However, I wanted to sift through the test results with a fine tooth comb to see what I could find.

Like I said at the outset, the M2 Pro MacBook Pro is a performance powerhouse with very few flaws. Hey, it’s a compliment to Apple if we have to take out a proverbial magnifying glass to spot its imperfections. However, with “22 hours of battery life” etched into my brain, I was prepared to add the M2 Pro MacBook Pro to a top spot on our laptops with the best battery life page, perhaps even knocking out the reigning champ: the 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro with over an 18-hour runtime.Īs it turned out, the M2 Pro MacBook Pro barely snuck into 10th position on our “laptops with the best battery life” page. In the grand scheme of things, nearly 14 hours of battery life on a beastly laptop is still impressive. This is only a 12-minute setback, but again, Apple set my expectations way too high. As such, I was disappointed to discover that the M2 Pro MacBook Pro only lasted 13 hours and 57 minutes compared to the M1 Pro MacBook Pro’s slightly better runtime (14 hours and 9 minutes). I know, I know - “up to” are the operative words here, but still, I was expecting mind-blowing battery runtimes across the board (not just the 16-inch models).
Similarly, Apple set itself up for failure by claiming that its new MacBook Pros deliver up to 22 hours of battery life. Consequently, the read performance is a hair slower on the M2 Pro MacBook Pro, but not significantly so in my opinion.ĩto5Mac also reported that the SSD inside the M2 Pro MacBook Pro suffered a performance dip when it comes to write performance, but we didn’t see this in our test results. Why is this happening? Well, as 9to5Mac pointed out, the new MacBook Pro has fewer NAND chips (but at a higher capacity): its predecessor has four while the current-gen model has two. On the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test, the 14-inch M2 Pro MacBook Pro delivered a slightly slower read score (5,293) compared to the M1 Pro MacBook Pro’s output (5,321). But when we pitted both laptops against each other, we discovered that the SSD inside the M2 Pro-powered laptop is, indeed, slower than its predecessor. We don’t have a perfect apples-to-apples comparison because the 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro we tested in 2021 had a 1TB SSD while the current-gen unit we have is packed with a 2TB SSD.
