With the M1 Max system chip, the new MacBook Pro supports up to 4 external displays, compared to just one for the original MacBook Pro M1.
Other features include:
- 16-core Neural Engine to accelerate on-device machine learning and improve camera performance.
- A new display engine drives multiple external monitors (while the original MacBook Pro M1 only supported one).
- Additional integrated Thunderbolt 4 controllers provide more I/O bandwidth.
- Apple’s custom image signal processor, along with the Neural Engine, uses computer video to improve image quality for clearer videos and more natural skin tone on the built-in camera.
- Better security with Apple’s latest Secure Enclave technology, hardware-verified secure boot, and runtime anti-exploit technologies.
Among the disappearances, the Touch Bar disappears at the top of the keyboard and is replaced by the classic keys.
All Apple apps for Mac are optimized to run locally on Apple’s system chips, which have more than 10,000 global apps and plug-ins available. Existing Mac apps not yet updated for the M1s will work seamlessly with Apple’s Rosetta 2 technology, and users can also run iPhone and iPad apps directly on the Mac.
