Messages on Mac gets better, too, with the ability to pin conversations and inline replies.

I’m more of a Chrome fan, but Safari users will like all the upgrades in Big Sur, including Safari extensions in the App Store, better tab design and password monitoring for better privacy. The lack of a touchscreen is expected but still disappointing when you consider that macOS Big Sur lets you download your iPhone and iPad apps. The design is exactly the same as before, which means you get the same 3-pound slab of aluminum.

I’ve saved the worst for last in this MacBook Pro M1 review. The older model’s webcam image was a splotchy mess by comparison. Even with very little ambient light the MacBook Pro M1’s camera captured a much brighter and clearer shot of my face. I put the new MacBook Pro M1 side by side with my old MacBook Pro and took a selfie with their webcams in my home office, and the difference was literally night and day.
But I do give Apple credit for improving the image quality and reducing the noise, thanks to the image signal processing delivered by the M1 chip.

I think we can handle full HD at this point.

I’m not about to give Apple a pass for continuing to saddle the MacBook Pro with a 720p webcam in 2020. If you haven’t heard these speakers before, you will be impressed. I then switched over to the acoustic version of A-ha’s “Take on Me.” The trill in Morten Harket’s voice was appropriately haunting as it soared. The Intel-based MacBook Pro 2020 lasted 10:21, so that’s a huge 6-hour difference. On the Tom’s Guide battery test, which involves continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits of screen brightness, the MacBook Pro M1 lasted an amazing 16 hours and 25 minutes. This is the two in the one-two punch that makes the MacBook Pro M1 one of the best laptops money can buy.
Note that this benchmark used Apple’s Rosetta 2 technology to run and it’s not a native app, so we expect even better results once Photoshop is optimized for Apple Silicon. The Dell XPS 13 scored a higher 588 but took a much longer 10:48, while the ZenBook 13 registered 743 with a time of 9:11. So how about Photoshop? On the PugetBench test, which performs 21 tasks (three times per run), the MacBook Pro notched a score of 576.6 and a time of 7 minutes and 3 seconds. The MacBook Air finished a bit behind the Pro at 9:15. The MacBook Pro M1 took only 7 minutes and 46 seconds to complete this task, compared to 18:22 for the XPS 13 and 17:51 for the ZenBook 13. For this test the application is optimized for Apple Silicon. The MacBook Pro M1 smoked all of its competitors on our Handbrake video editing test, which involves transcoding a 4K clip to 1080p. The MacBook Air M1 scored a similar 5,962. This number surpasses the 5,319 score from the Dell XPS 13 and the Asus ZenBook 13’s 5,084, and both of those machines pack 11th gen Intel Core i7 CPUs. On Geekbench 5.1, which measures overall performance, the MacBook Pro M1 scored 5,945 on the multi-core portion of the test.
Only once I started adding iOS apps to the mix did I start to see stuttering.
I pushed the MacBook Pro M1 to 61 tabs while writing this review and the performance remained rock solid, even while I was juggling multiple conversations in Slack and streaming Spotify. One of my biggest complaints about my older Core i5 MacBook from 2019 is that it can get bogged down easily when I have lots of tabs open in Google Chrome. The easiest way to sum up the MacBook Pro M1’s performance is that the barriers between you and getting stuff done melt away. We're hearing Apple is preparing both a MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch model with these features. All while adding in faster processors and adopting the flat-edge design language of the iPhone 12 and iPad Pro. Rumors suggest Apple will bring back MagSafe charging and the SD memory reader, and drop the Touch Bar. The MacBook Pro 2021, though looks to seriously improve on the current model. If you want more than 512GB of storage, 1TB costs an extra $400 while 2TB will run you $800. It costs $200 to go from 8GB to 16GB of memory. If you want to configure the MacBook Pro M1 yourself, there are a number of upgrades available.
