#2014 MACBOOK PRO 13 PROFESSIONAL#
The older M1 MacBook Pro-13-inch still fares better than many Windows-based laptops even despite its underpowered hardware when compared to both of its larger, newer siblings though, so if you're a student or working professional simply looking for a macOS device with a little more juice than the M1 MacBook Air (2020), it's still a worthwhile purchase. This wipes the floor with the original M1 chip that provides an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU, and can 'only' be configured with up to 32GB of RAM. The M1 Pro offers a 10-core design, a 16-core GPU and up to 32GB of RAM, while the M1 Max has a 32-core GPU and up to 64GB of memory with the same 10-core CPU. Until we get our hands on both versions though, we're relying on the prediction performance that Apple has provided, so you might want to hold off until some official reviews and benchmarks between the two appear.
If you need to decide which of the new Apple silicon chipsets will best suit your needs, we stacked them against each other in an M1 Pro vs M1 Max comparison. The MacBook Pro 14-inch has a choice of either of the new M1 chips, but opting for the more powerful M1 Max will leave your wallet significantly lighter. There are sacrifices you'll need to make when using one, but it's still plenty powerful enough to deal with most tasks, and now that it's considered an 'outdated' model you'll be more likely to find one at a discounted rate. The new MacBook Pro 14-inch has more configurations to choose from, allowing users to better optimize the laptop their needs – after all, paying for a device that's too powerful for your needs is a waste of money.Īlong that line of thinking, the older M1-powered MacBook Pro 13-inch laptop shouldn't be completely discounted. We've laid out the specifications for you to compare, and on paper, it's fairly easy to see which is the 'better' device.
