While the Mac Mini and MacBook Air continue to have an easily defined place in the portfolio, the 13-inch MacBook Pro M1 sits awkwardly.

Launching alongside the Apple Silicon-powered MacBook Air and Mac Mini in 2020, the entry-level MacBook Pro enables Tim Cook and his team to promote the new ARM-based M1 platform as everything to everyone, with a desktop, a consumer laptop, and a pro laptop, all available at launch. However the range of devices tested matches the M1’s powered portfolio, so it’s a fair assumption that what we’re seeing is an essentially “same again but slightly bigger” upgrade path.Īnd that means Apple’s clumsy MacBook Pro will be with us for another two years.

Of course just because a device is being tested, there is no guarantee that it will actually reach the market.
