concurrent threads (98,304 vs 49,512). Prior to joining Tom's Guide, he reviewed software and hardware for TechRadar Pro, and interviewed artists for Patek Philippe International Magazine. widescreen 3024x1964 (254 ppi, 1000 nits sustained, 1600 nits peak, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio) "Liquid Retina XDR" display and an integrated battery that provides an Apple estimated 11-17 hours of runtime.

This extra screen real estate is well used, offering you a much larger area to work on than the 13-inch model, without increasing the overall size of the laptop too much. These are crucial for anyone who extends their display or plugs in a camera memory card (respectively). The CPU has eight high-performance cores and two high-efficiency cores, and the M1 Pro will switch between these to optimize performance to whatever tasks you're running.Of course, you want a laptop of this calibre to do more than just web browsing, and when it comes to heavy duty professional-grade creative work, the MacBook Pro 14-inch really shines. Top brands like Apple, Samsung, Sony, PlayStation, and Xbox are all available at Gadcet and come with 12-month warranty. We've compiled the MacBook Pro 2021 benchmarks, and pitted them against the likes of the Asus ProArt StudioBook 16 and HP ZBook Fury G8, too — for Geekbench 5.
