Apple is bringing its M2 chip to the 13-inch MacBook Pro alongside its new MacBook Air.
The move will provide the device with an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU.
Working with raw images and apps like Affinity Photo will also be up to 40 percent faster than the last generation, says Apple. It’ll be three times faster if upgraded from a model that doesn’t have Apple silicon. Graphic intensive games, like Baldur’s Gate, will also be 40 percent faster.
There’s also support for ProRes encoding and decoding, allowing for video conversation to be three times faster than before.
The new MacBook Pro will also have an active cooling system and 24GB of unified memory along with 50 percent more memory bandwidth. The battery life allows for 20 hours of video playback
The MacBook starts at $1299 USD (roughly $1633 CAD). It will be available in the U.S. next month but it’s unclear when the laptop come to Canada. MobileSyrup has reached out to Apple for more information regarding Canadian pricing.
