M1 Pro and M1 Max introduce the system-on-chip (SoC) architecture for the first time in professional systems, an innovation that completely changes the MacBook experience. These two chips not only have fast unified memory, but their bandwidth exceeds standard protocols, providing unparalleled performance and best-in-class performance per watt.
The M1 Pro is equipped with a powerful 10-core CPU, including two high-efficiency cores and eight high-performance cores, which increases CPU performance by 70%, while the GPU speed is twice as fast as the previous generation M1 chip. To further optimize the workflow, the M1 Max adds a ProRes accelerator to achieve fast and energy-efficient video processing capabilities. In short, the new MacBook Pro series laptops equipped with M1 Pro and M1 Max are the most powerful Mac products ever.
To fully expand the capabilities of the M1 MacBook Pro and Pro Max, you can try the following methods:
1. Multi-display support
The new MacBook Pro is equipped with a Liquid Retina XDR display and incorporates mini-LED technology from the iPad Pro. The M1 Pro supports simultaneous connection of up to two Pro Display XDRs and a 4K TV. With the support of Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0, seamless connectivity across devices is achieved. This means that in addition to advanced displays, you can also enjoy the wide field of view brought by dual or even triple monitors.
2. Make full use of port resources
The M1 and Pro Max MacBooks are more abundant in port configuration, especially the addition of additional Thunderbolt™ 4 connection ports. With the Purplelec Thunderbolt™ 4 desktop docking station, you can get the most advanced connection functions while maintaining the life of the MacBook's own ports and expanding the number of available Thunderbolt 4 ports. In addition, the docking station also provides multiple USB-A ports to ensure that your new Mac is compatible with your current keyboard, mouse and old accessories.
3. Portability and efficient connection
For users who need portability and efficient connectivity, Purplelec's 8-in-1 driverless mobile dock is an ideal choice. It is suitable for hy-brid and remote workers and travelers to stay efficient wherever they are. This eight-in-one docking station supports macOS, iOS, Windows, ChromeOS and Android operating systems, making it a universal device for anyone who needs additional ports and connection options.
4. Correct charging
In terms of charging, the Thunderbolt 4 docking station supports up to 90W charging power, which is very suitable for the M1 Pro, which only requires 70W charging capacity. However, for the Pro Max, which requires a 140W charging connection, you need to use the MagSafe 3 charging port to charge. It is worth mentioning that the MagSafe charger also implements the Mac's fast charging function, which can charge the MacBook Pro's battery to 50% in just thirty minutes.
Through the above methods, you can fully expand the functions of the M1 MacBook Pro and Pro Max, improve work efficiency, and enjoy a more convenient use experience.
