This is very impressive, and easily beats the previous MacBook Pro 13-inch's score by several hours.

In our tests, we found Apple's claims to be on the money, with the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022) lasting 15 and a half hours in our battery test, which involves playing a looped 1080p video. This is important in a laptop, as it means it can provide plenty of power for the tasks you require of it without draining the battery too fast.Īpple boasted of how the M2 chip could offer an 18% performance boost to CPU tasks while still using the same amount of power as the M1 chip - an exciting prospect considering how powerful - and power-efficient - the M1 chip was. The M2 chip isn't just a powerful bit of hardware, it's also very efficient. Overall, we found the performance of the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022) to be very good, and a step above the previous model.

Hopefully if there is an issue, it may be one that's easily fixed with a software update. We didn't experience this while testing the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022), but we'll be keeping an eye on those reports.
However, there have been reports that some MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022) units aren't properly cooling themselves, and that leads to throttling, where components inside a computer deliberately slow themselves down to avoid overheating - which impacts overall performance. We also hardly heard the fans fire up, which means this is a workstation laptop that is almost completely silent in use.
macOS felt fast and responsive, and we even edited 4K video with various sources playing at once, and the MacBook Pro 13-inch kept performing. We ran several apps, including the Adobe Photoshop photo editor, while also browsing websites on Safari, and the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022) kept pace brilliantly. This, coupled with the fast unified memory (our review unit comes with 16GB), meant the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022) is particularly good at multi-tasking. We ran a number of benchmark tests, which you can view in the boxout on this page, and we saw a decent increase in processor performance in Geekbench 5 and Cinebench compared to the MacBook Pro 13-inch with an M1 chip. This MacBook is great for multi-tasking (Image credit: Future) The neural engine of the M2, which handles a lot of AI and machine learning features in apps such as Adobe Photoshop, has been boosted, with Apple claiming 40% faster performance, and you can now configure the MacBook Pro 13-inch up to 24GB of unified memory. That fact may sway people who need graphical grunt for their projects, but it’s also worth noting that the new MacBook Air can be configured to come with an M2 chip with 10-cores as well, though for a higher price. So, while the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro 13-inch are now powered by the M2 chip, the MacBook Pro continues to have the edge when it comes to graphical performance. The MacBook Pro 13-inch is the first device to come with Apple’s new M2 chip, which features an 8-core CPU with four efficiency and four performance cores, with a 10-core GPU, which is two more than the GPU in the Apple M1 powering the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (2020), and more than the M2 chip in the base model of the new MacBook Air.
