Video shows new M1 Pro 16-inch MacBook Pro and compares it to Intel MacBook Pro

A YouTube video from SANG SÁNG SUỐT gives a first look at the new 16-inch MacBook Pro M1 Pro/M1 Max and compares the new flagship pro laptop with its predecessor, the 16-inch Intel MacBook Pro. The new 16-inch (and its 14-inch counterpart) seem to bring back the design of the Titanium PowerBook G4 but refine it for the present. 

A couple of things stand out. Apple's obsession with thinner and lighter designs seems to be over, or at least there is a compromise. Form now follows 'pro' function and the new MacBook Pros look solid and more durable than the models they replace. Ironically, the new M1 processors have a smaller footprint and don't require as much ventilation, yet the cases for these new Pro books are chunkier and larger (possibly because of additional ports and batteries).

The thinner bezels, taller displays, and the notch all make for a completely new screen layout that seems closer to a 17-inch display, but users will appreciate having additional real estate one one device. The display is also visibly thicker possibly because of the Liquid Retina Display as well as the 1080p multi-element lens and camera. The new MacBook Pros begin shipping next week, although some shipments for custom models have slipped well into December and even January ostensibly because of the persistent chip and component crisis.
