Apple 2023 MacBook Pro Laptop M2 Pro chip with 10‑core CPU and 16‑core GPU: 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display, 16GB Unified Memory, 512GB SSD Storage. Works with iPhone/iPad; Space Gray

This unit is a rock solid update. Its a work horse. We have a midnight m2 air which is beautiful and amazing. But thats like a pretty small sports car. This mbp 14 is like an F150 work truck for serious business. No issues with it at all unlike previous models. I threw in a flush 1tb extreme sdcard into the slot. You can get flush cards for the unit which hold micro sdcards. Thats what I did. Im keeping movies, photo albums etc on that. I also threw on a clear cover case which shows the great looks of the mbp. I also wanted to protect it from the beating it will take with my travels. The only thing that could make this better is if it came in a new color like midnight. Also the usbC ports are tight. Nothing falls out as it holds well. If you need low weight then get the air m2 but otherwise for heavy work get this unit. It also charges off usbC as well as magsafe

I was told to stay home and wait for delivery of my laptop, so I did. However, UPS just dumped it on the porch and left. They didnt ring the bell or ask for a signature. I wouldnt have even known except my dogs started barking like crazy. When I went out to get it, I found the package open, plus it was damp. There hadnt been any rain. The laptop was safe and after unpacking, I went to plug in my wireless mouse, only to find there was no longer a standard USB port. When I called Apple about this, they told me that I was out of date and no one was using the larger USB any longer. So, I went to buy a USB C wireless mouse and found that all they sold were standard USB mice. I ended up having to buy a USB to USB C converter. When I went to set up the machine, it turned on when I moved it. I had not clicked anything. This concerned me. Why would the machine do that? After getting through the basic issues, I was able to get it set up and turned off. It seems to me that Apple should be a lot clearer about changes like no standard USB port. I would have bought a converter when I purchased the machine. Speed seems good. There were a few glitches getting things set up. Still, why would it turn on by itself? Why did Apple think that simply getting rid of a standard USB port was the right thing to do without clarifying in documentation. I hadnt bought a new Mac in years because they do last a long time. Hopefully, the worst is over and I can enjoy the new machine.

its a great machine, but removing the touch bar and going back to old skool hdmi and charger? why? No option of the new machine with those as options? lame.

I needed a superior laptop to handle all of my music and DJ needs. Apple is the industry standard. After spending close to $4k on a brand new Macbook Pro and using it for only 3 years with no drops, spills, etc., my laptop is dead. When I brought it into the Apple store I was informed that for some reason (they dont know why) a major hardware failure happened. They said it will cost $700 to fix a $4k 3 year old laptop. Any time Im in an apple store it is always crowded with customers needing a fix for their somewhat new products. I think that says something about how their quality has really gone down hill. So word to the wise, dont waste your hard earned money on an Apple product! They obviously are completely unreliable and junk after only a short amount of time at this point!

This thing is a beast!! I absolutely love it! Upgraded from my 7 year old MacBook and this is like a whole new world of speed, clarity and function!

This is a great computer. However, EVERY INTEL BASED APP, which are most apps, is extremely buggy. I traded in probably the worlds slowest computer (2016 MacBook 12 inch) for this, and I would rather it over this one. It has made my life AWFUL! Do not waste 2 thousand dollars.

Ordered through Amazon the MacBook Pro arrived as expected on Thursday, April 6th. Wanting to put it to use immediately, I opened the package immediately and tried to get it working. Unfortunately there was no instruction manual. I plugged it in and pressed the key to start, but found the task impossible. I was expecting the desktop page would be the first item on the screen, but it was not. A series of questions had first to be answered, with each question followed by a Back or Continue link. I had no problem with the first few questions, but when it came to Transfer Information to this Mac I was unable to supply the information that enabled me to Continue from this point. I tried a dozen or more times with different information that I thought might help, but to my huge disappointment I was unable to do ANYTHING ELSE on the MacBook Pro, and it was of no help to me over the whole week end.
