A Huge Upgrade with Even More Value
The MacBook Pro 14 with M6 delivers remarkable value thanks to major performance improvements and powerful AI capabilities. The new MacBook Pro 14 with M6 also features all of the compelling capabilities that have made it so popular, including:
- Phenomenal battery life: In addition to the huge leap in performance, battery life gets up to 14 additional hours for Intel-based upgraders and up to four more hours for users coming from M1, delivering up to 24 hours overall, so users can get more done on a single charge. Users coming from Intel-based and M1 systems will also get 16GB of starting unified memory, an additional Thunderbolt port, and the space black finish with an anodization seal for fewer fingerprints.
- A brilliant pro display: The stunning Liquid Retina XDR display delivers up to 1600 nits of peak HDR brightness and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, bringing HDR photos and videos to life with deep blacks, brilliant highlights, and vibrant colors. And for users working in bright or challenging lighting conditions, a nano-texture display option dramatically reduces reflections and glare.
- Powerful connectivity: Now with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, the 14-inch MacBook Pro delivers fast wireless performance and low latency, along with support for up to two external displays. Its versatile array of ports — including the HDMI, MagSafe 3, and three Thunderbolt 4 ports; an SDXC card slot; and a headphone jack — makes it easy to connect high-speed peripherals, transfer photos, or expand a workspace.
- Advanced camera, mics, and speakers: A 12MP Center Stage camera with Desk View helps keep users perfectly framed on video calls, while a studio-quality three-mic array and amazing six-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio deliver an immersive audio experience.
- Fast charging: MacBook Pro 14 with M6 supports fast charging, reaching up to 50 percent charge in just 30 minutes when paired with a compatible higher-wattage USB-C power adapter, such as the 96W Power Adapter.3
- A laptop that’s built to last: With an enclosure made from 100 percent recycled aluminum, MacBook Pro 14 with M6 is exceptionally durable and can stand up to everyday use for years to come.
