With hypothesis spreading about Apple’s first match of 2022, the Apple’s rumor mill is churning away. Within the Mac realm, there is been some buzz a couple of 13-inch entry-level MacBook Professional that might come powered through a brand new M chip. This might come at the heels of the upgraded MacBook Professional 14 and MacBook Professional 16 from overdue 2021.
This is the whole thing we have heard in regards to the rumored new 13-inch MacBook Professional up to now.
When will new MacBook Professionals be introduced?
Apple’s early match, which happened in April for 2021, historically specializes in iPads and extra entry-level (or training comparable) merchandise, because of this a made over MacBook Air or MacBook Professional 13 may well be within the playing cards.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman estimates that the 13-inch MacBook Professional, succeeding the 2020 MacBook Professional, will probably be introduced at an Apple match on March 8. (Digitimes additionally says a brand new low-end type will probably be coming on the match, but it surely has a blended accuracy report and Twitter leaker @dylantk‘s account has disappeared because it to begin with posted some comparable rumors.)
An M2 chip?
An “M2” is being bandied about as an replace to Apple’s first-gen M1 entry-level model, even though we have heard no main points past that. AppleTrack and others have mentioned that the aforementioned specifications would remove the whole thing that makes a MacBook Professional a “professional” type, particularly in mild of hypothesis a couple of made over Air, however I disagree. If the rumored M2 chip has specifications someplace between the M1 and M1 Max, say 8 cores (with 6 or 8 P cores), toughen for 32GB RAM, 14 GPU cores and no ProRes accelerator, it might serve fairly neatly as a more economical Professional for low-end content material advent, corresponding to maximum photograph enhancing. Now not everyone seems to be enhancing video. And that also leaves room for a mild, much less tough Air.
Keep tuned for extra as the inside track trickles in.
