Perhaps the biggest con of the new MacBooks with M1, especially this one geared towards professionals, is that you cannot change or upgrade the RAM because it is integrated into the SoC. MacBook Pro with M1 comes with up to 17 hours of wireless web browsing and an insane 20 hours of video playback.

Needless to say, however, that according to them, the new devices offer much more performance and especially efficiency than competitors. According to Apple, the new MacBook Pro with M1 is much more powerful than the predecessor and outperforms competing Windows PCs in both processing power and battery life.Īpple likes to throw around numbers like 5x the performance, but at this point there weren't any exact benchmarks or the company didn't disclose exactly to what they were comparing the devices to.
