This is not the M1. You can’t configure a MacBook Pro 16 inch (stated in the tweet) with anything other than an M1 Pro / M1 Max, or M2 Pro / M2 Max on the latest models.

It’s the 13” MBP. If you look at the metal overlay in the corner it shows the product name of the processor, and in this case, it’s the base M1 with 16GB of memory.

Huh where does it say that? It states 16GB of RAM, not screen size.

You’re right, my apologies I misread the 16 GB as 16 inch!

The tweet says "M1 MBP". That is short for Macbook Pro and means the CPU is an M1 Pro or M1 Max. Not the entry level M1.

The 13” M1 MacBook Pro does not have the pro or Mac chip. Not sure that’s what is being used here, but your assumption that this combination isn’t possible is false.

Thanks for the clarification, I appreciate it.

I knew about the 13" M2 MBP (although it seems very easy to forget somehow), but maybe due to marketing materials I encountered, I'd incorrectly thought that product line started with the M2 not the M1.

In fairness the 13” MBP is an entirely forgettable machine that IMO should not exist so I definitely don’t begrudge anyone making mistakes about it!

The 13" M1 Macbook Pro is a thing. You cannot infer M1 Pro/Max just from that.
