At the WWDC 2022 global developer conference, Apple unveiled the new M2 chip, as well as the new 13-inch MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro. Is the latter, which only has the M2 chip replaced, considered “old wine in a new bottle,” and does it actually pale in comparison?
The 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro, although its appearance remains unchanged and is slightly heavier than the MacBook Air, has improved performance compared to the previous generation due to the M2 chip. Additionally, the MacBook Pro also has many advantages over the Air, first of all, it retains the Touch Bar, which undoubtedly makes it more convenient for users accustomed to touch work.
In addition, the MacBook Pro retains a cooling fan design, which provides more stable performance for users who need to work efficiently for long periods of time (such as video editing, multimedia work); Another advantage of the MacBook Pro is its battery life of up to 20 hours, which is about 10% higher than the MacBook Air.
