From the specs: -802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 wireless networking -IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac compatible Both same on the Pro and Air M2.
> Appple always leads the way with wireless chips for the last 15 years, and they don't disappoint again. I mean, those specs seem to say that it doesn't support Wi-Fi 6E.
Wonder how good it is compared to the latest NVIDIA GPUs in laptops for gaming and ML Tasks
Macbook Pro 13" is smaller than Macbook Air at 13.6". What's the point of Macbook Pro 13"?
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.
Only 18% CPU performance improvement.. looks like we are finally getting diminishing returns.
18% is pretty decent, IMHO, for their bottom-most spec, especially given the RAM limit is being extended to 24GB, while the power consumption is still brutally good (18hrs video playback) and the screen is also a bit more spacious at 13.6"...
and it's not like they don't have faster CPUs. it's just the cheapest you can get and even that is getting faster!
tbh, im using an M1 Mac Mini since last December and it's sooo freaking fast and smooth, that I'm not even really motivated to upgrade at all, if it wouldn't be for the extra memory. though the 16GB is surprisingly sufficient too, if i have run browser tab suspender extensions and close my unused electron apps (notion, logseq, slack), while coding (in Clojure, using IntelliJ and Emacs).
If Apple announced a 16" MBA, I'd buy one and ditch my ThinkPad. 13" is just a bit too limiting for my tastes, and I don't need the power or the extra expense of the 16" MBP.
$1,199, only $200 ... thats 20% increase. Fuck that.
Notch is painful to see. Hope they walk back on it like for the mag safe.
Have you used one with the notch? It disappeared for me in less than an hour of using it. I never notice it.
The only app that I'm aware of that actually helps address this is Bartender, when they should have figured this shit out before they came out. It's possible that they introduced some fix in MacOS Ventura, but there's no indication that this is the case so far.

the 24GB are for the MBP
For Air too: https://www.apple.com/macbook-air-m2/specs/ > Configurable to: 16GB or 24GB Store is updated too, 16GB upgrade is 200$ and 24GB is 400$.

They know how to capture their market. These things will sell like hotcakes.
Incremental release of breakthrough products. M1 and M2 were both probably ready at the same time. Release M1, then M2 to try and get the upgrade sells. Its tough to beat, but atleast the products are amazing
