M2-powered MacBook Pro 13-inch announced at WWDC 2022

Today at WWDC Apple announced an updated 13-inch MacBook Pro with the new M2 processor and up to 24GB of RAM. The latest iteration of the MacBook Pro has a starting price of $1,299 ($1,199 for education) and will start shipping in July.

The new MacBook Pro with an M2 processor promises improved performance from its 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU. I rather not discuss Apple’s promised percentages of improved performance until our crack team of testers gets their hands on the review units. The overall appearance of the new MacBook Pro remains the same and comes with a 13-inch Retina display with True Tone, a total of two USB 4 Type-C ports, and up to 24GB of RAM. 

According to Apple’s claims the MacBook Pro M2 is rated for up to 20 hours of battery life and its Retina display is capable of 500 nits of brightness. The latest MacBook Pro will also feature an FHD 1080p webcam which is a nice improvement.

He has written about every topic imaginable, from dating, family, politics, social issues, and tech. He wrote his first tech articles for the now-defunct Dads On Tech 10 years ago, and his passion for combining humor and tech has grown under the tutelage of the Laptop Mag team. His penchant for tearing things down and rebuilding them did not make Mark popular at home, however, when he got his hands on the legendary Commodore 64, his passion for all things tech deepened. These days, when he is not filming, editing footage, tinkering with cameras and laptops, or on stage, he can be found at his desk snacking, writing about everything tech, new jokes, or scripts he dreams of filming.
