Whats Included

MacBook Pro 14" Laptop - Apple M1 Pro chip - 16GB Memory - 512GB SSD (Latest Model)
67W USB-C Power Adapter
USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable (2 m)

Q: Whats in the box??? Charging cord???

A: Included in the box: MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable (2 meters) USB-C Power Adapter

Q: I am a Best Buy TotalTech member. Will this come with Apple CARE?

A: Yes.

Q: Other than screen size, please compare the 14” to the 13 “ MacBook Pro. Are there other differences?

A: The MacBook Pro 13 that just came out with M2 is considerably weaker than this MacBook Pro. This MacBook Pro with M1 Pro is way powerful, also has better screen, mag safe charging, and more ports, and better speakers. The only thing that the 13 inch Mac has over this Mac Book is price and the Touch Bar.

Q: I dont see touchbar in the photo, did apple removed it in the latest pro models?

A: yes. the touch bar is gone

Q: Is this a great laptop for photoshop and editing?

A: definitely yes, the XDR mini led screen is perfect for photo editing and is not as small as the 13 'one and since it has dedicated hardware for encoding and decoding certain video formats (h.265, h.265, pro red raw) make it perfect for video editing, if you come from a previous model based on Inter you will see the difference

Q: With this Laptop can you use an iPad air as a second monitor? I have seen where you can link the two together but on my current laptop (MacBook pro-2015) it will not allow you to do so. So I was wondering if this model will allow me to link the two.

A: This model supports side car and universal control so you should be good to go hooking up an iPad as a secondary display.

Q: Does it support 220volts as well ? Plan to buy this in US and send it overseas.

A: it will. you just need to get the overseas plug adapter which is normally 5$ or so from travel section

Q: Is there a way I can upgrade to the 97W power adapter, like the option available in the apple store?

A: Yes, you can get the 96w charger, but it looks like its backordered for a few months!!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Pleasantly surprised with this laptop!
Let me just say, that at the current sale price (which may or may not be still going on at the time you read this review), this laptop is an absolute steal! I've been a lifelong Windows user and never even looked at Apple computers, but recently, I've been looking for a new laptop and after trying a couple of highly rated Windows laptops, found them to be disappointing, especially their battery life and thermal and acoustic performance, since virtually all laptops in the higher performance tier are still too hot and loud, with mediocre battery life. So, out of frustration with the current PC laptop market, I decided to give an Apple laptop a try. I knew going in that they have great battery life, performance, and supposedly run cool and quiet. I picked up the MacBook Pro 14, and I was simply blown away! Yes, it runs fast. I do some video editing and graphic design, and it handles Photoshop and DaVinchi Resolve flawlessly. I also play some games, mostly strategy, and it runs them too! What I like the most, is how it doesn't lose any performance when running on battery, vs plugged in. Sure, playing a game like Cities Skylines will likely drain the battery in 2-3 hours, but it's amazing to actually be able to play it, with high resolution and graphics settings, on a laptop, with no cables attached! And it's smooth. The screen is beautiful. The mini LED is basically like having an OLED colors and contrast, but 3-4X higher brightness. It looks stunning. The computer is virtually silent. The fans stay off 95% of the time (with my use), and even when playing a demanding game, I only know they're running by checking the system monitoring software. I can't hear them unless I put my ear right next to the keyboard. It's seriously impressive. Yes, at 100%, they can get somewhat loud, but I can only get them to run at 100% by forcing it in software, I don't know what you have to do on this laptop use to get them to run this fast. And the laptop can get a little warm at the top of the keyboard, but not uncomfortably hot like most gaming Windows laptops. It's really, barely warm, and again, only when pushing it a bit, in most day-to-day tasks, it stays at the room temperature. I can probably keep going with details for a while, there is so much to like about this machine, but I want to respect everyone's time, so let me just add a couple of quick points. The speakers are great. The web camera is better than most, it's very good, the design is clean and pleasant, the ports are good, and the fingerprint scanner works the first time, every time... it's an excellent laptop. I want to also mention a couple of negatives. Nothing too bad, and I still live the laptop overall, but nothing is perfect. The first thing that I'm not 100% happy with, is MacOS. I can get all the software I need, and it runs great, but Apple is still a bit too tyrannical with their software, requiring a bunch of passwords, and limiting your customization options. It can also be a bit glitchy, sometimes virtual buttons get stuck, or the OS can feel slower than this laptop actually is with its animations, or just in general the way it handles RAM. Same apps can sometimes launch in half a second, and at other times take 6-7 seconds to load, it can feel inconsistent. You can run Windows on it, with Parallels Desktop, or one of several free VM options, which I thought would make it perfect, but keep in mind that you can only use an ARM version of Windows, so not everything works on it too. Still, very impressive seeing Windows 11 running on it just as good if not better than many Windows laptops, even in the Virtual Machine. The next thing, that's just kind of meh, is keyboard. It's not bad, the keys feel nice, but its backlight might look uneven under certain angles, which cheapens the look of the machine a bit, IMO. It looks fine from above, though. I usually keep the backlight off for this reason. Not a bad keyboard, but there is also nothing "magic" about it. I've seen better, and I've seen worse. And finally, the build quality can be a hit or miss. The first unit that I got had a slightly misaligned lid (against the bottom half, when closed). I exchanged it, and the second unit was creaking around the keyboard when opening and closing the lid. I returned it too and almost gave up on them, but a few days later, decided to give it just one more shot with a different color (the first two were Space Grey). I picked up a Silver model, and this one is perfect. So if you get one and something doesn't feel right, you might want to check another unit to make sure you get the good one, or just don't be picky like me. I assume most people will never notice or questions things like that. One final thought. This Macbook Pro 14, even at the base level, is a real deal. It's worth every penny they ask for it, and if you can get it on sale, or a good open box unit, it's probably the best value out there at the moment!

