Rob Griffiths said, “The new Apple silicon 14-inch and 16-inch MBPs are excellent machines, with only one notchable, er, noticeable flaw. It’s exciting to have that kind of performance boost to look forward to.” The ‘1’ part of the M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max make it really clear more numbers are to follow.

Glenn Fleishman said, “God, it’s great for the Mac to be ascendent.

Zac Hall said, “The new MacBook Pro is fantastic, and the starting price makes my M1 MacBook Air seem like a steal!” While it’s still heavy, it’s thin and the battery life is mind-boggling.” Gabe Weatherhead said, “It feels like a lot of Apple’s previous obsessions with thinness and battery life are finally paying off with the new MacBook Pro. I could not be more excited about the future of this platform.”
DUE APPLE SAFARI SIXCOLORS FOR MAC
With the introduction of the iMac and the new MacBook Pro, Apple has truly entered a new era for Mac hardware. Myke Hurley said, “In the 10 years that I have been covering Apple, this is the most excited I have ever been for the Mac. I’m finally back to working with my Mac instead of just at my Mac.” Everything about the new MacBook Pro is efficient, from the chips to the placement of the headphone port. The one disappointment is that Macs still lack Face ID.”Īlex Cox said, “For the first time in years I find myself reaching for my MacBook Pro instead of my iPad or iPhone even to do small tasks.
Cohen said, “I made the transition from a spinning platter Intel iMac to an M1 iMac and I have to say that it was among the least problematic such transitions I’ve ever experienced in my nearly four decades on the Mac platform.”īrian Mattucci said, “The M1 Pro and M1 Max chips are truly impressive, and I look forward to hopefully seeing them in a top-end Mac Mini this year. I’m not sure there’s ever been a better time to be a Mac user.” It’s a flawless device and I’m still in awe every time I lift the lid on this portal into a future that other manufacturers are not even awake to, and even as they sleep, could never have had the imagination to even dream of.”ĭan Moren said, “I was super excited for the potential of Apple silicon with the M1’s release, but the M1 Pro and M1 Max have showed us that Apple can scale that performance way up. The MacBook Pro is now comfortably the greatest computing device I’ve owned in 40 years and second place isn’t even close. Shahid Kamal Ahmad said, “Apple’s volte-face on the extreme minimalism of the Ive era not only brought back ports, but exceeded my expectations on every metric. Though the transition is not yet complete, all the new and existing Apple silicon Macs are great: quiet, cool, reasonably priced, and fast, fast, fast.” The multi-colored 24-inch iMac is a breath of fresh air after nearly two decades of white and gray models. The new MacBook Pros have rescued that product line after years of decline and dysfunction. John Siracusa said, “Every new Mac Apple introduced in 2021 was a hit. Apple has redeemed some poor choices, and built a product that’s suited for the Pro moniker.
Tom Bridge said, “The 2021 MacBook Pro the most important product Apple has released since the 2012 MacBook Pro sported the first Retina display on an Apple laptop. The average slid by a half a point, but it’s still an A+ grade that’s among the highest we’ve seen in the history of this survey. Last year’s average score, 4.7, was hard to top-and so a little backsliding due to familiarity might not be too surprising. Grade: A+ (average score: 4.6, median score 5, last year: 4.7) Read on for category-by-category grades, trends, and commentary from the panelists. The net changes between 20 surveys is displayed below: Since I used largely the same survey as in previous years, I was able to track the change in my panel’s consensus opinion on all but one question compared to previous years. I received 53 replies, with the average results as shown below: They were prompted with 12 different Apple-related subjects, and asked to rate them on a scale from 1 to 5 and optionally provide text commentary per category. This is the seventh year that I’ve presented this survey to a hand-selected group. It’s time for our annual look back on Apple’s performance during the past year, as seen through the eyes of writers, editors, developers, podcasters, and other people who spend an awful lot of time thinking about Apple.
