That’s thoroughly impressive, outlasting all rivals by some margin. The M2 Max chip is also available for those who need more graphics or power for specialist applications.įitted with the M2 Pro, the laptop lasted about 10% longer on battery than its predecessor in my testing, managing more than 15 hours of light work such as word processing or browsing and about 12 hours of more demanding tasks such as editing batches of large images in Affinity Photo.

It generally runs similarly to previous versions and not too different to Windows, but has useful screen-sharing and proximity features, allowing you to use a recent iPad as a second screen or control it remotely.

It runs macOS 13.2 Ventura like all recent Macs, including its desktop stablemate, the Mac mini. The keyboard and huge trackpad are best in class, while the power button in the top right doubles as a Touch ID sensor for logging in.
