The M7 Pro and M7 Max are scheduled for as early as the end of 2027, while the M7 Ultra is on track for 2028.
This means there won't be a redesigned MBP this year since there won't be M6 Pro/Max chips. People were expecting a redesigned slimmer MBP with OLED display later this year, myself included.
I was holding out for one until I decided to switch from an M1 Pro 16" MBP to an M5 Air 15" due to the expected price increase. I think many M1 Pro/Max generation people were waiting to upgrade this year.
- GeekyBear 4mo ago> This means there won't be a redesigned MBP this year since there won't be M6 Pro/Max chips. They can release a redesigned MBP with the base M6 chip.
- aurareturn 4mo agoThey can, it wouldn't make sense from a marketing and optics perspective. They don't want to tell the world how the new redesigned MBP is the best laptop in the world but it's slower than the older MBPs.
- bombcar 4mo agoThe optics and marketing is already fucked, the MBP goes to M5 Max, the Mini has the M4, the Studio has M2 or M3, the iMac apparently has two different kinds of M4s, it's all fucked.
- aurareturn 4mo agoAir and Pros are the flagship products.
- rjrjrjrj 4mo agoThey released the M5 MacBook Pro last fall, but didn't release the M5 Pro and Max models until the spring.
- Schiendelman 4mo agoIt seems likely the MB Ultra will ship with the M5 Ultra.
- keldaris 4mo agoIsn't that switch basically a downgrade? You get some more single core performance and some weight savings, but also a worse (and smaller) screen, less multicore performance, less GPU performance, less video encoding performance and a smaller battery? I'm on an M2 Max myself, and glad they introduced a larger form factor Air, but it seems like a long way from an upgrade.
- aurareturn 4mo agoM5 is faster than the M1 Pro in ST, MT, GPU. Not sure about video encoding as it's something I rarely use. It's a smaller battery but overall a battery life improvement since my 5 year old M1 Pro only had 79% battery capacity left.
- asimovDev 4mo agoCurrent MBPs are such a delight, I really don't want to think about a thinner MBP again, I just get shivers remembering the Ive butterfly keyboard models
- aurareturn 4mo agoI can see why people would want a more powerful machine but as someone who moves around a lot, the 16" MBP weight is a pain. The 14" MBP screen is not big enough.
- asimovDev 4mo agoany reason to go with the Pro versus Air if power is not a requirement? Screen quality / number of ports?
- aurareturn 4mo agoDefinitely the screen. Huge difference going from the Pro to Air. The extra ports are nice along with better speakers.
- harrouet 4mo agoGet a 15" MBA...
- aurareturn 4mo agoI did! The actual laptop I want is an Air 15" with 120hz OLED screen.
