Apple MacBook Pro M2 (14-inch, 2023)

M2 Max boosts graphics Incredible XDR display Really impressive speakers Good 1080p webcam Battery life is even better

Runs hotter and louder

“The M2 Max MacBook Pro runs hotter, but delivers better performance and battery life too.”

Great performance ; Long battery ; A worthy new entry-level Pro ; It’s exactly what you want it to be

Starting with 8GB of RAM is silly ; Picking the M3 means losing a Thunderbolt port ; No space black, really?

Gripes aside, I’ve been very happy using this as my daily driver for the past week. Whichever way you fall, I think you’ll ultimately be happy with either 16GB machine. So, even though I very much believe no one with an M1 or M2 needs to upgrade for...

Lightning fast thanks to new processor. Same excellent screen as before. Improved network connectivity.

Built-in webcam does not support face recognition or 'In Focus' function.

If you’ve already invested in a 14-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Pro processor, there’s no discernible gain for you in buying the new model. For everyone else, it’s just a matter of emptying your piggy bank. At this price point, you can’t buy a better...

Outstanding performance ; Highly portable ; Beautiful screen ; Good connectivity

Microphone isn't the best ; Cheaper options available

Huge amount of internal options ; Stunning screen ; Stays quiet and cool

Even more expensive than before (for those in the UK) ; Lack of Face ID makes the notch feel dated already ; Pricey to upgrade the memory

The MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023) is another fantastic Apple laptop, designed with those who need serious power on the go in mind. The upgrades over the previous version are minimal, but that doesn’t stop this from being one of the best laptops you can buy.

New M2 Pro and M2 Max chips ; Almost 20-hour battery life ; The best screen on a laptop

Expensive ; Price rise for UK and Australia

The MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023) is a fantastic mobile workstation that brings the power of the new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips to a compact and portable laptop. It keeps the same design as the 2021 model, but that's no bad thing given the brilliant screen...

Powerful ; Long battery life ; Stylish, compact & light ; Great screen

Price

Yes, it’s expensive, but damn what a computer it is! Apple’s new SoC (system on chip) M3 Max is blazingly fast and still the most energy efficient in its class. There’s no other computer besides Apple’s that offers the same high performance with the...

Incredible performance ; Power at your fingertips ; Amazing battery life ; Lots of connectivity options

Same design

The new M2 Pro and M2 Max 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro are absolute gamechangers for those professionals whose work and talent we all love and appreciate. With the improved capabilities of these new MacBooks their talent can now be unleashed – and...
