Apple has launched the long-awaited MacBook Pro. This computer is equipped with the new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. So what are the differences between the 2021 MacBook Pro except for the chips? How much has the new 2023 MacBook Pro series been upgraded compared to the previous generation? Which one is more suitable for you when choosing?
Processors: 2021 and 2023 MacBook Pros
The first is the processor issue that many people are most concerned about. Since the M2 series is a new product, we compared the entire M2 series.
As for M1 Pro vs. M2 Pro and M1 Max vs. M2 Max, let's start with the table:
Apart from the Neural Engine cores, Apple has also upgraded almost every aspect of the M2 Pro and M2 Max processors. Despite using the same number of neural cores, the M2 Pro is still 40% faster than the M1 Pro.
The M2 Pro processor offers 20% higher performance than the M1 Pro and 30% higher graphics performance. The new powerful media engine easily handles the most popular video codecs and encodes them with extremely low power consumption.
Design - old wine in new bottles
In the MacBook Air series, Apple gave new products a refreshed design, but for the Pro series, Apple only updated the interior. Here's how the 2021 MacBook Pro compares to the new 2023 MacBook Pro's size and dimensions.
Dimensions and Dimensions
The only noticeable weight change is the M2 Max MacBook Pro, which adds just 30 grams to the 14-inch version and 60 grams to the 16-inch version.
Ports - Each port survives
Apple has made sure not to update the port and continue to carry the same port on the 2021 models. This means you'll get the following ports on the M2 Pro/Max MacBook Pro:
Three Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports
HDMI interface
SDXC card slot
Even Apple is reluctant to call the M1 Pro/Max MacBook Pro "new" with few visible design updates.
电池寿命——MBP不会死
除了 Apple 将 Apple 芯片引入 Mac 的性能之外，还有一件事与电池寿命有关。让我们以小时为单位比较电池寿命：
这些是基于 Apple 在理想条件下进行的测试，并且会根据环境、配置以及您使用 MacBook Pro 的方式而改变。很明显，MBP 上的新 Apple SIlicon 在由相同电池组供电的同时继续创造奇迹。
价格
大家已经了解了 MacBook Pro 的 M1 Pro/M1 Max 和 M2 Pro/M2 Max 之间的所有更新和相似之处，现在让我们来看看它们的定价方式。
通过以上对比大家也对两款MacBook Pro有了比较详细的了解，希望可以对您的选择带来帮助！
