MacBook Pro — Sleeves, Hardshells, Screen Protection & MagSafe 3 for 13/14/15/16"

Three big generation waves since 2016:

• MacBook Pro M3/M4 (2023+) — 14"/16", Liquid Retina XDR, MagSafe 3, 3× Thunderbolt, HDMI, SD slot.
• MacBook Pro M1/M2 (2020-2023) — 13"/14"/16", first M chip on 13" 2020 with Touch Bar (the last), 14"/16" 2021 first without Touch Bar and MagSafe 3 returned.
• MacBook Pro Intel (2016-2019) — 13"/15"/16", 4× USB-C (Touch Bar), no MagSafe, no HDMI. 16" Intel landed 2019 as last Intel generation.
• Screen protectors for MacBook displays — see MacBook screen protection.

Key spec shifts:

• Connector — 4× USB-C (Touch Bar 2016-2020 + M2 13"), USB-A + SD + HDMI on 14"/16" M-Pro/Max (2021+).
• MagSafe 3 — Apple brought MagSafe back as "MagSafe 3" in 2021 (14"/16" M-Pro/Max). 13" M2 still charges via USB-C.
• Touch Bar — 2016-2021. Fully removed from 14"/16" M-series (2021).
• Notch — small display cut-out for the webcam, from 14"/16" 2021.
• M chips — M1 (2020) → M2 (2022) → M3 (2023) → M4 (2024). Efficiency leaps over Intel.

• Sleeve / hardshell — per generation since outer dimensions change between 13"/14" and 15"/16". Mind the exact display size.
• MagSafe 3 cable — compatible with every 14"/16" M-Pro/Max from 2021. NOT with Intel MacBooks or 13" M2.
• USB-C cable — universal. PD up to 96 W (14") or 140 W (16").
• USB-C hub — more useful on older M2/Intel 13" (only 2× USB-C) and on USB-C-only Intel models. Less needed on 14"/16" M-series (HDMI/SD built in).

For students we recommend a 13"/14" sleeve with keyboard cover. Creative pros choose hardshell + keyboard cover + paper-feel film on the display. Travellers reach for a sleeve with outer pocket for cable and charger. Commuters combine hardshell with carrying strap. Families choose polycarbonate cases with anti-slip feet. Sustainable options: recycled felt, wool fleece and vegan PU leather. Crossbody carrying straps for sleeves are available — hands-free for lecture-start.
