Apple’s new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR is an exciting upgrade that delivers nearly every feature I was hoping for, with just one exception. The device might finally replace my iPad Pro as my primary computer, something I haven’t used a Mac for in years. The iPad Pro has been my main machine since 2015, but Apple’s advancements in Mac hardware and software—including modern macOS features like Dynamic Island—have reignited my interest. The MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR brings a significant leap forward, offering a great display and contemporary OS capabilities.
As a longtime iPad Pro user, I value features like touch support and OLED in a lightweight device. While the MacBook Pro delivers on display quality and modern features, it lacks one critical capability for me: cellular connectivity. I rely heavily on cellular while working from coffee shops and outdoor locations, where public Wi-Fi isn’t reliable enough.
My biggest disappointment is the absence of cellular support. I hope Apple adds this option in the future. In the meantime, I’m curious whether personal hotspot reliability—enhanced by Apple’s N1 wireless chip—will suffice. I’ve already ordered my MacBook Pro and am eager to test it as my full-time machine.
Despite the high price and missing cellular, the MacBook Pro looks like a fantastic product. It’s not for everyone, but I’m excited to give it a try.
