The 14-inch model is reported rated for up to 18 hours of video playback, and 12 hours of web surfing. Whereas the 16-inch model is expected to last for a huge 22 hours of video watching, and a still lengthy 15 hours of internet scrolling.  

Other upgrades include Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, that’s twice as fast as the previous MacBook models, as well as 8K display support via HDMI. It’s clear that whether you opt for an M2 Pro or an M2 Max model, you’ll be purchasing a beastly laptop.
