A: The only difference is the chip everything else is exactly the same as the M1 MacBook Pro. If its worth it, that's your choice. To help you decide these are the differences between M1 and M2: 18% faster CPU than M1 and 35% faster GPU than M1 and a 40% faster Neural Engine than M1.
A: You should be able to order it right now. I would wait if I were you, for the MacBook Air Model thats coming out later in July, it has better screen, magsafe, incredibly thin, and it has better speakers. The only thing that the M2 MacBook Pro has going for it is the Touch Bar and it has a fan, plus the M2 MacBook Pro is 100 dollars more expensive than the M2 MacBook Air. If you really need the performance though I would shoot for the 14 inch MacBook pro with the M1 Pro.
Q: Does this model have the Touch Bar
A: Yes
Q: does this laptop have a cd player? dont see anything mentioned. Thanks
A: No, only 2 usb-c ports.
Q: Does the MAcBook Pro 13.3" have a HDMI port?
A: No it doesn’t have need to buy an external connector
Q: can a macbook pro or air be suitable for a biology major student?
A: yes -a biochemistry major
Q: Can the M2 be upgraded to the newest version. Does the system allow for it?
A: For Macbook. I think you can upgrade operating system as long as Apple still support it. I would say at least 5-7 years down the road.

Best purchase I ever made
This has been one of the best purchases I have ever splurged on. I fell in love with my MacBook and I didn’t think I’d use a laptop much because I have my phone, but I was wrong. After I got this, I wanted to use it constantly. The graphics and display quality is above and beyond. I have had zero issues with it. I use it daily and I only have to charge once a week. The only thing I regret it not going for the bigger screen but I wanted the Touch Bar which I realize is not as essential as I thought but it is however nice and convenient. The Touch Bar only comes with the smallest model in the Pro. The laptop is only 3 pounds and makes traveling on the plane so easy due to it being so light and it fits right in my backpack (diaper bag) very easily. The processor in this laptop is unreal. I’ve never gotten the spinning wheel of death amf everything runs so smoothly. Overall 10/10 recommend but if you can afford the bigger ones, go for it!
