13-Inch MacBook Pro With M2 Chip Now Available to Order

[MacRumors]

The new 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 chip is now available to order worldwide via Apple.com and the Apple Store app. The first deliveries to customers and in-store availability will begin Friday, June 24, according to Apple.

Some built-to-order configurations with upgraded storage and memory already have shipping estimates pushing into early August in the United States.

The new 13-inch MacBook Pro features the same design as the previous model, including the Touch Bar and two Thunderbolt 3 ports. The only notable change is the M2 chip with an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU. Apple said the M2 chip has up to an 18% faster CPU, 35% faster GPU, and 40% faster Neural Engine compared to the M1 chip.

With the M2 chip, the 13-inch MacBook Pro can be configured with up to 24GB of unified memory, whereas the M1 chip maxes out at 16GB of memory. The notebook also supports up to 2TB of SSD storage. In line with the previous model, pricing starts at $1,299 in the United States, with silver and space gray color options available to choose from.

Apple is also releasing a redesigned MacBook Air with the M2 chip, but it is not available to order until next month. One notable difference between the notebooks is that the MacBook Air features a fanless design, while the MacBook Pro has an active cooling system to ensure sustained performance for users with more demanding workflows.

Update: In addition to standard 13-inch MacBook Pro configurations, Apple is now accepting orders for upgraded built-to-order configurations.

I do wonder how many of these they will sell.

 

[cyanite]

Well, not available in Denmark, at least. Edit: yes it is ;p

I do wonder how many of these they will sell.

If I had the money I would do it. So will have to stay with my 2020 MBP for a while.

 

[Red Oak]

Why does Apple keep it in the lineup? Because it is a huge seller and will have a ramp down before it’s decommissioned

Wait get read on new MBA 13.6” sales, and wait for launch of 15.4” MBA. Then, discontinue

By all measures, an incredible machine

 

[vagos]

I can't wait not to upgrade! Fortunately my M1 MBA works like a champ and will do for many years to come.
I do envy that magsafe tho

I do wonder how many of these they will sell.

My guess is a lot, close to their predictions too

 

[MTD's Mac]

I see it available for launch day, but all build-to-order configurations are "Currently Unavailable." Anyone else?

That's troubling, hopefully just aa glitch.

 

[carestudio]

just ordered mine

 

[UBS28]

Seems only the base model with 8 GB RAM is readily available. I guess the same will happen with the M2 MBA launch.

So if you want 16 GB RAM, good luck.

Update: I saw a 24gb/1TB SSD combination available, showing delivery dates of July 26-August 2nd. No 2TB’s available so far

 

[Love-hate 🍏 relationship]

yeah and while price remains the same for the US ,it increased by 150€ in Europe (France at least) .

the MBA M1 increased by 80€ which is already a bummer.

but 1600€ for 8/256 ??? what the ****

Do yourself a favor and get this on sale for $1800 instead. Literally an extra $100 gets you a better machine in ever way.

My advice: wait and buy the MBA or MBP14. This MBP with Touch Bar is a nonsense product on Apple lineup.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

I can't even buy anything besides the base model. Any upgrades say unavailable.

 

[davidjearly]

Nothing available in UK.

 

[sdedalus1]

I really wanted the M2 MBP but sadly the Touch Bar is a dealbreaker. They could have removed it but kept the overall design like the previous MBA. Instead, they sadistically continue to afflict it on us in an attempt to push “pros” to the $2k+ 14-inch, which is overkill for me. Je refuse!!!

 

[TinyMito]

I do wonder how many of these they will sell.

Many, students should start looking into it now before it hits into backorders for months wait time.

 

[jeroenvip]

I wonder when they will implement the NodgeBar Pro, a MacBook with the Nodge and the Touch Bar.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

I just woke up. Anybody placed an order for this and is eagerly excited?

 

[Leon Ze Professional]

I must admit I do not understand Apple why they chucked an M2 chip into it. They should have just simply discontinued it. That is just my opinion though right or wrong!

I agree with the M2 Chip part. It doesn’t make sense why they put it into it but I think they offered this machine for people who prefer the Touch Bar and no notch, maybe?

Just get the Air when it comes out in July then.

I totally agree with you! That is the only logical explanation to me.
