Notably, the MacBook Pro got thicker and heavier with its most recent redesign in 2021. That redesign corresponded with the MacBook Pro’s transition to Apple Silicon, as well as the return of ports such as MagSafe, HDMI, and an SD card slot.
Yeah and the chunky MBP is fucking dope. It has loads of ports, great battery life, doesn’t burn with the intensity of 10,000 suns under load, and feels incredibly sturdy.
I have a 14” M3 Max MBP for work and I have to agree, the design is fantastic. The weight and thinkness have never been an issue for me, and it’s nearly silent unless I have all cores maxed out for more than a couple of minutes. Battery life is phenomenal too, I love when traveling that it can make it through an entire day no matter what I throw at it. If they ruin that for me I’ll be so disappointed.
Yeah I love mine. After having one of the 2017s that suffered from the infamous keyboard issues as my work machine, the apple silicon ones feel like a return to quality engineering. I really hope they don’t screw around with that.
And fwiw, I love my mb air m2 (going from a 2017 mbp) . So if someone DOES prefer something thinner with the tradeoffs that entails, that product already exists!
I thought we did this already and came to the conclusion that thinness only matters up to a point, then it’s just removing battery life/functionality/durability chasing a benchmark that nobody actually cares about. Oh well, hopefully they learned their lessons last time and it’s better this go around.
I’m sorry but you clearly aren’t listening. Apple is telling you you want thinner.
I just want another mini phone, it’s nice they are making them lighter but I want something I can use with one hand. Not a brick that’s been sliced slightly thinner. I want another iPhone mini with usb c and better battery life
Apple: “Our new chips are more efficient so we can make devices thinner with a smaller battery and still get 10 hours of battery!”
Everyone: “Or just keep them the same and use a bigger battery to get, like 15-20 hours of battery?”
Apple: “NO.”
More adapters, less connectivity, less battery power and less durability.
Sounds great for Windows sales.
They are going to make them thinner so they can eventually make them foldable.
What would I fold a Macbook Pro into? Quarters?
Imagine unfolding the screen into an even bigger screen 🤩
