- Is the 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro still worth buying?

- How does it compare with the 14-inch model?
- The 16-inch has a bigger screen, a larger battery and better speakers, but weighs about 2.15 kg versus roughly 1.6 kg for the 14-inch. Both use the same M1 Pro chip options.
- How many external monitors can it drive?
- Up to two external displays at up to 6K and 60Hz over Thunderbolt. That is fewer than the M1 Max version, which supports more.
