Background

Apple first unveiled the new MacBook Pro 13" at WWDC on June 6, 2022. Starting at $1299 USD, it's available in Silver and Space Gray. While it has a new M2 chip inside of it that delivers a large amount of power, it still lacks the more squared-off design that the M2 Macbook Air and the 14" and 16" Macbook Pro's have, still using the tapered wedge shape of its predecessors.
