I never had to worry about running out of space to navigate. There’s never a moment of running out of navigation space and, thanks to stellar palm rejection, the cursor never went careening off from where I left it due to inadvertent palm contact. And if you’re so inclined, the MacBook also has the TouchBar, which can serve up helpful shortcuts depending on the app currently running.Īt 5.1 x 3.2 inches, the MacBook’s massive Force trackpad takes up most of the actual palm rest. The backlighting underneath the keycaps is bright enough to use in darkened settings, which is good for the hunt-and-peck typists out there. I easily surpassed my 70 words per minute average, hitting 76 wpm on the 10fastfingers typing test. I spent hours writing this review and never felt any discomfort. The company’s Magic keyboard delivers bouncy, firm feedback and combines that with large keycaps and generous key spacing.

Apple MacBook Pro keyboard and touchpadĪpple put the uncomfortable nightmare of its Butterfly keyboard behind it and my fingers are better for it. H.E.R.’s electric guitar seared the track, adding its own mournful testimony to the sad love song. Once it did, I could hear the breaths as she enunciated her words, particularly on the ts or a quick succession of ah, ah, ahs. As I listened to the Master version of Toni Braxton’s “Gotta Move On” on Tidal, my small living room/dining room was filled with the sound of cascading strings, slowly giving way to synthed-out keyboard and a strong beat –– all of this before the singer’s world-renowned sultry alto entered the soundscape. I didn’t expect much from the MacBook Pro’s stereo speakers, but I was pleasantly surprised throughout my testing. However, the XPS 13 was the brightest with 469 nits. That’s significantly brighter than the 386-nit average as well as the ZenBook (370 nits) and Spectre (369 nits).
The MacBook Pro’s panel is also plenty bright, peaking at an average of 435 nits. However, it’s still better than the Spectre (77.4%), the ZenBook (76.1%) and the XPS 13 (69.4%). That is short of our 84% premium laptop average. When we tested the MacBook Pro’s color reproduction capabilities, it registered 78.3% on the DCI-P3 gamut.

Her brown skin looked warm and healthy and the detail was so sharp, you could see the sunlight glinting off of individual strands of hair, showing off the chocolate lowlights throughout. My favorite scene had actress Jennifer Hudson, dressed in a rose red sweater with a powder pink blouse underneath. The trailer for the upcoming Aretha Franklin biopic, Respect, was alive with color. When all of your competitors are making the effort to shrink the unsightly black bars to barely-there levels, it makes no sense that Apple hasn’t followed suit. Something I can really do without are the thick bezels surrounding the 13.3-inch, 2650 x 1600-pixel Retina display. That means more vibrant colors which is always a good thing. The display also features P3 wide color gamut, which is a wider color spectrum than sRGB. The technology intelligently and almost imperceptibly adjusts the display’s color temperature based on how well or poorly lit the environment is, creating an optimal viewing experience at all times. However, Apple continues to tweak the formula, adding innovative technologies such as TrueTone to the mix. It’s simply not a MacBook without the Retina Display. Still, I wish there were four Thunderbolt ports like we see on the 16-inch MacBook Pro. There is a silver lining in that the Thunderbolt ports support USB 4, which can dole out speeds of up to 40Gb/s and a maximum of 15W of power. The 13-inch MacBook Pro continues to offer the bare minimum of ports with a headset jack on the right side and a pair of Thunderbolt ports. In short, the new MacBook Pro is everything Apple said and more. If that’s not enough, paired with Big Sur, you get blistering webpage load times and a better webcam experience –– all thanks to Apple Silicon. But still, the MacBook Pro 13-inch M1 ($1,899 reviewed, $1,299 starting) delivers impressive performance and has the longest battery life I’ve seen on a Mac.
Well I’m here to tell you that the hype train is well-founded, except maybe for that last one.

And Apple wasn’t shy about touting all the implications with grandiose and seemingly unheard of claims that these new MacBooks would deliver 3.5x the CPU performance, 6x faster GPU performance and outperform 98% of PC laptops on the market. So what’s behind the monumental change? Apple’s new M1 processor, the much ballyhooed component that signals the company’s break from Intel in favor of custom silicon. No, it doesn’t look like it, but this MacBook marks a new chapter in Apple computing, and computers as a whole.