Excellent investment
I’ve been using the MacBook Pro for >3 years and I couldn’t be happier with it. The performance is outstanding, handling everything from multitasking to demanding applications like video editing and coding without breaking a sweat. I even use it to train light Deep Learning models. The display is stunning with its Liquid Retina XDR screen—colors are vivid, and the brightness makes it perfect for working even in well-lit environments. Battery life is another highlight, easily lasting me through an entire day of work and entertainment. The redesigned keyboard feels great to type on, and having the full set of ports back (like HDMI and SD card slots) is a huge plus for convenience. Overall, this MacBook Pro is a powerhouse with no compromise on portability or performance. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable laptop for professional or personal use. It’s an investment, but one that truly pays off.

It can't be beat!
I purchased this computer August 2022 to replace my Intel MacBook Pro 13 inch from 2019. Now, I know Apple Silicon was fantastic, but it blew me away. I was nervous after dropping the dough and putting the two side by side, I mean, I hadn't even had my 2019 for three years, it's not like it's fallen apart and crashing daily. The M1 Pro exceeded any and all expectations I had. When I purchased this laptop last summer, I had spent two years working in a Visual Communications technical program using the Adobe Creative Cloud, an it did *fine*. I was content, if not a little annoyed by the lack of storage and dedicated graphics. But now, almost a year later, this 14 inch MacBook Pro flies through everything new I throw at it. Video editing is no sweat, live audio mixing and monitoring doesn't even begin to touch the battery life. Running games (either Mac compatible or through Wine-based apps) is easier done than said now. I didn't upgrade the storage again, I should have known better than to go for a base model again, but the addition of the HDMI port, an extra Thunderbolt 3, and an SD card slot mean I have more I/O for storage and displays than I did on my last MacBook, which only had two Thunderbolt 3 ports and a headphone jack. Did I mention the battery life? Oh, yeah. It lasts forever. It shocks me when the battery dies, and usually it dies because I either worked all day on it and squeezed every last drop out of it, or I left it on for days before it decided it was nap time. Basic browsing or word processing in class, I'd see maybe 6% drop every hour, sometimes even less. I could start a class with less than 10% and two hours later I'd still have a few minutes to find an outlet. Oh and this screen is gorgeous. I had some dirt or some debris on my palmrest and totally destroyed the laminate on accident, so eventually I will have to have this repaired, but even with my ignorance, the ProMotion display is to die for! It's bright, it's responsive, and oh-so-smooth. Sometimes I miss the butterfly keyboard and the Touch Bar, but I am a minority in this feeling. I have not had any issues with either keyboard, but I do know that the traditional scissor style Magic Keyboard on the new MacBooks was a welcome change for many. And before anyone whines about the notch, it's fine. It's out of the way, and you can always adjust the screen dimensions in the software to get rid of it. I personally like it, because my Menu Bar does not intrude on my app space. Being a nerd, I use Android and iOS. When I bought this Mac, I had an iPhone 13 Pro Max and an iPhone SE temporarily and they worked great out of the box. The cohesion that is Apple's operating systems is fantastic. I then moved to the Galaxy S22 and then Galaxy S23 Ultra and was surprised how well they can be taught to like each other, if they seem a little repelled at first. I do miss being able to use Boot Camp in order to boot Windows, but emulation works OK and I still have my old MacBook with the Intel chip with Windows on it. I also am wary of Apple's anti-competitive repair and modification stances that are growing in their device lineups, but despite this, I can't name any other laptop in the world that could replace this one. Other PC and chip manufacturers are still trying to catch up to the performance AND efficiency that is the goal of M1,. If you want a Mac, this is a good Mac. If you're a creative, get this Mac. If you need power on the go and won't miss Windows (unless you are accustomed to emulation), get this Mac.
