MacBook Pro M2 Pro
Discontinued, but still worth a look
The M2 Pro MacBook Pro was released in early 2023, making it a little preemptive for Apple to take it off the market and push its M3 iterations instead. It still speaks the same design language as its successor, with an HDMI port, a 1,000-nit display, and more. It's likely a little slower than the M3 Pro Macbook, but we wouldn't rule it out just yet.
For
- Same design
- Still powerful chip
- Great display
Against
- Slower than M3 Pro
14-inch M3 MacBook Pro
New kid on the block
The MacBook Pro M3 Pro looks similar on the outside to its M2 Pro predecessor, other than its new Space Black color option. But on the inside, an upgraded 3nm architecture should make for more efficient, faster processing. Just keep in mind that it's a more modest upgrade to the M2 Pro than it is to any pre-2023 model.
For
- 3nm processor
- No Touch Bar
- Dynamic Caching
Against
- More expensive
- Minor upgrades
