Apple opened up preorders for its newest laptop, the M2 MacBook Pro, on Friday June 17. The laptop starts at $1,299 with memory and storage options that push the price to $2,499. You can order the the MacBook at Apple or Best Buy.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro is Apple’s first laptop with the next-generation M2 processor with an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU. Apple hasn’t changed anything else about the laptop, so it has the same design as before, with a 13.3-inch display with True Tone, two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports, and a Touch Bar.
The redesigned MacBook Air will also have an M2 processor when it launches next month. That laptop has an all-new design with a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, slim bezels, and MagSafe and costs $1,199.
The base model of the MacBook Pro will deliver by June 24, but we expect the stock to dwindle as the day goes on. Other configurations with higher RAM and storage allotments are pushed into July and August, depending on the options.
