I'm also still on the MacBook Pro M1 and it's amazing. But this new one makes me drool. I am happy to see MagSafe back and the SD card slot and USB-C ports on both sides.

Now someone grab my arms before I dump water on this keyboard.



All of that was already on the M1 versions of the same laptops though wasn’t it?


IIRC, Apple offered (offers? I haven’t checked) the 13” M1 which was based on the previous chassis, then launched the 14/16” on the new one.


Well yes but that new chassis, with magsafe, 3xUSB-C, HDMI, and SD, was launched in 2021, with the M1-based 14" and 16".

The M2-based 13" still has two USB-C on the same side and no SD: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-13/specs/


The comment you replied to says that their MacBook M1 does not have those features.

It does not have an SD card slot not MagSafe because it was a 13” M1 MacBook Pro. Nobody claimed that their MacBook was the latest chassis, just that it had an M1.

> The M2-based 13" still has two USB-C on the same side and no SD

One can easily interpret their comment to say that they are happy it still has USB-C on both sides. Most non-MacBooks have one or two ports, generally on one side only. With the addition of other ports, Apple could have very well removed some of the USB-C ports.

I’m not sure why you are trying to insist that they don’t know their own laptop. They even provided you a link showing the model did in fact exist.

The comment I replied to says that they're drooling over magsafe, sd card, and USB-C on both sides.

My point is that's been available for 18 months at the exact same range position (and a lower price point) as the new laptops.

The updated version of their current laptop doesn't have any of those.

I'm... not doing that?

I'm the only person who provided any link here.


No. At least not on this one: MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)


As far as I can see the laptops in TFA are 14 and 16”.

The 13” remains a heavier Air, with two ports on the same side and no magsafe: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-13/specs/


Ah got it! Yes mine is a 13". Maybe I'll go 14".


They’re great machines but do be aware they’re a fair bit heavier than the 13”, even the 14” is 0.5lb heavier (3.5 to 3). (The 16” is a 4.7lb chonk).
