GPU performance is the same, more than double that of the Apple M1 chip and 7 times higher than the “integrated” graphics chips on today’s popular 8-core integrated graphics laptops thanks to powerful GPU cores. on the M1 Pro chip.
Despite having the most basic configuration, it can be seen that the Apple M1 Pro on the 16-inch MacBook Pro MK183 can fully meet all the most demanding graphic workflows of professional users.
Homogeneous 16GB RAM memory, integrated in the SoC architecture of the Apple M1 Pro chip, helps communication between CPU, RAM, GPU and other peripheral devices take full advantage of bandwidth.

Keyboard – Abandon Touch Bar
Still the magic keyboard with the scissor mechanism on the previous 16-inch MacBook Pro 2019, this year the keyboard on the MacBook Pro 16-inch M1 Pro 512GB MK183 no longer has the “incompetent” Touch Bar as everyone thinks. often call. This is an improvement that programmers and “graphics” enthusiasts look forward to the most.

03 Type-C ports support ThunderBolt 4
01 HDMI 2.0 port
1 SDXC slot
Jack 3.5mm Audio
MagSafe 3 charger supports fast charging
It can be said that Apple has listened to users very well when providing useful traditional connections on the MacBook Pro 2021. However, to have these connection ports, the MacBook Pro 2021 is made “thicker” than before. . It is no small pity why Apple removed the USB-A port on the MacBook Pro 2021 because USB-A is still widely used in practice. Sometimes, lacking only this USC-A port, users have to dig out their wallets to equip themselves with an additional conversion port.
