Remember that it's not easy to upgrade the internal components of a MacBook Pro after purchase, so consider not only the specs you'll need right now but also over the laptop's lifetime. You can configure up to 24GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 2TB of storage for as much as $2,499 / £2,549. Prices start at $1,299 / £1,349 for the base specs with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 chip is available to order now, with a shipping and release date set for June 24, 2022.
But externally, the new MacBook Pro retains a very familiar design, one that Apple has used for the line for some years now.ĭoes that design still have its place amongst the best Macs? Is the new M2 chip blazing a trail that the M1 can't match? And is the 2022 13-inch MacBook Pro with M2 worth your hard-earned cash, knowing there's also the M2-powered MacBook Air just waiting over the horizon? Let's find out.
This souped-up 13-inch revision of the MacBook Pro line is full of all sorts of new wizardry internally thanks to its second-generation M2 Apple silicon system on a chip. With very little changed externally from previous years' 13-inch MacBook Pro designs, the question on everyone's lips was just how new is the latest 13-inch MacBook Pro with M2 chip? When Apple first revealed the MacBook Pro 13-inch for 2022 during this summer's WWDC event, it played second fiddle to the flashy and newly-redesigned MacBook Air – despite both packing a freshly-minted generation of Apple's own silicon in the M2 chip.
