Q: What's the purpose of this device? Seems unnecessary and redundant, sticking with the old design yet offering nothing new. This seems like a downgrade from M2 Air. Lacks the Air's redesign, yet keeps the touch bar which is gone on 14" Pros with M1 Pro.

A: Check out all the videos about thermals with the M2 MacBook Air on YouTube... it appears they either didn't put a good heatsink in or didn't include one at all. The chip throttles after a few minutes of a hard load and tops out around 105 degrees Celsius. I agree, you get a new design for "cheaper" with the M2 MacBook Air, but the inclusion of a fan with the M2 MacBook Pro makes it a far more stable machine.

Q: How many memory slots does this system have for RAM? Is the RAM removeable so I can install 16GB?

A: No ram slots. The memory is integrated into cpu/gpu system on a chip. Vastly more efficient than older machines, not user upgradeable.

Q: What os does this computer have and is it good for my music studio

A: Os Monterey and will ask if you want to upgrade to the latest Ventura. You would need to to verify if the software is compatible or stable with either Monterey or Ventura in its minimum requirements section

Q: Does it have a touch screen?

A: No, It has a traditional track-pad.

    Impressive Performance and Sleek Design

    I recently purchased the MacBook Pro 13.3" with the Apple M2 chip, 8GB of memory, and a 512GB SSD, and I couldn't be happier with my investment. This laptop, the latest model from Apple, has truly exceeded my expectations in more ways than one. I made my purchase at the Best Buy store located in Tempe Market Place, and the whole shopping experience was smooth and enjoyable. First and foremost, the performance of this MacBook Pro is outstanding. The Apple M2 chip delivers lightning-fast processing power, allowing me to breeze through tasks and run resource-intensive applications with ease. Whether I'm working on graphic design projects or editing videos, the laptop never skips a beat. The 8GB of memory ensures that multitasking is a seamless experience, and the 512GB SSD provides ample storage space for all my files and applications. One standout feature that I absolutely love is the soft-touch pad located above the keyboard. This Touch Bar is incredibly intuitive and convenient, allowing me to customize shortcuts and access functions quickly. It has streamlined my workflow and made navigating through applications a breeze. Battery life is another area where the MacBook Pro shines. I'm amazed at how long the battery lasts on a single charge. In fact, I only need to charge it once a week with regular use, which is a significant improvement over my previous laptop. This extended battery life gives me the freedom to work on the go without constantly worrying about finding an outlet. Design-wise, Apple has once again set the bar high. The MacBook Pro's sleek and premium aluminum build exudes sophistication and durability. The Retina display is a visual treat, with vibrant colors and sharp detail that make every task, from watching movies to browsing the web, an immersive experience. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the improved Magic Keyboard mechanism ensures a satisfying typing experience with reduced noise. The laptop's speakers deliver clear and immersive audio, perfect for enjoying music and videos without the need for external speakers. In terms of connectivity, the MacBook Pro comes with a variety of ports, including USB-C Thunderbolt ports, making it versatile and future-proof. The MacBook Pro 13.3" with the Apple M2 chip has proven to be an excellent investment. Its exceptional performance, long-lasting battery life, and innovative features like the Touch Bar make it a top-notch choice for professionals and creative individuals. I am delighted with my purchase, and I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a powerful and stylish laptop. Kudos to Best Buy at Tempe Market Place for providing a smooth and hassle-free buying experience.

    A Marvel of Portability and Performance

    We needed a lightweight but powerful laptop for my daughter to carry out her schoolwork, coding classes and small video editing stuff and this laptop proved to be the perfect companion. I traded my 2014 Intel i5 MacBook air and the whole switching process was perfectly seamless. Getting the best price from Best buy to setting up the new shiny laptop was just a breeze. I can say almost zero downtime. New macbook air-2 has much smaller footprint and it retains the best craftman ship of earlier Air. Small notable upgrades 1) Retina display is much better with vivid colors, sharp details, and excellent viewing angles. Editing photos, watching movies, or simply browsing the web, the visual experience is nothing short of exceptional. 2) Performance: Performance-wise, the MacBook Air 2 packs a punch. Equipped with the latest generation of Apple's M2series chip, it delivers blazing-fast speeds and smooth multitasking capabilities. Video editing on imovies is much better than ever. 3) Battery life: Comparision with our old air would not be justified to old machine but this is again area where we felt at home. The battery life is simply impressive, providing all-day usage without needing to reach for the charger. Best buy professional also helped me to save on purchasing apple care with Best buy membership (I no longer need to worry about key getting broken when my kiddo playing her games on Arcade). In short I highly recommend the MacBook Air 2 to anyone in search of a premium and versatile computing experience. Look below notes from my daughter in her essay and why she liked her Air-2 :)

    From Zero to Hero with My Apple Mac Pro – A Love S

    Okay, gather around folks, because do I have a tale for you! This isn't just a review; it's an epic saga of how the Apple Mac Pro with a whopping 24 GB RAM and a cavernous 1TB storage turned my life from a tech-tragedy to a software symphony! First off, let’s talk speed – this laptop is so fast, I’m pretty sure it has its own warp drive. I hit the power button and boom, I’m in! It’s like it knows what I want to do before I even do. Multi-tasking? More like mega-tasking. I can have 30 tabs open, run a virtual machine, edit a 4K video, and still have enough juice left to launch a space program. The 1TB storage? Oh, sweet motherboard of mercy, it’s like having a black hole that sucks in all my endless files, photos, and videos, yet still hungers for more. It’s the digital equivalent of Mary Poppins' bag. And let’s not forget the aesthetics – it’s sleeker than a greased otter sliding down a rainbow. Sitting in a café with this beauty makes me feel like I'm in a sci-fi movie, where I'm the genius everyone relies on to save the day. When I pull this laptop out, it’s not just a device, it's a statement. Battery life deserves a special shout-out – it’s like the laptop sips power from a tiny teacup. I’ve binge-watched entire seasons of shows, and my Mac Pro was like, “Is that all you've got?” In conclusion, if this Mac Pro were a person, it would be a superhero – cape and all. It’s not just a laptop; it’s my new best friend, confidant, and perhaps the best wingman I’ve ever had. 10/10 would recommend if you enjoy sheer excellence wrapped in aluminum!
