New MacBook Pros on M2 Pro and M2 Max will get more ports, new screens and cameras
Despite the fact that Apple has already released a MacBook Pro based on SoC M2, in the coming months the company may bring to the market more productive new products.
Well-known journalist and insider Mark Gurman says that Apple has an internal goal to release 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros on the M2 Pro and M2 Max in the fall. They are already in development. At the same time, due to problems with logistics, they may not come out in the fall, but later, including in the spring of next year.
Since Apple just updated the design of the MacBook, the new items in this matter will not offer anything new. But supposedly the number of ports will increase, the display and camera will improve.
Gurman also believes that SoC M2 Pro and M2 Max will primarily offer significantly increased performance of graphics cores, which is important for a number of professional tasks.
A screenshot from the presentation of Acer, held in Indonesia, has been published on the Web. One of the slides features a Swift Edge laptop (part number SFA16-41). It aims to be the world’s lightest 16-inch laptop.
The declared mass of the device is only 1.1 kg. At the same time, the laptop received an OLED panel with a resolution of 4K and a frame rate of 90 Hz. There are no other details, but it can be assumed that the device uses 12 generation Intel processors.
At the moment, the lightest 16-inch laptop is LG Gram 16 – it is equipped with a screen with a resolution of 2.5K, and weighs 1.19 kg. Obviously, the new Acer will be more attractive, but so far it is not on sale and its cost is unknown.
