Apple has updated the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 chip, even while leaving it with a chassis from 2016.
Apple announced two new MacBooks at WWDC 2022, a redesigned MacBook Air and a 13-inch MacBook Pro. These are Apple’s best-selling Macs, and as stated in the keynote event, they’re the two best-selling laptops across the entire industry. While the M2 MacBook Air now sports a refreshed redesign, the 13-inch MacBook Pro has been left in a pitiful state. It uses a chassis straight from 2016, and it stands out like a sore thumb in the rest of the MacBook lineup. That means big bezels, a boxier shape, a poor webcam, and yes, even the Touch Bar. Sigh. I was bothered when the 13-inch MacBook Pro was left in the original M1 lineup back in 2020. After all, it used the same M1 chip, and the difference in performance and battery life was almost imperceptible to the average laptop buyer.
