Apple usually aims to hit the mark of quality with its new product launches, but this one just felt downright lazy.
Most Apple products aim to hit a degree of quality higher than the rest of the tech industry. Amazingly, the company manages to hit that mark more often than not.
This is a laptop that just shouldn’t exist. This notebook continues to use an dated chassis that’s over six years old at this point. That’s right, a “new” MacBook that was launched in 2022 is actually a six-year-old laptop with a new chip inside of it. Despite Apple launching a slick, completely redesigned M2 MacBook Air, the company decided to update this old design alongside it — merely because it’s a popular choice.
They might not realize that not only is this a very old laptop design, but that it also uses the exact same M2 chip as the MacBook Air. The justification for calling this a “Pro” laptop is extremely generous. A couple of fans? An hour or two of more battery life Really? You still can’t even connect two monitors to this thing without buying an external dock. It’s a serious stretch to call this a “Pro” laptop in any sense of the word — not unless you also consider the MacBook Air a “Pro” too.
But hey, maybe you like the design. Maybe you’re nostalgic for that particular era of Apple design or really like the Touch Bar . And if you didn’t know better, you might upgrade from a very old Mac to this MacBook Pro and find yourself enjoying the experience. I’m not trying to take that away from you. Apple Silicon really is that good, and if you upgraded to the M2 MacBook Pro from a much older machine, you’ll likely be impressed.
