Apple today announced updated 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros and an updated Mac mini, with faster and more efficient performance thanks to new M2 chips. All new Macs announced today are available for pre-order on Apple's online store starting today, with shipments arriving on Tuesday, January 24.
The new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros come with the all-new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, which offer improved performance and battery life over their predecessors for workflows such as video editing and graphic design.
Apple today also updated its Mac mini with the M2 and all-new M2 Pro chips. The updated Mac mini has the same design as the previous generation, but comes with faster performance and additional Thunderbolt ports for models configured with the higher-end M2 Pro processor.

Macbook pro is so junky and heavy. It’s like the 2013 macbook. Back to future or back to the past? Lol. Would consider buying it when it is as slim as the last intel macbook pro.
