Those still looking to jump onto the Apple ecosystem but don't need quite as much performance and features would be better to consider the MacBook Air or even an iPad.

This device is probably a touch more than necessary for the general user: both in terms of power and price. Because of that, it received our Editor's Choice award, so it's still a good buy today even with the latest version getting a specs bump.

The battery life impresses, too, while the crisp Liquid Retina XDR display is one of Apple's best screens yet. In our MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) review, we found the M1 Pro chip at its core offers fine-tuned performance that takes it leaps and bounds above the competition. This is a compact and powerful laptop that comes with a considerable number of ports so you can finally leave all those dongles and hubs in the cupboard. The specification boost is worth the price bump, so creative professionals after a compact and portable workstation will definitely want this on your shopping list.Įven though it's now older, the MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) is still a standout device for creative professionals. Now we've had some proper hands-on time and published our MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023) review, we can safely say that this is a solid upgrade over the last generation model. However, the odds are very low, so expect to pay full price for the next few months if you're interested in one of Apple's newest premium laptops. There is the outside chance of a very small discount at retailers such as Amazon or Walmart as we've seen this before for previous models. Of course, given this MacBook is so new, it's highly unlikely that we'll see any deals at this early stage.

The standout feature is the inclusion of the latest M2 Pro and M2 Max chips that power the device, offering some extremely high levels of performance. The MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023) is one of two new laptops that were surprisingly announced by Apple in January.
