According to the source, buyers have already started getting a brand new MacBook Pro 13.3 on the M2 chip. Externally, the new version has not changed, but internal users were waiting for unpleasant surprises.

Big minus MacBook Pro 2022

Several foreign bloggers have tested Apple’s new laptops in different scenarios, and tests have shown that the new Mac is worse than its predecessor in the M1 in terms of SSD quality. The drive runs 30-50 percent slower on the new laptop, but logically the new version should work better.

Here are the specific numbers:

• MacBook Pro 13 (chip M1 / ​​256 gigabytes) – read 2900 / write 2215.
• MacBook Pro 13 (chip M2 / 256 gigabytes) – read 1446 / write 1463.

The difference is very important. The speed of the SSD affects the performance of most tasks: start your computer, install and open applications, work with browser tabs and just move files. Therefore, the user will definitely notice this when using a computer.

cause found YouTube bloggers. Understood that The Pro model in the M1 has a drive consisting of two 128 gigabyte NAND chips, while the new Pro 13 in the M2 has one solid NAND with a capacity of 256 gigabytes. Two separate chips allow to increase speed in parallel simultaneous operation. So when left alone, the speed dropped.

In this case, according to the source, one chip costs Apple less than two, and restriction only applies to base Pro 2022 model. The more expensive version already has a 512 gigabyte drive, which consists of two 256 gigabyte NAND chips, producing roughly the same speed as the model in the M1. That is, to get a device no worse than the previous model, you need to pay another $ 300 and buy not the basic, but the “pumped” version for $ 1499.
