When comparing the MacBook Pro to the MacBook Air, we noticed that they are becoming more similar than different But how would the MacBook change if Apple Silicon shook up the Intel processors under the hood of these laptops?

Well, J Glenn Künzler of tech news site SonnyDickson has a new report that shows how Apple is rethinking its entire laptop product line And it starts with the disappearance of the MacBook Pro and Air brands

He points out that his entire post should be considered informed speculation, not based on any knowledge of Apple's plans

In his post, Künzler posits the theory that Apple will consolidate all MacBooks under the MacBook name

This would only leave them with a choice of different sized MacBooks; Künzler believes that the power savings and improved performance of the Apple Silicon/ARM chip would "make it considerably less meaningful for Apple to sell two different 13-inch notebooks," and that this This will streamline the purchasing decision, he noted

And he mentions rumors that the 13-inch MacBook design will be replaced by a 14-inch MacBook, as Apple Silicon would allow such a design change

Citing that discussion and "what we have heard," Künzler predicts that "Apple will offer only a single line of notebooks in the future, which will simply be called the 'new MacBook' or simply 'MacBook

Since the 13-inch MacBook Pro was the first laptop to feature Apple Silicon, the "New MacBook" rebranding could happen as early as then

Künzler states that Apple Silicon processors "will be chainable This means that multiple A-series chips could be used to speed up the MacBook While this may not sound important, he also said that he expects Apple to use as many processors as the chassis allows, rather than making multiple versions of a new processor

Here's where Apple tells users to demand more power: Künzler says that while the standard "New MacBook" may use a single chip, "the 16-inch MacBook with a larger battery , may use multiple chips running in parallel for faster processing speeds and more power"

If this all comes to pass, many will consider the 16-inch MacBook a "Pro" model
