I’ve gone through a lot of laptops, but none have stolen my productivity-loving heart quite like the MacBook Pro 14-inch with M2 Pro. There is one condition, though, which is that you really shouldn’t buy the base model.
But while Amazon seemed to forget about this laptop in its Prime Big Deal Days sale, B&H is still giving you $100 off the best configuration for your money!
I reported about the base model 14-inch MacBook Pro being enough for most users for our sister site Laptop Mag. While that remains true, there is a ceiling to the power potential that is driven by the limited 16GB of RAM.
I feel the slowdown most during complex 4K clip renders in Final Cut Pro, and in serious moments of multitasking (around three creative pro apps and 10+ Chrome tabs).
It won’t be a dealbreaker for the vast majority of readers — the base model is still a powerful system. But if you don’t want to feel that boost in prosumer performance, look at upgrading that RAM to unlock the full capabilities of M2 Pro.
