New entry-level ‘M2’ MacBook Pro rumored to launch as soon as next month
Apple’s rumored new entry-level “M2” MacBook Pro could launch as soon as next month at the Cupertino company’s first special event of the year slated to be held on March 8, according to a new report from Digitimes that claims suppliers worked throughout the Lunar New Year holiday to meet Apple’s plans for the product to launch in “early March.”
Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman suggested last week that the new entry-level MacBook Pro would likely feature Apple’s next-gen custom silicon chip, lacking the premium ProMotion display found on the current 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro which launched late last year.
Apple is rumored to host its first special event of the year on March 8 to announce its new 5G iPhone SE and upgraded iPad Air with 5G and Center Stage camera, with the new entry-level “M2” MacBook Pro expected to be the unnamed Mac model that analysts had speculated would arrive at the event.
The Digitimes report reads: “Apple reportedly will release a spate of new devices in early March, including new MacBook Pro adopting the latest M2 processor, budget-level 5G iPhone SE and iPad, the sources said. Except for the processor, most other components used in the new MacBook Pro reportedly will feature almost the same specs as those for existing model featuring M1 chips, leading MacBook Pro supply chain partners to maintain production during the week-long Lunar New Year holiday to satisfy increasing demand.”
