The M1 Pro/Max MacBook Pro is the greatest laptop of all-time.

No arguments left, just insulting? Not gonna waste my time with you any longer than.

Well said. iSheep insult is just not cool.

No arguments left, just insulting? Not gonna waste my time with you any longer than. You posted crap, I listed facts.

And nothing of those are major "flaws". If you regard a 1080p webcam or 1.55/1.68cm thin chassis as "flaws" then I wish you best luck finding a better alternative (or inventing one yourself). Hint: Currently there isn't one. Even PC masterrace users agree here, when focusing on hardware - software is something subjective. Whining about the notch or HDMI 2.0 is nitpicking. We had far worse issues before.

Do u think that I would buy Macbook Pro for 4000€ for fun (I do not need it I have windows laptop from company) if I would be whining? No. I do not care about notch (to be honest, I think Apple did well trying to extend display and people should see the positive side), I do not care about HDMI2.0 (but I think such modern laptop should be shipped with 2.1 as standard), battery I do not need so much as I want to have this Macbook as desktop alternative.

So, as I wrote I am not complaining but I do not have pink glasses and do not pretend that everything is superb!

Apple thought views like this were actually important, and for a few unfortunate years produced great-looking substandard crap that made their core users (creators) question their life choices. I'm so glad Apple have seen the light and given us a comparatively bulky 'ugly' laptop that actually is back on track and worthy of the pro moniker.

I also thought the laptop was less elegant than their predecessors, but then I went into an Apple Store to check them out and very quickly changed my mind.

These things are clean. I liked the tapers before but here the lid is so thin it actually doesn't need it; I don't even think there is room for it.

And the bottom looks like one piece; the aluminum is nicely finished (as always)...

Definitely better in person and very, very nice in my opinion. Not ugly AT ALL. It looks EXPENSIVE.

Can't wait for the new, ahem, "colored" Airs.

I traded in my 2013 Late MacBook Pro 15 for $400 after 8 years. Which Windows laptop can offer me $400 after 8 years? Please name one and I will personally give you $400 as a reward.
I think you hit the point at which some won't like it because they cannot afford one like you did. They need to vent out their rage in a way, so they will find whatever excuse they can to persuade other to do the same thing.
Haters always hate, they complain about EVERYTHING in their life including their significant others. Steve Job said once, "consumers don't know they want until you show them".
Mac was never designed for gamers, yet, these Windows gamers complain about the ability of playing games on Macs. If you need a personal computer to play elite games, just build one that can cost as much as $50,000; yet, they lack of money to do so.

Agree with this wholeheartedly, Best Mac since 2015

Best machine I've ever bought, and I bought in 2011 and 2015.

Its a return to the larger machines with more ports, but this time around performance in the 14" is smoking and yet it is still quiet when actually doing more than idling at the desktop!

STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP

I wish I needed a new Mac; you're making me so jealous!

This is the mbp I currently have. Mbp 15' late 2013.
I opened a topic for comparison with the new mbp 16' 2021 model.

MBP 15' late 2013 - vs - MBP 16' 2021

I have mbp 15' late 2013, with i7 cpu, 512gb ssd, and 16 gb ram. Still a decent machine. But I cannot tell for how long any more... I am ready to go for an order for mbp 16' 2021, with m1 pro cpu, 1tb ssd, and 32gb ram. I know, every subsystem of the new machine is multiple times upgraded and...

You really do hate those haters.

From the readers on this forum, looks like I really nailed the definition of haters in PC world.

I think that its really heavy compared to the Intel 16". But it doesn't get quite as hot, and the fans are well designed. The lid doesn't wobble when i move it around, it feels solid overall.

Three weeks into using the MacBook and I thought the display was great. Then I changed the desktop background to black. The screen looks the same whether it is on or off - just black. It's just not possible with traditional backlight. Now I appreciate the display a little more. (And hopefully increase the battery life a little.)

So, I just tried out Divinity Original Sin 2 on the 1 TB 14" M1 Pro spec.

default settings on a 4k external display (running in 1080p).

No fan noise. Quieter than the gaming PC I have on the desk next to it. Admittedly the gaming PC runs the game at 4k, but you'd expect that with a 6900XT.

The MacBook Pro 14" runs it 100% silent.

Now that's not a performance metric but its the first notebook I've ever used that can do something like that without a huge amount of fan noise.
