The new MacBook Pro has everything I wanted, minus one thing

Apple’s latest MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR display is a thrilling upgrade that ticks most of the boxes I’ve been looking for, except for one crucial feature. After years of using iPads as my primary computer, I’m intrigued by the possibility of making Macs my main device again. The iPad Pro has been my go-to gadget since 2015, but Apple’s recent push to make Macs more exciting has piqued my interest.

The MacBook Pro’s hardware and software improvements are impressive, and it brings a significant leap forward. As someone who has long relied on iPad Pro’s features such as touch support and OLED in a slim, lightweight package, I’ve grown accustomed to Apple’s devices offering cutting-edge technology. My computing needs are modest, but I appreciate a stunning display, touch support, and modern OS features like the Dynamic Island.

The PROLED XDR MacBook Pro delivers on these fronts, making it an attractive option for me. I’ve placed an order and can’t wait to put it to the test as my primary computer. However, the absence of cellular connectivity is my main concern. I frequently use cellular data on my iPad Pro, as I often work from coffee shops and outdoor locations where reliable Wi-Fi is scarce. A dependable cellular connection on the MacBook Pro would be a game-changer for me.

While Apple claims that the N1 wireless chip enhances cellular capabilities, I hope personal hotspot performance has improved since my last use. If Apple’s N1 chip makes cellular reliable, I might be willing to consider the MacBook Pro as my main work machine, even with the cellular omission. The Duo tablet could also serve as a reliable backup option if needed.

Despite the high price, the MacBook Pro appears to be a fantastic product, and I’m eager to give it a try. What do you think about the new MacBook Pro? Would you be interested in a cellular version? Share your thoughts in the comments.
