Later this year, Apple is set to debut its first MacBook Pro redesign since 2021. With that redesign, we’re expecting OLED, touch displays, M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, a Dynamic Island cutout, and much more.

There’s another big detail about these new MacBook Pro models, and I’m much more excited for that change.

They should be thinner

With the redesigned MacBook Pro, Apple should be making them thinner and lighter. Not by much probably, but hopefully enough to make them ever so slightly more portable.

I’ve never really taken much issue with the thickness and weight of the 14-inch MacBook Pro, but the 16-inch model is quite heavy. While I would appreciate a bigger screen and the thermal headroom of the MacBook Pro, I’ve forever found it hard to justify such a heavy and bulky laptop.
