Apple will start the Mac’s transition to ARM-based Apple Silicon CPUs with three laptops—both 13-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros and the 13-inch MacBook Air—according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who has built up a track record of accurate reports on Apple’s plans of late.

Earlier this week, Apple announced plans to hold another livestreamed event to announce new products on November 10. Taglined “One More Thing,” the event was already widely expected to reveal the company’s first Apple Silicon Macs, and the Bloomberg report confirms that will be the focus of the event. Apple first formally announced its plans to move to its own silicon in Macs this summer at its annual developer conference.

Today’s report claims Apple will unveil at least two of the new laptops next week but notes that the two 13-inch models are further along in the production pipeline than the 16-inch MacBook Pro. It also says that there will be few if any design changes to the three machines beyond the new chips.
