Apple MacBook Pro 13 M2 vs Apple MacBook Pro 13 M1: What has improved?
Apple MacBook Pro 13 M2 vs Apple MacBook Pro 13 M1: What has improved?
Apple revealed the 13-inch MacBook Pro M2 during the main keynote of WWDC22. This addition to the Mac line packs an all-new chip in a somewhat dated, familiar chassis. It doesn’t feature the build redesign Apple applied on the MacBook Pro (2021). Nonetheless, it still caters to a certain category of customers. Speaking of Mac customers, if the regular prices are too high, you could always check the refurbished MacBooks — as you can save significantly by buying them. Now, you must be wondering: what has improved in the latest MacBook Pro? This is the MacBook Pro 13 M2 vs MacBook Pro 13 M1 — a tiny specs bump.

What hasn’t changed Let’s start with what has NOT changed. As the technical specifications table above reflects, the two MacBook Pro models are almost identical in many ways. Both the MacBook Pro M1 and MacBook Pro M2 have the same body, camera, ports, dimensions, weight, Touch Bar, finishes, speakers, battery, display, etc. If you put two of them side by side, there’s literally no way to differentiate between the M1 and M2 variants. What’s new The only difference between the MacBook Pro M2 and MacBook Pro M1 is the included chip. As their names suggest, the former packs the all-new M2 chipset, while the former goes for the M1 — which Apple introduced back in 2020. As a result, the newer model performs better, supports up to 24GB of RAM, and gets two additional GPU cores. Otherwise you’re not missing out on much. We should also mention that the M2 model has an advanced image signal processor. This improves the quality of the very same 720p webcam on the MacBook Pro M2 (2022). The 2022 MacBook Pro 13 refresh doesn’t aim at MacBook Pro 13 M1 owners. The difference is too insignificant to warrant an upgrade. It’s more for those who are still on older Intel-powered Macs and can’t justify paying for the MacBook Pro 14/16 (2021). It’ll be interesting to see if Apple adopts the refreshed chassis on the MacBook Pro 13 down the road or not. Right now it looks out of place when comparing it to the notched MacBook Pro and the new MacBook Air.
