Apple introduced the new MacBook Pros, which feature the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. However, the former also offers the new Mac mini. Again, a clear performance increase makes the devices noticeably better working machines.

Apple says that the new MacBook Pro fundamentally pushes the boundaries of performance and efficiency. So how much has been improved? We didn’t see any keynote.

Apple only issued press releases accompanied by a pre-recorded presentation mentioning all the new features. But it’s true that design-wise, we didn’t see any changes here.

The company just updated its models with new chips, which it says doesn’t deserve that much attention. It should be noted that even though we’ve had the M2 chip here since WWDC22, in terms of performance and capabilities, the M1 Pro, M1 Max and, of course, the M1 Ultra chips outperformed it in every way.
