MacBook Pro 17

Small chip. Giant leap

Packed with an astonishing 16 billion transistors, the Apple M1 system on a chip (SoC) integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O and so much more onto a single tiny chip.

Speed and responsiveness

The Apple M1 chip and macOS Big Sur work together to make the entire system snappier. The Apple MacBook Pro wakes instantly from sleep. Everyday tasks from flipping through photos to browsing Safari are faster. And your hardest-working apps all have access to the power they need.

Biggest collection of apps

Run powerful apps built for the Apple M1. All your existing apps work thanks to Rosetta 2. You can use your favourite Apple iPhone and Apple iPad apps directly on macOS Big Sur. Altogether you’ll have access to the biggest collection of apps for Mac.

Retina display

With the brilliant Retina display, images take on an incredible level of detail and realism. Text is sharp and clear. Bright LED backlighting delivers deep blacks and bright whites. P3 wide colour brings even more vibrant greens and reds than sRGB. And every Apple MacBook Pro features True Tone technology, so the white balance automatically adjusts to match the colour temperature of the light around you for a more natural viewing experience.

Camera and mics

Thanks to the Apple M1, the FaceTime HD camera can now take full advantage of an image signal processor improving image quality in video conferences and pulling out more details in both shadows and highlights. And whether you’re running a meeting, hosting a podcast or connecting with friends and family, studio-quality mics will make sure everyone hears you loud and clear.

FaceTime HD camera

The Apple M1 chip even helps you look your best. Highlights in low light have never looked better. Advanced noise reduction makes dark areas sharper. And face detection uses the Neural Engine to better adjust white balance and exposure levels for even more natural‑looking skin tones.

Magic Keyboard

Magic Keyboard lets you do everything faster and more efficiently. The refined scissor mechanism delivers a responsive, comfortable and quiet typing experience. The Touch Bar puts the commands you need most just where you need them, saving time and keystrokes. And Touch ID provides fast, easy authentication for secure logins and purchases.

Touch Bar

More shortcuts to success. Enjoy even more shortcuts and features like your favourite emoji, preferred languages and quicker access to Siri.

Touch ID

A touch on the sensor instantly unlocks your Apple Mac, and a press locks it. Use your fingerprint to rent movies, buy apps, or access things like locked documents or system settings without having to re-enter your password. And when you shop online with Apple Pay, Touch ID automatically fills in your shipping and billing information without sharing your card details.

Wi‑Fi 6

The next generation of Wi‑Fi isn’t just faster it keeps the Apple MacBook Pro going strong even as more and more devices join the network.

Thunderbolt / USB 4

Ultra‑high bandwidth meets ultra‑versatility. Thunderbolt enables data transfer, charging and video output all through a single port and the Apple MacBook Pro has two of them.
