Apple has concluded its 2026 product cycle with a new MacBook Pro, powered by its groundbreaking M6 chip. The California-based company remains committed to providing top value, even as prices rise due to uncontrollable events. The M6 MacBook Pro maintains its familiar design, featuring MagSafe charging, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and ports for Thunderbolt 4, SDXC, HDMI, and another Thunderbolt 4.
Its weight remains consistent at 1.55kg, which may feel heavier for those switching from a 14-inch MacBook Air. The M6 chip boasts 12 cores – 10 on the M5 – with increased performance efficiency and multitasking capability. Battery life remains at 24 hours, comparable to the M5. Large language models on the M6 are up to 13 times faster than on the M5, with improved performance in gaming, coding, and 3D rendering.
The M6 MacBook Pro comes equipped with up to 32GB of memory and 4TB of storage. Apple has also introduced new AI tools for its Creator Studio, including image and video generation capabilities, and enhanced productivity features for popular apps like Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Freeform. These Creator Studio updates are available for a monthly subscription fee of Dh49.99 or Dh499 per year.
Despite the high price point, the M6 MacBook Pro maintains Apple's minimalist design, and the company's pricing strategy may reflect its supply chain resilience.
