I hope we’ll also see an iPad Pro 11" with a mini-led screen - so have asked Apple to extend the return period of mine just in case ![]()

I’m so hyped.
Got an M1 Mac Mini with 16 gigs of RAM and… it’s not enough, isn’t it Docker ?
And to be 100% honest, I’m missing the mobility. Being behind my desk all day long is really boring.

What else have you bought Law? ![]()
Here’s what most people seem to be expecting:
- 14-inch and 16-inch models with the same performance across both machines.
- Slimmer bezels and no MacBook Pro logo below the display.
- Mini-LED displays with ProMotion and resolutions of 3024 x 1964 and 3456 x 2234, resulting in higher contrast and brightness, as well as smoother on-screen motion.
- 1080p webcam for improved video calls, up from 720p on the current models.
- Flatter design, more akin to the design of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13.
- Six ports, including two Thunderbolt ports and a MagSafe charging port on the left side of the machine, and an HDMI port, a Thunderbolt port, and SD-card reader on the right side of the machine. This means that there are three Thunderbolt ports expected, one less than on current high-end MacBook Pros.
- No OLED Touch Bar, with full-size physical function keys instead.
- “M1X” chip with a 10-core CPU that features eight high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores, along with 16-core and 32-core GPU options, and support for up to 64GB of RAM.
- Improved thermal design for the 14-inch model, mirroring the improvements that came to the 16-inch model in 2019, including a larger heat pipe and heat sink, as well as added thermal pads.
- High-Power Mode to optionally boost performance when not connected to power.
- 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage as standard with the base configurations.
- Larger battery for the 14-inch model and a slightly smaller battery for the 16-inch model, relative to the current models.
- MagSafe charging like older MacBook Pro models, now featuring faster charging speeds and a redesigned power brick.

Yeah, I’ve used it like twice to launch IDEA tasks but, since I use my MBP mainly in clamshell mode, well… It doesn’t really provide something useful.
I think it was much more of POC for Apple to use ARM based chip beside an Intel one.
