MacBook Pro 14 M2 (2023) vs MacBook Pro 14 M1 (2021) – specs sheets and configurationsīut first, here’s a specs sheet of the two Macbook Pro 14 generations.ġ4.2 inch, 16:10 format, Liquid Retina XDR display, We’ll also discuss the 2023 MacBook Pro 16 models in a separate article. Nonetheless, let’s go over what has changed between these 20 generations, discuss the potential performance gains offered by the M2 MacBook Pro models (based on Apple’s claims and real-life tests and benchmark reviews), and then we’ll go over a few external reviews for a round-up of the general consensus around this MacBook series. And since the 2023 models don’t offer notable new features (with minor exceptions), the decision will eventually come down to these two aspects: the overall performance and capabilities reported to the price that you’re paying. Hence, I wasn’t surprised that most reviewers consider the M1 MacBook Pros the better-value buys even now in 2023, as long as you can still find them in stock, for two main reasons: they’re already powerful enough for most users, and they can be more affordable than the M2 updates.
