This guide focuses on the high-end, 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips rather than the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 chip. Last year, Apple updated the MacBook Air with a complete redesign and the M2 chip, so how do the machines compare?ĭespite now being similar in appearance, the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro are very different machines, so should you consider purchasing the MacBook Air, which starts at $1,199, to save money, or do you need one of the higher-end 14- or 16-inch MacBook Pro models, which cost at least $800 more? Our guide helps to answer the question of how to decide which of these two popular Apple silicon machines is best for you. Apple recently announced a major update for its high-end MacBook Pro models, adding the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, better battery life, Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and an HDMI 2.1 port.
