Apple has announced the release of the new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models featuring the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, which are said to bring even more power-efficient performance and battery life to pro users.
The M2 Pro and M2 Max chips are being touted as the world’s most powerful and efficient chips for a pro laptop, and are capable of tackling demanding tasks such as effects rendering, which is up to 6x faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Pro, and color grading, which is up to 2x faster. Building on the power efficiency of Apple silicon, the battery life on the MacBook Pro is now up to 22 hours, the longest battery life ever in a Mac.
The new MacBook Pro also supports Wi-Fi 6E, which is up to twice as fast as the previous generation, as well as advanced HDMI, which supports 8K displays for the first time. With up to 96GB of unified memory in the M2 Max model, creators can work on scenes so large that PC laptops can’t even run them.
The new MacBook Pro also features the renowned Liquid Retina XDR display, extensive array of connectivity, 1080p FaceTime HD camera, six-speaker sound system, and studio-quality mics. When combined with macOS Ventura, the MacBook Pro user experience is said to be unrivaled. The new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models are available for ordering today, with availability beginning on Tuesday, January 24. This new release by Apple seems to be a game changer, as it brings a lot of new features and improvements to the table.
