Apple’s first M2 Mac has hit the usual review sites, and… nobody really cares.

Apple’s M2 MacBook Prois the weirdest computer in its lineup.

This might be Apple’s best-worst computer in quite a while.

“M2 MacBook Pro is a disaster.

But the M2 Pro is anything but new.

Its essentially a 2016 Touch Bar model with an Apple Silicon chip inside.

These M1 Macs were essentially just the old Intel lineup with new innards.

This had a few advantages.

One was that it was easier than changing everything at once.

Even back then, this “Pro” was a little odd.

It seemed to exist only so Apple could say it had a MacBook Pro in its new lineup.

Why Is Apple Selling It?

The M2 MacBook Pro 13 is old, old tech, and nobody should buy it.

There are a few good reasons for Apple to keep this around, though.

The first is purely the price.

There’s also a big gap, price-wise, between the MacBook Air and the cheapest modern MacBook Pro.

And finally, this could all be about the Touch Bar.

That’s where my wager would go.
