The enhanced battery life, outstanding Liquid Retina XDR display, and superior connectivity make the new 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 an attractive option for a broad spectrum of users, from students to professionals and creators. Priced starting at $1999, preorders began on October 28, with deliveries expected on November 6.
