So although the laptop is outstanding as shown by our review, it was prohibitively expensive for many consumers. Fast forward a few years and you can now get the MacBook 14 with the M1 Pro chip and 32 GB of RAM for only $1,454.99 in New/Open-box condition on Woot. As a reference, the entry-level MacBook Pro 14 (2021) with the M1 Pro is going for $1,291 on Amazon in Renewed condition.

For starters, the M1 Pro chip is still powerful as our testing puts the SoC on the same level as the Core i7-1270P in multi-core and Ryzen 7 6800H in single-core performance.

Add to it the efficiency improvements that allowed the MacBook Pro 14 to last a fantastic 13.5 hours in our Wi-Fi websurfing test and you have a laptop that is not only speedy but is also an endurance champ.

Additionally, the M1 Pro MacBook Pro 14 has a stunning 3024x1964, 120 Hz Liquid Retina XDR display. We measured the panel to deliver 99.3% DCI-P3 coverage, 479 nits of average brightness with a maximum HDR brightness of 1,607 nits, and a contrast ratio of 48900:1. The panel also comes calibrated out-of-the-box.

In other words, the MacBook Pro 14 has a display that is perfectly suitable for both media consumption and content production.
