On October 27, 2026, Apple announced the new 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M6 chip, a laptop aimed at students, professionals, and creators who need serious power in a portable form factor. The M6 packs a 12-core CPU and a 12-core GPU with neural accelerators in every core, plus a dual 16-core Neural Engine, and promises graphics up to 30% faster and on-device AI workloads up to 25% faster than with the M5.
Battery life is another of its main selling points: Apple claims up to 24 hours of battery, the longest ever in a Mac, while maintaining the same performance whether plugged in or on battery. Added to that are Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, faster storage, a Liquid Retina XDR display with a nano-texture option, a 12-megapixel Center Stage camera, a six-speaker system, and a wide selection of ports, all running macOS 27 with Siri AI and Apple Intelligence.
The machine starts with 16 GB of unified memory, expandable to 32 GB, with memory bandwidth of up to 170 GB/s. It came in space black and silver, with pre-orders from October 28 and availability starting Friday, November 6, from $1,999 in the United States.
