New year, new Macbooks. With little fanfare, Apple has unveiled updated 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros and an updated Mac Mini, now powered by the M2 Pro and M2 Max Apple-made chipsets.

Apple says the M2 Pro comes with 20 percent more transistors than the M1 Pro and doubles the amount of bandwidth when compared with the M2, from 100 GB per second to 200. Image processing is reportedly 40 percent faster on the M2 Pro over the M1 Pro too. All this should lead to improved performance across the board, but the proof will be in the pudding—we'll have our thoughts on these devices soon.

Other buffs to the MacBooks include support for 8K/60-Hz and 4K/240-Hz external screens when you use the HDMI port, as well as. Much else remains the same as their predecessors. You get the same great 120-Hz display, a durable build, and the improved port selection that includes three USB-C ports, HDMI, an SD card slot, a headphone jack, and a MagSafe connector. However, that means the things we didn't like stayed the same.

We also weren't thrilled about battery life, but Apple has somewhat addressed this in the latest model. Specifically, the 16-inch MacBook Pro has been bumped to 22 hours of battery life, up from 21. Not a huge boost, but it's still what Apple claims is “the longest battery life ever in a Mac." We'll see.
