Apple is giving its entry-level MacBook Pro a spec bump. After upgrading the entry-level MacBook Pro with its M5 chip a year ago, Apple is refreshing the laptop today with the M6 chip, which the company launched in August as part of recent upgrades to the new Mac Mini.
Last year’s entry-level MacBook Pro update brought minimal changes from the M4 model that debuted a year prior, including the same design, port layout, webcam, and speakers. The most notable updates, aside from the then-new M5 processor, was faster storage and the option to upgrade its capacity to a hefty 4TB for an extra $1,200.
It’s a similar story for 2026. Announced this morning through a press release, the new 14-inch MacBook Pro features three Thunder 4 USB-C ports that all support charging and DisplayPort connectivity, a MagSafe 3 charging port, full-size HDMI, and an SDXC memory card slot accommodating photographers. It carries forward the same 12MP Center Stage camera and Liquid Retina XDR display with a nano-texture option, but this year the 14-inch MacBook Pro is getting an upgrade to both Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 through the Apple N1 wireless networking chip that was previously only included on MacBook Pro configurations with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.
