MacBook Pro 14 (M1 Pro) Review

The MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) is the best laptop for creative professionals you can buy right now. It offers amazing performance, even on battery, and comes with the best screen you’ll find on a laptop anywhere. For day-to-day use, this won’t be the laptop for you, but for video editors, programmers, music producers and photographers, you won’t get a better laptop.

The MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) is the smaller of the two new MacBook Pros that Apple recently unveiled (the other being the MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021)), and it’s now powered by a choice of the M1 Pro and M1 Max, Apple’s most impressive chips so far.

What Apple has created here is hands-down the best laptop for creative professionals we’ve ever tested. In the past, people have criticized Apple for putting design over functionality, even despite its users’ wishes, which led to previous MacBooks coming with a paltry amount of ports just so that they could be thin and light. The good news is that Apple hasn’t just been listening to its customers, but it’s embraced their feedback.

So, the new MacBook Pro 14-inch comes with a great selection of ports, offering three Thunderbolt 4 ports, one HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, and a MagSafe 3 port for charging. If you’ve ever had to rely on a dongle to plug in extra peripherals, such as an external monitor or your camera’s memory card, with the 14-inch MacBook Pro you no longer have to do that. By aiming the MacBook Pro 14-inch squarely at professionals looking for a true mobile workstation, and leaving the thin, light and svelte design to the more mainstream MacBook Air, Apple has made a device that is arguably more niche, but far more successful.
