Did I just see Steam on a MacBook ….?
I'm still rocking the 2015 Macbook pro, 15 in. It is still a beast of a computer, but it's at the point now where all the cosmetics are falling apart and it's just getting old. I am probably going to not wait and just get the 14-inch Macbook Pro. 14 is the sweet spot, imo, especially for camera backpacks.
The M2 Mac Pro exists for the same reason that the iPhone SE 2016, 2020 and 2022 exists. It is a previously obsolete device with a CPU upgrade which means that it can use existing components and so is very cheap to manufacture. If like the iPhone SE it was 40% cheaper than modern models using all new components then it would be a great buy. Sell it for $999 and it would make sense.
Macs are expensive, Designed to fail, and would be great if open sourced with better cooling, and less slim design philosophy, more practical thinking, and modular, replicable key components that fail frequently. The lack of an NVME port to replace the SSD's, the lack of a CPU socket, the lack of removable ram, Makes the M1-M2 series, as well as older macs, Complete non ecofriendly Disposable garbage.
I am a musician. I like to have m2 macbook air for live stage gig. I can only afford either one 16gb version or 512 verion. I am from india. Which option is best for me? I am using mainstage app or sometimes gig performer app. I saw the ssd speed is lower in base model. If this is the case with m2 air which option will be better?
I think Apple just have lotsa the old design chassis lying around and said, ya, put m2 in those old 13 pro and just get rid of them.
forget m2, awsome beard
Has Apple fixed the thunderbolt speed with the M2?
I honestly thought I would use the touchbar on my M1 MBP more than I should but I love it cause I can skip ads on YouTube and Pandora but other than that.. it’s sorta useless lol
the answer for this product is simple. it’s macbook gov/mil/edu. it’s not for the consumers. in order to meet the RFP requirement, the product needs to be publicly available. also needs to be new enough to last yet old enough so it’s easy/cheap to maintain. think about the global gov/mil/edu balk purchase. aapl is making the right decision.
i ordered this. its now on its way to my house. im excited, its my first ever mac
test
Where in this laptop has rounded edges compared to the new design
Should I go for the M1 MacBook Pro over the M2 MacBook Air?
I guess I will eventually spring for an M3 or M4 Max with like 256GB of RAM.
Thank you for this review. As was enjoyable and informative.
Always keep in mind that this is the same guy that said he prefers online gaming on a console with WiFi vs plugging in to an ethernet.
I have the intel base model 2020 magic keyboard right before the M1 MacBook pro 13 inch I love it fast and quick only hate the battery life I would gladly take the M2 model I love this design and the touch bar is amazing to me it works well and it does exactly what I need it to do I cannot wait until it's released definitely well worth it at $1200 I keep hearing M1 battery life is fantastic I can only imagine M2
The M2 MBP is there just to sell the M2 MBA and 14/16 M1 MBP. It makes sense, really.
This MacBook Pro is basically theft.
4:49 I liked the video, but I didn't like the recommendation
How can this be called 'PRO' when it can only have 1 external display?
When's the 16 inch macbook pro m2 ultra coming?
I dont like the M2 lineup as apple released it. It feels like they should have a left the MacBook Air alone, just leave the M1 can call it a day. The M2 MacBook Air should have been released as the M2 MacBook Pro (add a fan or whatever). Be done with it at that.
Good on Apple for keeping it. What you can’t do, if you care about your customers, is say to professionals “ hey, you can’t have what you could before, only something slightly worse. But not too much worse, you’ll be fine”. Professionals can get uncomfortable about the lack of the fan for heavier workloads, and that’s enough reason. And anyway, a company should never downgrade the experience of the users just because there is new cool stuff, only upgrade it. Even if it won’t be a success it must be in the lineup.
👍
Ill start saving up for the m2 max
I don’t think it really makes sense. Apple’s notebook lineup should be: 13” MacBook Air, (possible 15” MacBook Air), 14” and 16” MacBook Pros.
I hate the notch so this is all the money I will have to spend. 2000
I wonder if Apple plans to keep a lower priced Pro model for the coming years (they should!).
They have upgraded the headphone jack to support high impedance headphones and speakers also support spatial audio.
Finally a fair and non-biased review of this computer and the touch bar
help me choose a macbook pro, I settled on two options, these are: macbook pro 15 2014 i7/16gb/512gb or macbook pro 13 2017 touch bar i5/8gb/256gb. can't choose, help
The new M2 air and m1 pro 14/16 new design is a let down… this 13 inch m2 and m1 air is the last wedge design series… built quality has dropped with the new chassis and design adoption. The new design has hollow feel, heavier monitor enclosure and weaker hinges (to support new air cooling option)..
But MacBook Pro is for Pros 😉
The basic M2 MB Air only has binned 8-core GPU so it will perform significantly below the MB Pro 13 in heavy GPU workloads, the Pro about 25% more grunt. So you need to upgrade to the 10-core GPU for $100 making them the same price, but it is misleading to say the bas eM2 Air will perform close even disregarding the active cooling which can make a big difference in warmer ambient temperatures.
