However, after walking into the Apple Store and briefly putting my hands on the keyboard of the then-latest model, I was discouraged to say the least. I briefly debated whether or not to invest in a new MacBook shortly after graduating from university. In fact, many consumers complained that the keyboard had such an unreliable build that a class-action lawsuit has recently been allowed to proceed, arguing that its low-travel mechanism could be rendered useless by even the smallest amounts of dust or debris. Since mid-2015, Apple’s flagship laptops carried a thin butterfly keyboard that did not exceed expectations, to put it lightly. Rumors regarding the potential return of the Magic Keyboard are another reason why I’m excited. While the M1 chip is already impressive enough, having won the Tom’s Guide 2021 Breakthrough Award, who are we to complain about more CPU and graphics muscle? This new Apple Silicon component is set to be an upgraded version of the current Apple M1 chip, reportedly offering a sizable improvement in processing power.

And as we inch closer to the reported fall-time launch, my anticipation is building, especially if you listen closely to the features that the latest MacBook model will allegedly bring back from its 2015 version.įirst, let’s discuss the reports that the upcoming MacBook Pro 2021 is tipped to be powered by the new M1X Apple Silicon chip. The highly anticipated MacBook Pro 2021 is expected to launch some time in the ‘coming months’, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
