Apple MacBook Pro 14 (Late 2021) in-depth review

We were really excited from the time rumors started appearing about the new Apple M1 chips. There was confusion about the name, their specs, and their performance. And now that they are here, it's only natural to put them through their paces. Today, we have the MacBook Pro 14, which aims to be revolutionary. Not only for the SoC it houses, but because of what it is. It is the long-awaited machine, that breaks the gap between the 13-inch, and the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Weirdly, it has more in common with the latter.This time, Apple has really produced a Pro model, that's worth talking about.[...]
