The beefier GPU, Neural Engine, and memory bandwidth of the Apple M2 chip improve the notebook's processing of high-resolution video streams, making it more proficient for editing video than the M1.

Its machine learning-focused Neural Engine is also 40% faster, guaranteeing an improved experience with macOS apps - from productivity to gaming titles. The 25% transistor increase gives you a significant expansion in memory bandwidth, which improves the M2's multitasking capabilities, making products that rock the chip even more futureproof.Īs a result, the M2 is more capable than the previous generation without sacrificing energy efficiency. The M2 chip utilizes a new crop of the cutting-edge 5-nanometer technology, which allows Apple to pack 20 billion transistors - 4 billion more than those crammed into the revolutionary M1 - into a minuscule bit.

Throughout my testing, I focused on evaluating its hardware performance and battery life - and they did not disappoint. After a week as my go-to computer, the sequel proved to be a fantastic product and, again, the best 13-inch laptop in its price range and well beyond. By offering an industry-altering mix of high-level performance and long battery life, the MacBook Pro with the Apple M1 chip has been the best 13-inch notebook since its debut.
