The new MacBooks Pro were launched on 01/17/2023, and their biggest news are the M2 Pro and M2 Max processors. The two new variations of the M2 line have greater processing power. The design, as mentioned earlier, remains basically the same. Which means that it has the same dimensions and format, in addition to maintaining the same color options.
Now let's see what the changes were for this new MacBook:
design
The construction of MacBooks, both 14″ and 16″, remained the same as the models released in 2021, including the same color options: space gray and silver.
Its dimensions also remain the same in the smaller model, measuring 31.26×22.12×1.55cm and weighing 1.6kg in the version with the M2 Pro chip or 1.63kg in the one with the M2 Max. In the largest, we have 35.57×24.81×1.68cm and weight of 2.15kg (M2 Pro) or 2.16kg (M2 Max).
Screen
The characteristics of the displays of the new MacBooks Pro are the same as those of the previous models: they are Liquid Retina XDR, with Mini-LED technology, which consists of generating images with thousands of small points of light, which guarantees more precision and brighter colors. vibrant.
The smaller model has a 14.2″ screen and a resolution of 3024×1964 pixels, while the larger model has a 16.2″ screen and 3456×2234 pixels. Both have a density of 254 pixels per inch, constant brightness of 1,000 nits, reaching 1,600 nits in HDR1 content, and ProMotion technology (adaptive refresh rates of up to 120Hz).
Processing
Processing is undoubtedly the biggest change in the new devices. Built on a 5-nanometer process, the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips deliver incredible enhancements.
The M2 Pro offers 40 billion transistors — 20% more than the M1 Pro — plus 200GB/s of unified memory bandwidth and up to 32GB of unified memory. The CPU2 has 10 or 12 cores (against 8 and 10 of the M1 Pro), with a performance superior by about 20% to the M1 Pro.
The GPU3 can be configured with up to 19 cores and a larger L2 cache, three more than the M1 Pro, offering 30% more graphics power than the previous model.
Price
There was no increase over previous models. Prices start at R$24,000 for the 14″ model and R$30,000 for the 16″ model in Brazil — US$2,000 and US$2,500 in the USA and, in Portugal, from 2,500 euros and 3,100 euros, respectively.
