One of the strongest attributes for Apple is its A-series processors. And now, maybe even more so, the M-series. Apple has galloped away from the competition in mobile and desktop because of these chips. There have been rumors that Apple is going to expand that effort in the future, with a recent report saying as much. Especially towards wireless chips.
Five new Apple silicon Mac computers are reportedly scheduled to land in 2022, including an entirely new baseline model of the MacBook Pro with Apple's next-generation M2 chip.
When the brand new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models were unveiled earlier this year, it went down as one of the more significant changes for the laptop lineup in ages. Yes, part of that was Apple welcoming back elements the company had decided on its own to remove. But, still. They saw the error of their ways and eventually corrected it. Hooray!
Apple has an iPhone Upgrade Program in place for general consumers, allowing for a single monthly payment and an easy path to upgrade to a new model when they want. Unfortunately, a similar program doesn't exist for the general populace with Macs. But! Eligible businesses can now sign up for their own option.
While the reality is that finding a product is a lot more difficult than it has been in the past, it appears to still be a good indication of how well something is selling if you can't find it at all. Which is why even though the brand new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro are probably just like every other piece of technology out there (including touchscreen in some vehicles), and hindered in supply by chip shortages, it would appear Apple's new professional laptops (or laptops for professionals) are selling quite well. Which also means that there are a lot of people out there with a brand new laptop that has a notch.
So, you're in the market for a new bag. Or maybe you're looking to buy a new bag for someone else. Either way, you're looking for some new gear and you've decided that a backpack is not the way to go. Which is where a messenger bag might be the better option for your laptop.
In October of 2021, Apple welcomed one of the biggest redesigns for the MacBook Pro lineup to date. Specifically, while the company did welcome back plenty of ports (much to the happiness of professionals out there), they also brought in mini-LED displays and a notch for the brand new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro. But the company isn't quite done shaking things up, with the middle of 2022 reportedly tuned up to present radical changes to the MacBook Air lineup.
Apple today confirmed an official release date for the highly anticipated macOS Monterey update. In the press release for its new MacBook Pros, the company noted that macOS Monterey will be available to the public on October 25.
Will there be a MacBook Air with a notch? According to a source, the next MacBook Air coming in 2022 will indeed feature a notched display for a more seamless look.
One of the things Apple executives have been pretty consistent about, even as macOS and iOS blur some lines with each new iteration, is the idea that the company is not trying to merge the two platforms. Meaning, a Mac is going to remain a Mac, and the iPad will continue to be whatever iPadOS defines it as. Of course, that could very well change down the road, but, for now, it appears Apple doesn't have any plans to change that.
There is a lot of power in an M1-equipped Mac, whether that's the newest 24-inch iMac, the 13-inch MacBook Pro, or even the MacBook Air. However, there are some limitations, too. Natively, an M1 MacBook is unable to output to a pair of external monitors at the same time. But Hyper is here with a fix.
When will Apple release the next MacBook Air notebook, powered by its next-generation silicon? If you ask a reliable analyst, the notebook is approximately a year away from today.
