The wait for the MacBook Pro 2021 has been worth it. While previous rumors have focused on the return of the popular I/O ports, the latest news is that the MacBook Pro 2021 will feature a great new display.

Or rather, it will feature the display we just learned about with the iPad Pro 2021 announcement. And if this is true, it is reason enough to believe that the MacBook Pro 2021 will maintain (or possibly even rise) its place on our best laptops list.

We've been hearing rumors since March that the mini LED technology in the new iPad Pro 2021 would be included in the upcoming MacBook Pro. This has now been reconfirmed by market research firm TrendForce.

In a release issued on April 21, TrendForce's Max Chen wrote, "With respect to Apple's 2H21 plans, the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook models will also feature Mini LED backlighting technology as well, making them the high-end tablet and notebook It will be the hardware benchmark for computers," he wrote.

And that makes a lot of sense: the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is going to have a better display than the current MacBook Pro. Sure, a tablet is all about the screen, but video editors and photo editors who use the latest and greatest MacBook Pro should get the same screen as iPad Pro owners.

The mini-LED/XDR display upgrade is a huge boon for the MacBook Pro 2021, which was already rumored to eliminate the OLED Touch Bar and add MagSafe charging, HDMI output ports, and an SD reader.

These are changes longtime MacBook Pro owners have been clamoring for, and we still hope Apple reconsiders its stance on USB-A ports.

Now that we have reason to hope that the MacBook Pro 2021 will have a mini-LED, this update is going to be full-blown and substantial, and that Apple is reconsidering MagSafe, HDMI, SD memory reader, and the rest of the rumored features is While gratifying, it felt more like a slight step backward than a revolution.

Combined with the upcoming Apple M1 chip, the MacBook Pro 2021 looks to be a beast worth investing in.
