Apple | MacBook Pro M1 now 300 euros cheaper at Amazon | macbook

After the Apple MacBook Pro M2 was released, the prices for the MacBook Pro M1 on Amazon fell. You can save up to 300 euros on models with 13 inches, 14 inches and 16 inches and SSD capacities from 256GB to 1TB. The “old” MacBooks are all the more interesting since the first tests of the MacBook Pro with the M2 chip have shown that Apple – apparently for cost reasons – installed a much slower “hard disk” model in the entry-level model with a 256 GB SSD. In plain language: The brand new MacBook Pro M2 has a 50% (!) slower read speed and a 33% slower write speed than the 2020 MacBook Pro M1. Small consolation: If you buy the Apple notebook model with a 512 GB SSD, the SSD is as fast as the M1 model from 2020. The much slower SSD was therefore “only” installed in the 256 GB model.

MacBook Pro /Air M1 with strong discounts at Amazon

The Apple MacBook Pro M1 (2020) with 256 GB SSD is not only much faster when reading and writing SSD, but also 480 euros cheaper than the new model with M2 chip.

Now you can buy the MacBook Pro M1 at Amazon with big discounts. The online retailer offers the model with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD for 1,219.86 euros instead of 1,412. Compared to the new MacBook Pro M2 with a much slower SSD, as mentioned, you even save over 350 euros. Amazon also offers discounts on other 13-inch, 14-inch and 16-inch Apple laptop models. And the MacBook Air M1 can also be used to save a lot at the moment. The model with (also faster) 256 GB SSD only costs around 900 euros.

What does Apple’s M2 offer in MacBook Air/Pro, Mac mini & Co?

Among the first devices from Apple with the M2 chip are the 13-inch MacBook Pro laptop with up to 24GB of RAM, as well as the 13.6-inch MacBook Air M2, which has been redesigned from the ground up. Manufactured with second-generation 5 nanometer technology, the M2 offers an 18 percent faster CPU, a 35 percent more powerful GPU and a 40 percent faster neural engine than the previous M1 chip, according to Apple. The M2 is also said to offer 50 percent more memory bandwidth than the M1. After the MacBook Pro and the MacBook Air M2, the successor to the M1 chip is to be used in the iMac 24 inch 2022 and Mac Mini 2022. While many apps had to be reprogrammed for the M1, the comparable architecture of the upcoming SoC eliminates this work. Apple M2 continues to rely on the 8-core architecture of the M, but the CPU cores are supposed to be clocked faster. The first Apple devices with M2 chip have recently been on the market.
