Apple MacBook Pro 14 (M2, 2023)
Demo Video
The rest of the hardware is unchanged, which is no bad thing. Build quality is high and they are relatively portable considering the levels of performance that they offer. The Liquid Retina XDR display continues to impress with its dazzling colours even if they still suffer from blooming issues. The camera notch is still there and sadly doesn’t do Face ID. The keyboard, trackpad, and speakers are all best-in-class items and will not disappoint.
It’s worth noting that, in spite of being custom built for the purpose, it actually charges a bit slower than USB-C. But the magnetic detachment is a little extra peace of mind for the clumsier among us (I do claim to be one of these, however), and it frees up the other ports for other, noncharging tasks. The final port is an HDMI output that supports 8K displays — a first for the MacBook line and an extremely appealing feature for the creator class.
What strikes you first on unboxing the new Pro, however, is the weight. The thing is heavy. The default weight of the 14-inch model is 3.5 pounds. The Air is 2.7 pounds. The 12.9 iPad Pro is 1.5 pounds (sans-keyboard case, mind). If you anticipate that the device will spend 50% of its time in your backpack, this is certainly something worth factoring in here. At 12.31 x 8.71 x 0.61 inches, the footprint is also larger than the Air (11.97 x 8.46 x 11.97) in every dimension.
