What does Apple’s new Arm-based chip have that Intel’s x86 architecture doesn’t? Well, it uses a 5nm process, for one. The price range stretches all the way to $2,099, which will net you the 13-inch MacBook Pro with 2TB of storage. The Mac Mini starts at $699 with 256GB of storage, making it the cheapest way to get an M1 processor. The M1 is an in-house Apple chip, so you're going to have to get it built into one of Apple's machines rather than standalone. Orders for these new M1 products will open up on April 30th, and will start shipping out to buyers in May. Unlike previous M1 products, these will be built from the ground up with the M1 in mind, incorporating new, thinner chassis thanks to the M1's greater efficiency. The MacBook Pro also still has two Intel configurations on offer, and the Mac Mini has one Intel processor offering.Īpple also announced on April 20th that it will be introducing a new M1 iMac and M1 iPad. Each comes with two configurations using the M1. To try it, you’re going to have to choose between one of the three new products that feature the chip: the new MacBook Air (opens in new tab), the 13-inch MacBook Pro (opens in new tab) or the Mac Mini (opens in new tab). The first computers with Apple's M1 chip are already up for purchase.
