The 13" MacBook Pro is so strange.
It is identical to the M2 MacBook Air, except:
- Worse camera: 720p camera where the Air has a 1080p camera
- Worse speakers: stereo speakers where the Air has four-speakers (I'm assuming stereo is 2-speakers?)
- Bigger battery: 58.2 WHr vs 52.6 WHr (about a 2hr battery life difference)
- Slightly heavier: +0.3 lbs over the Air
- Slightly smaller screen: 13.3" vs the Air's 13.6", although this is probably due to the notch
- Has the touchbar
They are priced the same from what I can tell.
- biztos 4y ago> I'm assuming stereo is 2-speakers You can't do stereo with fewer than 2 speakers but even if you have 64, you're probably still doing stereo. (Or you are a movie theater.) Generally speaking, you can probably achieve better stereo sound with the 4 speakers than with the 2, but this is not always the case. Coming from Apple, I would normally expect the Pro to have higher-end speakers and thus probably sound better. But I could be wrong, since Actual Audio Professionals don't use the onboard speakers for anything serious. Also: I'm really surprised there are enough TouchBar lovers to justify its continued existence.
