The new MacBook Pro is expected to replace the current 13-inch MacBook Pro version M1 and integrate a more "buffalo" M2 chip.
Initially, the 2022 MacBook Pro was expected to be announced during the Apple Peek Performance event. However, the product may not be as big of an upgrade as last year's 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro .
Currently, rumors suggest that the MacBook Pro 2022 will be a replacement for the 13-inch MacBook Pro M1. Here are the rumored upgrades coming to this year's MacBook Pro.
Apple M2 chip
The Apple M2 chip will be the most interesting thing to come from the 2022 MacBook Pro. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the M2 chip will have the same 8-core CPU as the M1 chip but run at a higher clock speed. However, instead of an 8-core GPU like the M1, the new chip could have a 10-core GPU.
MacBook Pro 2022 is expected to integrate the M2 chip.
The cool thing about the M2 is that they won't surpass the current M1 chips. They "will be slightly faster than the M1" but "keep the same 8-core architecture." In return, the MacBook Pro 2022 will have improved graphics by upgrading from a 7- or 8-core option to a 9 or 10-core version. There are even sources that this chip will have up to 12 CPU cores. Neither the M1 Pro nor the M1 Max have hit this number yet - each has 8 and 10 cores respectively.
Mark Gurman previously stated the M2 chip will feature an 8-core CPU along with a 10-core GPU. This setup will make the chip weaker than the M1 Pro and M1 Max but still more powerful than the M1 chip.
New design
All rumors indicate that the MacBook Pro 2022 will use the M2 chip. However, reports are quite conflicting about the design of the laptop. Some sources say that the MacBook 2022 will have the same design improvements as the 2021 MacBook Pro. Other rumors suggest that they will have no design changes.
MacBook Pro 2022 will have "rabbit ears"?
Mark Gurman claims the laptop will not come with a Mini LED display like on the MacBook Pro 2021. The MacBook Pro 2022 will also not have ProMotion to save costs, only integrating the MacBook 's cheaper IPS LCD Retina display. Air . If this is correct, the person waiting for the MacBook Pro 2022 will be disappointed.
Analyst Gurman also said that the MacBook Pro 2022 will come with MagSafe charging and an HDMI port and an SD card. They are all included in the MacBook Pro 2021. It is also possible that the new MacBook Pro will have a controversial "notch" screen.
And yet, the MacBook 2022 may or may not have a Touch Bar. Gurman's report says that Apple will remove the Touch Bar, but if the overall design of the MacBook Pro is not different from the MacBook Pro M1 version, the Touch Bar will remain.
Estimated selling price
The MacBook Pro 2022 is expected to be an affordable laptop, which will cost less than $2,000 (equivalent to VND 45.74 million) or as low as $1,299 (about VND 29.71 million) like the MacBook Pro M1.
MacBook Pro 2022 will be affordable.
However, Apple may decide to increase the starting price of the MacBook Pro. The best evidence is the 16-inch MacBook Pro 2021 and the 14-inch MacBook Pro 2021. Therefore, the starting price of the 2022 MacBook Pro may fall to about $1,399 (about VND 31.99 million).
