I wish they would bring back an all white version (not aluminum). Other than that, happy to see magsafe return.
Plastic might not even be strong enough since these are so thin.

#12Only 18% CPU performance improvement.. looks like we are finally getting diminishing returns.

#13Macbook Pro 13" is smaller than Macbook Air at 13.6".
What's the point of Macbook Pro 13"?

#14This looks like what the Macbook (2015) wanted to be. Keyboard and single port aside, it was a fantastic form factor, albeit crushingly slow. Mine no longer holds a charge, and am eagerly awaiting replacing it with one of these.
Over time I've also noticed I no longer care about having the fastest possible laptop, since my job provides me with an MBP and that's where serious work gets done.
I have a feeling this is going to be backordered for a long, long time though.

#15Too bad there’s no 11” Apple laptop anymore.

#16Just spent 4k on the M1 max. These chips are coming out too fast

#17The biggest question I have is whether it has WiFi 6E or just WiFi 6 (2x2 80 MHz like the original M1 MacBook Air).
That's the one thing that's kind of gimped it for me—if I could get more WiFi bandwidth, especially with the ProRes decoding built into the M2, I might be able to edit 4K video over my network wirelessly for the first time. Would be amazing.
To be clear, I still think the M1 Air was the best portable laptop Apple made since the 11" Air before it was discontinued. I just think it being so 'wireless-first', it should have the best wireless speed possible.

#18Why does my $500 Samsung Galaxy Book Flex have the webcam in a tiny little bezel and this thing has a giant notch?
And that too nothing much special - 1080p resolution.

Pro is a dockable workstation with a small form factor. Pros have insane amount of internal bandwidth. M1 was able to edit 30 4K streams or 7 8K streams simultaneously IIRC.

#20Pricing looks excellent ($1200 to start); I was expecting a bigger bump. We'll see about the 16G price and availability.
