The new 14-inch MacBook Pro is super compact but feels super-robust, which makes it very satisfying to use. The 2021 MacBook Pro brought with it a new physical design, which included a number of highly sought-after new ports and subsequently a thicker laptop that I can't help but love – more so, and this is a bold statement, over my M1 MacBook Air. All of the focus for this model has gone under the hood, and, honestly, this wasn't a surprise considering how much Apple put into the design of the 2021 version.Īnd I have to be honest, I'm really glad it hasn't changed. There's little to say about the design of the new 2023 version of the 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro, other than it remains pretty much identical to the previous iteration.


But the question you really need to ask yourself is, do you really need it? What is driving your purchasing decisions? Is it just that it's Apple shiny new device, or do you actually need its, frankly, mind-boggling power? Will this enhance your workflow enough to justify the price tag? Let's take a closer look at what it can do to help you make an informed decision. I received a review unit and gave it a thorough test for Creative Bloq's Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M2, 2023) review, living and working with it for a number of weeks. There's no doubt this laptop will take the top spot in our pick of the best laptops for graphic design (opens in new tab).
