In practice, the automatic regulation of brightness and color temperature is extremely practical. The black level of the mini-LED panel is just 0.02, which results in an extremely high contrast. In normal SDR mode, the brightness in the center of the screen is exactly 500 cd/m², so Apple has calibrated it very well. For example, as soon as a corresponding YouTube video starts, the panel then benefits from the higher brightness. While you usually have to activate HDR mode manually on Windows devices, it works automatically here. Furthermore, Apple is clearly the pioneer when it comes to implementing HDR. The subjective picture quality is simply outstanding and thanks to 120 Hz, moving images are displayed very smoothly. The mini LED panel also remains unchanged, but this is not a problem either. For more information, we refer to our previous reviews: As Apple only introduced the basic design in the 2021 models, no changes to the case or the input devices have been made. Our model even has 32 GB of RAM and a 2 TB SSD installed, which is why the price here rises to US$3,299.00. Our review device is the MacBook Pro 14 with the fast M2 Pro (12 CPU cores & 19 GPU cores), which is available with 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD from US$2,499.00. The prices have also increased by around US$150.
At the same time, fast 6 GHz WLAN networks (Wi-Fi 6E) are now supported and, according to Apple, battery runtimes are better than before.
At the heart of the new models are, of course, Apple's own M2 Pro and M2 Max SoCs, which are said to offer significantly more performance in terms of both the processor and the graphics card. After the launch was postponed last fall, Apple has now finally presented the upgraded versions of the MacBook Pro models.
