Apple may launch MacBook Air and MacBook Pro powered by M2 later this year

Apple is converting all of its laptops and tablets to its own internal M-series processors. The new iPad Air is now also powered by the M1 chip. However, Apple’s upcoming MacBooks could come with the next chip in the series, the M2.

A new report from 9to5Mac indicates that the next MacBook Air, codenamed J413, is expected to come with an M2 chip. The new M2 chip apparently codenamed “Staten” will have an eight-core CPU and a 10-core GPU.

Meanwhile, a 13-inch MacBook Pro powered by the M2 is also expected to launch later this year. This laptop will reportedly be codenamed J493 and could simply be called a MacBook this year as Apple plans to get rid of the “Pro” moniker.

The new M2 chip is set to replace the Apple M1 chip, but Apple is also said to be working on upgraded versions of the M2, including the M2 Pro, M2 Max and M2 Ultra.

Apple analyst Ming Chi Kuo also suggested that new MacBooks might arrive later this year, but also added that they’ll still have the older M1 chip, which is odd.

Kuo also added that the design of the new MacBook Air will be more in line with that of the current MacBook Pro lineup and users will have seven color options to choose from, including some white trim and keyboards.

Apple has yet to provide any details about it, and it is unlikely that we will get official information from the brand before the launch event. However, new leaks on the new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro could share more details in the coming months.
