Usually, we wouldn't compare the MacBook Pro with the MacBook Air, but considering how close the specs are, and the fact that MacBook Air also features a screen that supports the P3 color gamut, previously exclusive to MacBook Pros, there may be some people who think going for the Air is a better choice, especially as it comes with double the capacity for less money. What’s interesting is that the MacBook Air (M1, 2020) is available with the same M1 chip, and with the same amount of RAM and 512GB storage, for $1,249 / £1,249 / AU$1,949. Prices for the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020) start at $1,299 / £1,299 / AU$1,999 for the 256GB SSD/8GB RAM model, with the 2TB SSD/16GB RAM model selling for $2,299 / £2,299 / AU$3,499.īoth models come with the same M1 chip with an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU, and storage can be configured up to 2TB.įor comparison, the MacBook Pro (2020) launched earlier in 2020 for $1,299 / £1,299 / AU$1,999, so we're not seeing the price cut on the MacBook Pro some were hoping to see now that Apple has moved to its own silicon, but we commend Apple for releasing this version at the same price as the previous model. Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020): Price and availability There have also been supply chain rumours indicating that a MacBook Pro with an M2 chip will be released within 2022, further cementing the idea we could see it at WWDC 2022. Given the age of the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch and how it was the first model to introduce the M1 chip, it makes sense that Apple might release a new M2 chip in a new, potentially upgraded version of the MacBook Pro 13-inch. WWDC 2022 will last from Monday, June 6 to Friday, June 10, with people already guessing what might be unveiled. With the Apple M1 chip released in 2020 and follow-up, more powerful M1 Pro and M1 Max chips found in Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch devices, it’s entirely possible we’ll see a new M2 chip revealed at the 2022 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference.
