Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 14:20 · Archive
Apple has released a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip offering improved performance in the same chassis used since 2021.
Apple has released a 14-inch MacBook Pro powered by the M6 chip on 6 November. The device starts at $1,999 with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, the same price as the M5 model it replaces but $200 more than the M5 launched a year ago. The M6 MacBook Pro maintains the same chassis Apple has used since 2021.
Internally, the M6 model features a 12-core processor, upgraded from the M5's 10-core configuration, and includes a new N1 networking chip. The device retains the 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, solid keyboard, webcam, and trackpad from its predecessor. Both outlets describe the M6 MacBook Pro as an incremental update delivering excellent all-around performance with impressive battery life and strong connectivity.
Apple is simultaneously releasing a redesigned MacBook Pro with an OLED touchscreen, a thinner and lighter build, and more powerful chips at a higher price point. The Verge notes that the OLED model's design is likely to become the standard entry-level MacBook Pro next year, making the M6 model potentially the last of its kind in its current form.
