Apple updates the MacBook Pro with M6 chips
Apple has updated its 14-inch MacBook Pro with the new M6 chip, which offers improved multithreaded performance and power efficiency. The refresh also includes upgrades to Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, maintaining the existing design and port layout.
Why it matters
Regular hardware refreshes with advanced silicon are critical for Apple to maintain its competitive edge in the professional laptop market and support emerging AI workloads.
Apple is giving its entry-level MacBook Pro a spec bump. After upgrading the entry-level MacBook Pro with its M5 chip a year ago, Apple is refreshing the laptop today with the M6 chip, which the company launched in August as part of recent upgrades to the new Mac Mini.
Last year’s entry-level MacBook Pro update brought minimal changes from the M4 model that debuted a year prior, including the same design, port layout, webcam, and speakers. The most notable updates, aside from the then-new M5 processor, was faster storage and the option to upgrade its capacity to a hefty 4TB for an extra $1,200.
