Two-minute review The MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022) is a laptop of contradictions. It’s revolutionary... but plays it safe. Exciting... but a bit boring. It’s a strange choice… and it also makes complete sense. The good news is that it comes with Apple’s brand-new M2 chip , which the company promises offers a 40% performance increase over the M1 , yet it remains the same price as the previous model, starting at $1,299 / £1,299 / AU$1,999. For anyone who was just about to buy a MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020) , getting the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022) instead is a bit of a no-brainer, as you’re kind of getting the M2 upgrade for free. However, that lack of a price rise comes at a… well… price, as the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022) features the same design as the previous model – and the one before that. If you love the look of the old MacBooks, this won’t be an issue, but the lack of new design does make it feel a bit left out by Apple. Even if it is one of the best laptops you c...

It sort of makes sense, as the new MacBook Air has a larger screen, better speakers and a 1080p webcam, compared to the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022) that we actually got. The M2 chip in both laptops offer...

As we expected, Apple revealed a brand-new MacBook Air (M2, 2022) at this year’s WWDC 2022 keynote at its headquarters in Cupertino, California. We were there to get our first hands-on review of the MacBook Air (M2, 2022), spending a decent amount of time playing with the new laptop. The current MacBook Air (M1, 2020) is our pick for the best laptop you can buy right now, and from our brief time with the MacBook Air (M2, 2022), there’s a very good chance that Apple has another winner on its hands. (Image credit: Future) Price and availability We are still waiting on a ship date from Apple, but preorders are now live as of June 6.  This MacBook Air will be available in July starting at $1,199 ( £1,249). The M1-based Air will continue to be available for $999, though education users can grab one for a little less at $899. This leap in price is understandable, but it means it feels like poorer value than the older MacBook Air, which is a shame, as one of the bes...
