In our M1 Pro MacBook Pro 14 review, we praise its sleek, elegant design, stunning display, and ample array of ports. This Editor’s Choice award-winning laptop is an incredible system for power users with the 8-core M1 Pro chip offering both performance and stamina, the mini-LED backlit display packing incredible color and definition, and the 14-core GPU crushing the most demanding tasks. To test its performance, we launched 70 open tabs of Google Chrome and a few YouTube videos and Twitch streams. The MacBook Pro showed no signs of slowing down. In our lab, the MacBook Pro notched a score of 12,477 on the Geekbench 5.4 overall performance test which beats the 4,906 premium laptop average. With a weight of 3.5-pounds and measuring 12.3 x 8.7 x 0.6-inch MacBook Pro, the M1 MacBook Pro is ultraportable. It weighs less than the Dell XPS 15 (4.3 pounds, 13.6 x 9.1 x 0.7 inches), Microsoft Surface Studio (4 pounds, 12.7 x 9 x 0.8 inches) and Razer Blade 14 (opens in new tab)(3.9 pounds, 12.6 x 8.7 x 0.7 inches). Connectivity-wise, the MacBook Pro 14 sports a full HDMI port, SDXC card reader, and three Thunderbolt 4 ports. It also equips you with a headphone jack and MagSafe charger. If you’re due for a new laptop and want the best, the MacBook Pro 14 is a solid choice. Especially at $250 off.
