Apple’s newest high-end laptop brings more speed with the M2 Pro processor and Wi-Fi 6E in the same stunning design, and today it’s cheaper than ever. Amazon is selling the 14-inch MacBook Pro with a 12-core M2 Pro processor and 1TB of storage and the 16-inch model with a 12-core M2 Pro processor and 512GB of storage for $2,299, a savings of $200 on either model and the lowest price we’ve seen so far.
With either option, you get a 12-core M2 processor with a 19-core GU (versus a 10‑core CPU and 16‑core GPU on the entry-level 14-inch model), which is about 15 percent faster than its M1 predecessor. And of course, they also have a stunning 14.2-inch or 16.2-inch ProMotion display, an excellent keyboard, and an array of ports, including three Thunderbolt ports, an SD card reader, and an upgraded HDMI 2.1 port for connecting higher-resolution displays. Also new this year are Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 so your machine will be as future-proof as it can get.
In our 4.5-star review of the 16-inch M2 Pro MacBook Pro, we called it “an upgrade-worthy release” and concluded that “your money will absolutely be well spent.” And at this price, it’s even better.
