We've been waiting for the rumored 14-inch MacBook Pro 2021 and 16-inch MacBook Pro 2021 to be announced for some time now, and it looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel

That light comes from Apple's "Unleashed" themed event on Monday, October 18, giving us good reason to expect Apple to unleash its next-generation MacBook Pro with the M1X chip, the successor to the M1 It will

If that happens, display expert Ross Young believes that these new MacBook Pros will not only feature the same eye-catching mini LED display as the much-hyped iPad Pro 2021 (129"), but will also have the same 120Hz refresh rate and is considered to be the "best of both worlds

MacBook displays have so far been limited to a 60 Hz refresh rate This means that the display cannot refresh faster than 60 times per second, cannot achieve frame rates above 60 frames per second (a sore spot for serious game players), and cannot scroll as smoothly as the latest smartphone displays

While 60 Hz refresh rates are fairly common on laptops, more and more laptops are beginning to come with 120 Hz (or higher) displays For example, the 129-inch iPad Pro 2021 ships with its own 120Hz mini LED display, which our reviewer found to be stunningly bright and beautiful

The same display may soon have a chance to be used in the new MacBook Pro, as Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, announced today on Twitter that the same company that supplied the display panels for the 129-inch iPad Pro, LG Display The same companies that supplied the 129-inch iPad Pro, LG Display and Samsung, are supplying panels for the new MacBook Pro and will offer similar comfort, he claimed It will be a mini-LED display, Young said, but whether it will be 120 Hz remains to be seen

@Dylandkt, a known Apple leaker, said that Apple's 2021 MacBook Pro will have a mini-LED display, a 1080p webcam, slimmer bezels, and a base model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage The company announced (via Twitter) a claim that it will be available

Apple's next MacBook Pro 2021 model is also expected to arrive with more ports, an SD card slot, the return of MagSafe charging, and the M1X, a more powerful version of Apple's powerful M1 chip One thing that will probably not appear is the Touch Bar, and Apple is reportedly likely to remove the Touch Bar from the MacBook Pro and return to physical keys
