The one thing Apple DIDN'T announce at today's MacBook event

Apple finally announced the first Macs to feature the company's own custom-made silicon tonight, and there was something to suit pretty much every user. From the impossibly powerful MacBook Pro to the super-portable MacBook Air, the Mac range has been updated across the board – but there was one glaring omission.

As for what Apple did announce, the headline was definitely its brand new M1 chip. The company claims that the first Apple-designed chip will completely transform every Mac which uses it – and we've no doubt we'll be seeing some Apple silicon in our best laptops for graphic design roundup soon.
