M1 MacBook Pro Replaces Low-End Model, Higher-End Intel Options Still Available

The new 13-inch MacBook Pro with an M1 chip replaces the lower-end MacBook Pro models that were previously available, and Apple is continuing to sell it right alongside higher-end models that continue to feature Intel chips.

Apple introduced the Intel-equipped MacBook Pro models in May 2020. They're available for $1,799 and $1,999 alongside the $1,299 and $1,499 M1 MacBook Pro models.





Because the M1 MacBook Pro models are replacing the lower-end models, it's worth noting that the machines have just two USB-C ports that offer Thunderbolt 3 and USB 4, while the higher-end models have four ports.





The Mac mini (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/mac-mini/) models with M1 chips, priced at $699 and $899 depending on storage, are also being sold alongside an older Intel-equipped ‌Mac mini‌ model. The MacBook Air (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-air/) models, however, use M1 chips across the board and Apple no longer offers a ‌MacBook Air‌ with an Intel chip.





Despite the transition to Apple Silicon (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-silicon/), Apple plans to continue to support Intel chips for years to come. Apps built using the new Universal App binary will be able to run on both &zwnj;Apple Silicon&zwnj; and Intel Macs going forward. <div class="linkback">Related Roundups: Mac mini (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/mac-mini/), MacBook Air (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-air/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: Mac Mini (Buy Now) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Mac_Mini), MacBook Air (Buy Now) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Air), 13" MacBook Pro (Buy Now) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Pro_13)</div>
