This 14-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Pro chip is a powerful, compact laptop that I use to perform all my heavy tasks. This way, I can easily multitask between programs like Final Cut Pro, without my MacBook getting warm. The screen is razor-sharp and the colors jump off the screen. In my eyes, this MacBook is almost perfect: only an Ethernet port is missing.
Suitable for every usage situation
The sleek design is the same as its 2021 predecessor. It's the content that Apple has upgraded. My MacBook has the M2 Pro chip, 16 gigabytes of RAM and 512 gigabytes of storage. You cannot expand this composition later. Do you keep a lot of files? Then it is wise to immediately opt for more storage space. My composition is enough for me to edit videos and do all my general tasks. Do you also want to perform 3D operations or develop apps? Then choose a MacBook with an M2 Max chip. This one has even more graphical power. Furthermore, this 14-inch model fits easily in my bag and weighs only 1.6 kilograms. At the office I can easily and quickly connect 2 extra screens to create a better overview. Unfortunately, there is no Ethernet connection, so you cannot use an internet cable. Personally, I don't mind this much, because I use my docking station for this. I don't worry about the security of my files, because all my data is well secured with my own fingerprint: Touch ID.
Battery almost empty? Load up!
I was positively surprised by the return of the MagSafe 3 connection. This magnetic charging cable was previously replaced by a USB-C connection, but is now back. This is especially useful when I walk away with my MacBook with the cable still plugged in. The charger releases immediately, which prevents a fall or accident. Within an hour my new MacBook was fully charged and I could get started with the installation. Transferring all my data was a breeze. After the synchronization, I worked with heavy programs for a whole day without having to charge extra.
Razor-sharp image with popping colors
It's not often I've seen such a sharp screen. The colors jump off my screen and the contrast gives depth to everything you see. When I watch my favorite Netflix series, I enjoy smooth images without stutters. Also while editing my videos everything runs smoothly. Do you edit a lot of highly detailed videos? Then I recommend the 16 inch size. After all, you see more details on this screen than on the smaller 14-inch screen.
