Mac fans had a good 2021, as Apple built upon the success of its M1 chip with a run of critically lauded Apple Silicon-powered product launches that culminated in the debut of new MacBook Pros.
The 14-inch 2021 MacBook Pro and the 16-inch 2021 MacBook Pro (pictured) are two of the best MacBooks released in years, offering a slew of smart design changes, gorgeous new mini-LED displays, and the power of Apple’s M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. However, with prices that start at $1,999 and $2,499, these laptops are priced out of the reach of most consumers.
Looking ahead to 2022, Apple is well-positioned to continue pushing the boundaries of MacBook performance and efficiency with more affordable options and new iterations of its bespoke silicon chips. There’s good reason to believe we’ll see an all-new Apple M2 chip debut in the year ahead, likely powering a revamped MacBook Air and perhaps a new entry-level MacBook Pro.
So whether you prize MacBooks for their power or portability, there are good reasons to get excited for what Apple’s cooking up in 2022.
