OLED MacBook Pro vs. Mini-LED MacBook Pro: Size and Weight Compared

The OLED MacBook Pro models look a lot like the prior mini-LED MacBook Pros, but Apple did make some design updates. The new machines are slightly thinner and lighter, and the 16-inch model has a larger display thanks to slimmer bezels.

The 16-inch ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ lists a 16.3-inch display, up from 16.2 inches. The 14-inch ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ still has the same 14.2-inch display.

Height

  • 14-inch ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ - 0.59 inches
  • 14-inch mini-LED ‌MacBook Pro‌ - 0.61 inches
  • 16-inch ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ - 0.63 inches
  • 16-inch mini-LED ‌MacBook Pro‌ - 0.66 inches

Weight

  • 14-inch ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ - 3 pounds for Pro, 3.1 pounds for Max
  • 14-inch mini-LED ‌MacBook Pro‌ - 3.5 pounds for Pro, 3.6 pounds for Max
  • 16-inch ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ - 4 pounds for Pro, 4.1 pounds for Max
  • 16-inch mini-LED ‌MacBook Pro‌ - 4.6 pounds for Pro, 4.7 pounds for Max

Dimensions

  • 14-inch ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ - 12.24 inches wide, 8.52 inches deep
  • 14-inch mini-LED ‌MacBook Pro‌ - 12.31 inches wide, 8.71 inches deep
  • 16-inch ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ - 14 inches wide, 9.62 inches deep
  • 16-inch mini-LED ‌MacBook Pro‌ - 14.01 inches wide, 9.77 inches deep

Compared to the mini-LED models, the ‌OLED‌ models are about half a pound lighter and at least 0.02 inches thinner (about half a millimeter). ‌OLED‌ displays don't need a backlight, which saves weight. The touch sensor is built into the display panel and not layered on top, so it doesn't add bulk.

Apple priced the ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ models at $400 more than comparable mini-LED models, so the 14-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ starts at $2,899 and the 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ starts at $3,399.

Apple today sent out invites for an experience in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 28, and the "Pro and tell" tagline on the invitation likely means that the rumored MacBook models with touch-enabled OLED displays will stick with MacBook Pro branding instead of the once-rumored "MacBook Ultra" name. The long-rumored "iPhone Ultra" ended up being named iPhone Duo, so speculation that Apple...

Is it just me or does the new MacBook Pro's wallpaper look like the machine is suffering catastrophic display failure?!

The differences are negligible. They look virtually identical.

Would be nice to see 'cm' here too. Maybe within the next articles... Shouldn't be too US based concerning the measurements. You're quite alone in the world ;-)

I feel like I might be going insane to say this, but, is $400 a lot of money for, what, a 10% improvement in screen over the truly excellent mini-LED? The half a pound is nice, but they're the same size!

Half a mm thinner. 😃

Good to hear that weight was saved but I wasn’t expecting much in the thin-ness department. These things need cooling.
