The unit we're testing features 8GB RAM, which isn't as "Pro" as many will necessarily want. However, it's worth noting that you can only go up to 16GB of RAM in the new MacBook Pro.
There's no fan in the MacBook Air, which also now features the M1 processor. a fan - but this is so silent that we've yet to really hear it on the tasks we've been doing so far.

To ensure The MacBook Pro can keep running faster for longer Apple has included an "Active Cooling" system - i.e. Apps load incredibly quickly - almost instantly at times - and gone are the days of watching the icon in your dock bounce repetitively as you wait for things to happen. It also means other things, like instant wake the moment you start to lift the lid of the laptop, rather than having to wait for everything to kick into action.Īpple claims a 2.8x increase in processor performance compared to similar-spec 1.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor. That supposedly means a faster processor and the promise of vastly improved battery life. It'll be fascinating to see where it goes in the future - and how the industry responds. Overall, the M1 processor in the MacBook Pro feels like the start of something new and impressive. And if that's a fear, then it's probably best to wait a year to find out what the 2021 model will deliver. But be prepared to want the next MacBook Pro after this one even more. So, the big question: should you go for this MacBook Pro? If you're already hankering for an upgrade, and want vastly improved battery life, then it's a good shout. There's also the argument that Apple could have pushed the envelope further, adding features that are already commonplace on the iPad Pro - like eSIM, GPS, Face ID, or Touch - but we feel that wouldn't be the point for a laptop device like this. That leads us to expect that this is the first generation of this new experience - and that the second-gen will bring the radical overhaul in design and features that we're all craving. It's as if the company wanted to make sure the MacBook Pro delivered at least the same experience as before, before pushing what was possible. What Apple has focused on producing is a like-for-like experience compared to the Intel powered models it has previously offered. But the more we use the new MacBook Pro the more we feel that it's beyond business as usual thanks to epic battery life, oodles of power, and no issues with compatibility. We have to admit we were fully expecting Apple's claims for the new M1-powered MacBook Pro to be hyperbole.
