Apple’s new M2 chip will soon be in the 13-inch MacBook Pro, and it promises to make the laptop faster and more powerful. The new chip is said to have a faster processor and more memory than the previous model, which should make using the computer more enjoyable for users. The new MacBook Pro also comes with a redesigned keyboard that is said to be more comfortable to use. The laptop is also thinner and lighter than its predecessor, making it easier to carry around. Apple has not yet released any information about when the new M2 chip will be available in other models of its laptops, but users can expect it to become available soon. ..
The upgraded MacBook Pro doesn’t look significantly different than the previous M1-powered 13-inch MacBook Pro. It doesn’t have the large notch found on the 14″ and 16″ MacBook Pro, and the much-contested Touch Bar is apparently sticking around.
The M2 chip gives it an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU, with up to 24GB of unified memory (shared across the operating system and graphics), and up to 2GB of internal SSD storage. Apple says image processing is 39% faster than the previous M1-powered MacBook Pro, and a whopping 340% faster than the older Intel Core i7 MacBook Pro. There’s also Wi-Fi 6, Thunderbolt support, “studio-quality” microphones, and an estimated 20 hours of battery life on a single charge.
The new 13-inch MacBook Pro starts at $1,299, and it will be available for purchase starting in July.
