New Macs have been announced! Here's what we got:

An updated Mac mini

  • The 14" and 16" MacBook Pros now feature the new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, improving on the incredible performance from the previous M1 models

  • The GPU core count ranges from 16 in the lowest end 14" MBP up to 38 in the 16". These can be configured during the ordering process
