I am a bit confused on this, I didn't think this chassis ever housed the M2.. I thought it was just the M1 that got the "pro" designation.
More importantly, this "pro" has 2 thunderbolt ports and a headphone jack, furthest thing from a pro model. You want the 14" or 16" model which has a proper array of I/O.
Yeah it is basically an update of the old version just with the M2.
Good overview at Ars Technica

Agree with you - either get the Air or the 14”
Thanks for that, I guess they have a whole bunch of older chassis that made it worth whacking the m2 in there. Interesting, another financial landmine set by Apple palming off inferior "current" products.
thanks for sharing
Yep - I've got an intel MBP13 with the touch bar, and it's pretty useless.
Touch bar is not just useless, in most cases.
Unless you have some particular need for it, it's a semi-reliable, functional pain.
This one, at least, have a separate ESC key. But still.
$1775.40 at AOC.

Any ideas if we will see sales on MBP, MBAs in the near future after Apple's announcements last night?
not sure which retailer it's matching, the current price is
$1664.00
Just in case potential buyers aren’t aware, this is the ancient design. Would stay away and get an M2 Air, unless you really want the semi-useless Touch Bar.
