Here is everything Apple released this October.

Apple announced that they will you about US $179 if you buy them in the US.

The laptops also boast of some extra features from being equipped with Apple’s own powerful M1 pro and MI Max chips. The MacBooks will be available with the options of a 14-inch or 16-inch screen. The MacBook Pro screens now have a notch (who said laptops can’t have notches?) housing a 1080p Facetime camera. Apple has also added back some ports that had been dropped from the MacBooks. In addition to the three thunderbolt-4 ports and the headphone jack, the new MacBook Pros now have an SD card slot, a MagSafe and HDMI ports. The infamous Touch bar is also gone!
