Apple’s new MacBook Pro features a display notch, an SD card slot and an entirely new design – MobileSyrup

After months of rumours, Apple has officially revealed its refreshed MacBook Pro.

Most notably, alongside an entirely new design that’s a little more squared-off, the new version of the laptop features an HDMI port, an SD card slot and MagSafe 3. In several ways, the new version of Apple’s laptop seems to be an indication that Apple took the criticism surrounding its most recent 2016 MacBook redesign to heart.

The new MacBook Pro also features three USB-C/Thunderbolt ports. That said, USB-A has not made its return to the laptop, so the dongle life isn’t quite over.

On the screen side, Apple says that the laptop’s display is 24 percent thinner and will be available in two sizes, including 14.2-inches and 16.2-inches. The new MacBook Pro’s screen also features a 120Hz refresh rate and MiniLED technology, according to Apple. It’s worth noting that both laptops feature a display notch for their camera but as it stands right now, not Face ID.

Apple also confirmed that the new MacBook Pro will feature updated versions of its M1 chip called the M1 Pro and the M1 Max. Apple says that this new chip has been designed specifically with the MacBook Pro in mind.

Regarding its built-in camera, Apple says that the laptop’s shooter features a 1080p resolution with an f/2.0 aperture. In terms of differences between the two laptops, the 16-inch version features a six-speaker system with tweeters that are roughly two times larger than before.
