The MacBook Pro is a line of Mac-branded laptop computers developed and manufactured by Apple. Introduced in 2006, it is the high-end model of the MacBook family, sitting above the ultra-portable MacBook Air, the entry-level MacBook Neo, and previously the mid-range MacBook line. As of June 2026, it is currently sold with 14- and 16-inch screens, all using Apple M-series chips. Before the introduction of Apple silicon in 2020, all MacBook Pro models used Intel chips. The MacBook Pro is the first laptop made by Apple to use the Apple–Intel architecture, replacing the earlier PowerBook line for professional users. It is also the first Apple laptop to use the term "MacBook", which later replaced the earlier iBook line for the non-professional users. The MacBook Pro primarily runs the macOS operating system.
