Cool New Mac Designs

We’ve been on the cusp of a major redesign for Apple’s MacBooks and iMac for a couple of years now, and in fact many were expecting the late 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro to lead the way into the new era.

Of course, with the advent of Apple Silicon, it now seems clear that Apple is saving its new designs for its M1/M1X/M2 machines, and although the first M1 Macs out of the gate haven’t yet been redesigned, it’s safe to say that the new designs will be coming in 2021 with the second-generation of M1 MacBooks and the first real “Pro” Apple Silicon machines.

This would include a new 14-inch MacBook Pro, the much-rumoured redesigned 16-inch MacBook Pro, and likely a whole new iMac design for the first time in almost a decade.

With the first M1 MacBook Air and entry-level MacBook Pro, it’s likely that Apple wanted to make sure the focus was on the Apple Silicon, and not the rest of the hardware. Plus, by avoiding a whole redesign, it was abundantly clear that all the performance advantages of the new Macs came from the M1 chip and not anything else that Apple had done.
