Earlier this week Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman It has revealed that Apple has a new M7-powered entry-level MacBook Pro in the spring of 2027. This is not an ordinary thing. MacBook Pro refresh though. This will bring the upcoming redesign down to the entry level before was not expected.
Usually, when Apple introduces a new one MacBook Pro design, it takes a short time to go down. For example, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro and M1 Max was introduced in 2021, but the base model stuck with the MacBook Pro. 13 inch design Until 2023 when it gets a 14-inch chassis With the M3 chip.
Likewise, when Apple redesigns MacBook Pro In 2016, he Not until 2019 the entry-level model gained a Touch Bar. It’s a similar story for the 2012 retina MacBook Pro redesign.
Although this time around there will only be about a 6 month gap before the redesign hits the entry level.
M7 entry level with redesign
according to BloombergIt will be Apple presents a redesign to entry level MacBook Pro In early 2027, shortly after the debut of the high-end MacBook Pro, it was rumored to be called the MacBook Ultra. From report:
Apple is also preparing a refreshed entry-level MacBook Pro, codenamed K104, for the first half of next year. The 14-inch laptop will adopt a new design, in line with what Apple is developing for its high-end touchscreen MacBooks between late this year and early next year.
It should be noted that there will be another entry level MacBook Pro with the current design and M6 chip, it will debut this fall alongside the currently redesigned high-end MacBook Pros.
To make things even weirder, the redesigned high-end MacBook Pros are expected to debut with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips instead of M6 generation chips. Apple recently decided abandon your plans for high end M6 chips to speed up M7 instead.
In short, it will look like this:
- Fall 2026: Entry level MacBook Pro M6/old design, high end M5 Pro/Max and new design
- Spring 2027: Entry level MacBook Pro M7 and with a new design
- Fall 2027: Senior MacBook Pro Upgrade to M7 Pro/M7 Max
Of course, the redesign is expected to feature a slightly slimmer chassis, OLED displays with touch support, and even a Dynamic Island.
Wrap it up
With recent price increases, this is great news for some people. I’m sure the revised 14in MacBook Pro With the M5 Pro, it’ll likely cost more than $2,500, so if you’re looking to get more on a budget with the M7 chip and redesign, you’ll just have to wait until next spring.
It’s certainly unfortunate that the entry-level price point is $1,999 MacBook Pro that’s what the Pro chip versions cost today less than a year agobut this is the inescapable reality of it lack of memory.
