Beyond mixing the two sizes where are you seeing this? I see prices start at 2k and 2.5k respectively.
Woah. I messed that up twice. That's what I get for updating this while working. I had it right by size the first time - 14 inch was $1,999 and 16 inch was $2,499. I fat fingered the 1 to a 2. I'm going to go commit sudoku.

You're all good. I was just like if you can get those prices you need to hook us all up! LOL

As it stands ugh. The old MBP M1 was kinda a waste over the Air. The new MBPs are great with all the features, but the price is double an Air. I kinda wish I could get something between the two models to upgrade my old 2019 MBP that I'm typing on right now.

@VHS I'd love to hear what you end up ordering!
oh nothing, if I get one of these it will be through my work. My home PCs are explicitly for gaming and plex servers both of which apple is not great for. For work though I'd enjoy one of these but my work is still giving out the intel macs I think.

Wow, they look exactly what I want from a pro laptop, but boy are they expensive. Time to see if I can convince work to buy me one!

The new HomePod mini colours are cool, but something I would go for. The AirPods updates are cool too, but I’ll wait another year or so until new Pros come out - I want the noise cancelling.

Personally I don’t see the point in the Apple Music voice subscription - are there really that many people who are invested enough in the Apple ecosystem (I guess it’s mainly aimed at HomePod users?) who would only use Apple Music work their voice?
 
  • Yeah!

I think this was an attempt at a lower entry cost to compete with other platforms and nothing more than that. They had to hold back something so the people who pay $9.99/month don't downgrade.

Yeah that makes sense, I just don't know how many people are willing to only interact with Apple Music via Siri.

Everyone gets Monterey next week! So there is that!

Looking forward to that, though really it's just another reason I have to upgrade to an M1 machine, as a few of the features are M1 only...

The new magsafe charger is magsafe on one end and USB C on the other, great change.

Low tier for music would be great for a small business who just puts on a playlist and goes about there day if they want to play music for their establishment.

I thought that was actually illegal? Like you need to pay a big licensing fee if you want to play music like that in public and the recording studios will send out listeners to catch people breaking it.

I bought an M1 MacBook Pro earlier this year, going to stick with it. Not really a fan of the new design of the MBP. Plus $1999, ouch.

I’m not planning on picking up any MacBook from today’s presentation but my goodness the specs are impressive. Those M1X Pro and M1 Max chips are no joke. The prices in Canada are really high, but all things considered you’re getting a machine that will be reliable for a number of years so it’s well worth it.

That notch is disgusting. Can't believe they thought that was a good idea. Did they forget that plenty of applications display menu bar items there or the fact people use full screen apps (thus the menu bar is hidden)?
