Apple is preparing to introduce seven new devices from the Mac line. The list will include laptops and monoblocks with new processors.
MacBook Pro and Air
According to Bloomberg insider information, the company will soon announce the entry-level MacBook Pro with a 13-inch screen. The gadget will have an Apple M2 SoC on board. The new device will thus replace the old 2020 model with the M1 chipset. The device will not differ too much in terms of appearance from its predecessor, but most likely it will not have a Touch Bar, and the Retina display, which was installed on devices of the previous generation, will also remain the same.
Apple's new M2 chip will run on eight CPU cores, just like the M1. Improved performance and energy efficiency will be made possible by improving the process technology and increasing the number of GPU cores.
The M2 chipset will also equip the new MacBook Air. A laptop with a 13.3" screen will have a smaller thickness and weight compared to the previous model. It is noteworthy that the word Air will be removed from the name of the device. In addition, the device will receive smooth edges of the case instead of the rounded edges of its predecessor. 16-inch MacBook Pro (2021).
