REVIEW FOR IDATABASE UPGRADE

It's cheaper in its base configuration and a match for the M2 Pro when specced to the same price point, lightweight with a larger screen, and has more port options thanks to its MagSafe charging, which is absent from the aging M2 MacBook Pro's industrial design. If you're on a budget, they remain powerful options with potentially excellent value.Īnd while the M2 MacBook Pro has enough power to justify its price tag, the incoming M2 MacBook Air for 2022, with an all-new design that's thinner and lighter than the Pro here, may be worth holding out for before committing the cash. M1 MacBook Pro models at 13 inches can now be found at a slight discount ahead of the new model's release, and that's likely to become more common as you head into Amazon Prime Day and the Black Friday deals season.

REVIEW FOR IDATABASE UPGRADE

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.
