Apple's refreshed 16-inch MacBook Pro.

Apple released two new MacBook Pros at its October event, available in two sizes: a new 14-inch laptop and a 16-inch model. Both come equipped with Apple's new M1 Pro processor by default, as well as the option to upgrade to the new M1 Max processor -- which, of course, you'll pay more to get. Both new MacBook Pros house upgraded cameras, a notched display and HDMI, SD card and MagSafe ports, but the Touch Bar gets the heave-ho. The new laptops can be ordered today. (There was no update to the MacBook Air with M1 chip at this Apple event.)

Apple has unveiled a new, first-of-its-kind 14-inch MacBook Pro. It has a magic keyboard and a MagSafe charger, though you can still charge via the Thunderbolt ports. The price starts at $1,999 in the US.

The new 16-inch MacBook Pro comes with the same bells and whistles as the 14-inch model but its screen packs in 7.7 million pixels. It has a new sound system that features spatial audio. Its price starts at $2,499.
