MacBook Pro 13-inch and MacBook Air recently got the M2 chip upgrade last week. The M2 chip is not as much of a powerhouse as the M1 Max and M1 Ultra chips introduced earlier, but it certainly offers notable upgrade in performance over the M1 chip models. The MacBook Air M2 is the all-new model this time, getting the new design treatment as well as some long needed refinements. The 13-inch-MacBook Pro, however, is seen more of a as a minor chip update over its predecessor, which is largely true.

So, why buy the 13-inch MacBook Pro with M2? And who should get it? Obviously, there are reasons behind the MacBook Pro's existence despite the almost similar MacBook Air M2 on sale. Hence, we take a look at it once again as to why it makes so much sense to buy the 13-inch MacBook Pro over the new Air, and when is it going on sale.
