Notably, the MacBook Pro got thicker and heavier with its most recent redesign in 2021. That redesign corresponded with the MacBook Pro’s transition to Apple Silicon, as well as the return of ports such as MagSafe, HDMI, and an SD card slot.

Yeah and the chunky MBP is fucking dope. It has loads of ports, great battery life, doesn’t burn with the intensity of 10,000 suns under load, and feels incredibly sturdy.

I have a 14” M3 Max MBP for work and I have to agree, the design is fantastic. The weight and thinkness have never been an issue for me, and it’s nearly silent unless I have all cores maxed out for more than a couple of minutes. Battery life is phenomenal too, I love when traveling that it can make it through an entire day no matter what I throw at it. If they ruin that for me I’ll be so disappointed.

Yeah I love mine. After having one of the 2017s that suffered from the infamous keyboard issues as my work machine, the apple silicon ones feel like a return to quality engineering. I really hope they don’t screw around with that.

My M1 will make it through an entire workday doing software development with multiple IDEs and emulators running and my phone plugged in also drawing power. When that happens, the only reason I notice is in the last 30 minutes of the day it gives me a low battery warning. These Mx chips are beasts.

And fwiw, I love my mb air m2 (going from a 2017 mbp) . So if someone DOES prefer something thinner with the tradeoffs that entails, that product already exists!

I was okay with it getting thicker as well. I never got into the thinner is better thing. If I wanted something thin and light I would get an Air not a MBP. Still love the form factor of my 2010 MBP. I also really enjoyed Snow Leopard
