WE'VE EXAMINED THE BRAND-NEW M1 POWERED MACBOOKS. BELOW'S THE COMPATIBILITY DETAILS CUSTOMERS REQUIRED TO KNOW.

On November 7, 2020, Apple officially introduced the brand-new M1 powered MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13-inch, as well as Mac Mini. These systems make use of the Apple-designed M1 CPU, implying that for the very first time in over a years, you can get a Mac with something other than an Intel cpu.[usb hub and hdmi]

Changing to a brand-new chip with a brand-new architecture can indicate new efficiency possibilities. It can additionally suggest brand-new compatibility problems.

We needed to know just how our items would deal with Apple's brand-new chip, so we got the brand-new MacBook Pro and also the MacBook Air and also starting testing away. Thankfully our test results so far have been overwhelmingly positive, and also this is what we've located until now. We'll upgrade this list as we continue to evaluate our items.

It is very important to note one huge adjustment: the M1-based Macs do not natively support twin displays over Thunderbolt, a big separation from previous Thunderbolt 3 Macs (yet extra on that topic quickly).
