Why are these so expensive? It made sense when there were literally never sales on Apple products, but the MacBook is often available cheaper than this through authorized retailers in new condition.
Some business love to give their people the crappiest piece of crap they can get that says Pro. They consider the Air too underpowered even though it isn't. Their employees struggle with their computers and those businesses would rather standardize on an antique design than change what they are doing in any way. It's sad.
People can do far worse than an M2 MacBook Pro, they are fine machines.
The problem is that this is a 2020 13" MBP model design with just a M2 installed, Compare them (center ands right) https://www.apple.com/mac/compare/?modelList=MacBook-Air-M1,MacBookPro-13-M1,MacBookPro-13-M2
I went from a 2020 13” MacBook Pro to a 14” M1 Pro model, so I’m well aware of the different designs. The only reason I upgraded was because of a motherboard failure that was too expensive to repair. Both are fine designs that feel modern to me. The M1 Pro is better in almost every way than the 10th gen Intel i5 that I had in the previous machine, but the difference in hardware design is a matter of taste. I personally feel that MagSafe was a step back from the USB-C charging port. If didn’t need support for two external displays then I’d be very happy with an M2 MacBook Pro or Air. The new Air is beautifully designed, but the extra battery life of the Pro and active cooling would matter more to me if I had to choose between the two.
Biggest design overhaul since iOS 7 with Liquid Glass, plus new Apple Intelligence features and improvements to Messages, Phone, Safari, Shortcuts, and more. Developer beta available now ahead of public beta in July.
