In the fall of 2021, Apple's 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros (fave.co/3lhyElz) made a grand entrance into the Mac lineup, and made an instant impact, combining processing prowess with a sophisticated redesign. If you were aching for a new high-end MacBook Pro, the 2021 release offered soothing relief.
But maybe you decided to wait a little longer. Maybe you thought it would be wise to let a generation of Apple silicon pass so the company can work out the kinks and app developers can catch up with native software. Or maybe you just weren't convinced this whole thing was really going to work, despite Apple's past success with silicon transitions.
Whatever the reason, let me tell you, for most people, there isn't a reason to wait any longer. The transition has been smooth for the most part, tons of native software from third-party developers are available, and the M-series SoC is here to stay.
Actually, you benefit from waiting, because the new M2 Pro and Max offers a nice performance boost over the previous M1 Pro and M1 Max machines. On top of that, you get a much-needed upgrade for HDMI and futureproofing with Wi-Fi 6E (fave.co/3CsKUwy) and Bluetooth 5.3three features that might even be enough for current M1 Pro or M1 Max MacBook Pro owners to upgrade.
This review takes a look at the new 16-inch MacBook Pro. Here's the lowdown of the specifications of our review unit:
> M2 Pro CPU with 12-core CPU (8 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores) and 19-core GPU
> 32GB of unified memory
> 200 GB/s memory bandwidth
> 16-core Neural Engine
> 2TB SSD
This model takes the $2,499 standard configuration and upgrades the memory from 16GB to 32GB (a $400 upgrade) and the SSD from 512GB to 2TB (another $400). That brings the total price of our review unit to $3,499.
