Apple didn’t just introduce a new MacBook Air at WWDC — it also unveiled an overhaul of the 13-inch MacBook Pro. The new ‘entry’ pro laptop unsurprisingly uses an M2 chip that promises improved performance and efficiency, including a hefty 20 hours of peak battery life (during video playback) and quicker ProRes video processing.

You can also expect “studio-quality” microphones, up to 24GB of RAM and a maximum 2TB of storage. As with its M1 predecessor, then, this isn’t a no-holds-barred workstation. You’ll need to buy a higher-tier MacBook Pro if you demand a ton of memory or drive capacity.
