The Apple's top-of-the-line laptop? It seems the desire for more powerful technology never ends. Of course, this is mostly a result of the need to handle more demanding tasks such as processing 4K and even 8K resolution videos, deg 3D models, and AR content as well as developing new apps that can harness all of these new capabilities.
Apple's latest MacBook Pro models are super-fast laptops with all-day battery life. The 2021 MacBook Pro models take advantage of the latest screen technology for crisp, vibrant, and incredibly bright displays with deep blacks on 14 and 16-inch s. They also pack a punch with a choice of M1 Pro or M1 Max processors, both a big step up from the first Apple Silicon chip, the M1 that powers the 13-inch MacBook Pro.
When that could happen someday. However, it seems unlikely that such a powerful processor would be used in 2022.
MacBook Pro & M1 Ultra
Apple technically could put an M1 Ultra in the MacBook Pro but since it runs on battery power, it would potentially burn through energy at the Mac Studio has two fans to prevent overheating.
The other challenge would be keeping the price reasonable. The Mac Studio with M1 Ultra starts at $3,999 and in a MacBook Pro, which includes plenty of other expensive components, the cost would climb even higher. It's doubtful that Apple could sell many laptops at that price. What's more likely for the next high-end MacBook Pro is an M2 Max with more U and GPU cores manufactured with a 3 or 4-nanometer process that provides higher performance while keeping cost and power demands at a level that works best for a battery-powered device.
