Controversial opinion: The only thing that's overpriced about the Mac with Apple Silicon is the storage. Other manufacturers give you more for less, but in every other area Apple is no longer overpriced.

I am like not even really interested in the specifics of this laptop, just take the money now and send me one when it’s ready

I am apprehensive about the colour choices but luckily Apple is hesitant to give pros exotic colour choices so Soace Gray here we come.

But damn, I’d kill for a matte black. https://t.co/ZXXvvAiqPS
I’ll take two, please! (No really, I postponed getting a @RevenueCat work laptop until these were available. And I’m finally going to replace my 2015 iMac with a laptop for personal and @Contrast work.) https://t.co/W0Vf9LfBnf

The invites still went out the Tuesday prior. To me it feels like Apple might have been planning for Tuesday the 19th and bumped up to Monday due to Google's event. (Even though Apple would receive the most attention if the events were held on the same day.)

But hey, who knows.
A12Z came out 6 months after A13, but it’s a marketing decision at the end of the day

Personally, I think changing numbers in a way that doesn’t reflect IP generation would be confusing… for me. https://t.co/ZOvcdcyImR
Apple is about to SLAY the laptop market…
— EMKWAN (@emkwan) October 12, 2021
It’s going to be a bloodbath ?
My bet would still be on the obvious M1X name though. An M2 introduction is still eight months away at least, and Apple hasn’t shied away from this in the past when the iPad had A12X but iPhone was getting A13 in the same year (etc).
— Benjamin Mayo (@bzamayo) October 12, 2021
MacBook Pro 14 and 16:
— Dylan (@dylandkt) October 12, 2021
Mini Led displays
Smaller bezels with no bottom logo
1080p webcam
Base models will have 16gb of ram and 512gb of storage
Base M1X is the same configuration for both models
Pricing will be similar between 14 and 16 inch
New charging brick
The only downside of this Apple event, is that I am going to have to replace the visuals in my award winning TikTok:https://t.co/Q5RSfDqvJr

Here’s a question: will Apple call the new MacBook Pro chip the M1X or the M2X (or something else entirely)? M1X made sense 6 months after the M1, but now the M1X might sound outdated when the Air gets the M2 by mid next year. Impact of delays.
— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) October 12, 2021
Most likely M1X. Generation matters more than sounding outdated. The 2018 and 2020 iPad Pro used A12X and A12Z while the less expensive iPads were receiving A13 and A14 chips. M1X will be based on the ARMv9 A15 chip. M2 will be built on ARMv9. A16 will be based on the M2 chip. https://t.co/JyPpTxj0fz
— Vadim Yuryev (@VadimYuryev) October 12, 2021
This remains my guess… that we get more new Macs than just the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models at the #AppleEvent on Monday. Emphasis on the fact that I'm purely guessing. https://t.co/hXPWAK5jj5
— Joe Rossignol (@rsgnl) October 12, 2021
One thing I keep wondering is if something like the ProRes hardware acceleration blocks weren’t maybe designed for M1X and then brought over to A15?
— Rene Ritchie (@reneritchie) October 12, 2021
Pure speculation, but there could be hybrid “A14” and “A15” IP in M1X, depending on the timeline?https://t.co/67VpfSNpEA https://t.co/NUKhHuRixk
So many events in Techtober(Tech + October)!

— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) October 12, 2021
If you didn't catch my latest video, the configurations for the new MacBook Pro will be 16gb of RAM and 512gb SSD to start, upgradable to 32gb (no 64), and then 1, 2, 4, or 8tb of storage. As far as I'm aware this is on the 14" as well! https://t.co/yMcbvU8oaM

It’ll be interesting to see how Apple screws up the MacBook Pro colors this year #AppleEvent
— Tailosive Tech (@TailosiveTech) October 12, 2021
Been a while since Apple has held an event on a Monday (honestly can’t remember the last one!) which clearly means MacBooks because both words start with M.
— Dieter Bohn (@backlon) October 12, 2021
I like the sound of M1 Pro. M1 Max not so much, but not sure it’s necessary; 32-core GPU would just be an option, no extra branding needed. https://t.co/h27vdDHCMD
— Benjamin Mayo (@bzamayo) October 12, 2021
120Hz with oxide and miniLEDs.
— Ross Young (@DSCCRoss) October 12, 2021
In all my years covering Apple, I don’t think I’ve received more questions (keep them coming!) about any product than about the new MacBook Pro. There are high expectations and lots of anticipation.

So psyched for this:https://t.co/GkzGeidyzR
The rare Monday Apple event. Google is showing off the Pixel 6 on Tuesday — who knows if Apple wanted to avoid doing their launch on the same day, but I would be surprised if that was the primary reason. https://t.co/A19rUt18Pg
— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) October 12, 2021
Yes, new 14" and 16" MacBook Pro's will have miniLEDs and we believe they will also be 120Hz refresh.
— Ross Young (@DSCCRoss) October 12, 2021
Think of MacBook Pro 14” and 16” like MacBook Pro and MacBook Pro Max. They’re probably gonna have more or less the same internals with the difference being screen size. (Lol what if they actually call it MacBook Pro Max)

Another path Apple could choose to take: M1 Pro for the 16 core GPU, and M1 Max for the 32 core GPU. Both chips with the same 10-core CPU. Leverages the popular “M1” name. https://t.co/7NUVWG7Mc7
