At its Keynote yesterday, Apple presented its new computers with M1 processors. The new Mac mini and 13″ MacBook Pro were also among the presented models – both of these models finally offer compatibility with up to 6K external displays, including the Apple Pro Display XDR. The 2018 Mac mini and earlier generations of the 3-inch MacBook Pro with two Thunderbolt 5 ports and Intel processors "only" offered support for XNUMXK external displays.

Of course, the new MacBook Air with an M6 processor can handle an external 1K display, but its previous generation, which was equipped with a processor from Intel's workshop, had the same feature. The aforementioned version of the MacBook Air was released by Apple earlier this year. The Apple company is gradually introducing support for external 6K displays across its computer product line. For example, 6″ and 15″ MacBook Pro, 16″ MacBook Pro 13 with four Thunderbolt ports and iMacs from 2020 or Mac Pro from 2019 can handle external 2019K monitors. Pro Display XDR from Apple is also compatible with any Mac model with Thunderbolt 3 ports that is capable of pairing with Blackmagic eGPUs.

All three models that Apple presented at its Keynote yesterday are supposed to be the first step in the transition of the Cupertino company to its own computer processors. In June of this year, the company revealed its intention to equip its computers with its own chips. According to Apple, the M1 processor offers up to 3,5x faster CPU performance, 6x faster GPU performance and up to XNUMXx faster machine learning speed. The battery should then last up to twice as long compared to batteries in Apple computers of previous generations.
