Where and when do we start to measure an incremental upgrade over a radical or full one, and when does it no longer matter because the incremental one is still vastly superior to everything out there? There's no question that Apple's revolutionary M1 silicon chip set a new bar for computer processors when it was launched in November 2020. It...

Where and when do we start to measure an incremental upgrade over a radical or full one, and when does it no longer matter because the incremental one is still vastly superior to everything out there?

Then last June, the company quickly, and expectedly, unveiled the improved M2 chip for MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini and iPad Pro devices, driving consumers to once again question their need, and desire, for even more powerful machines. Continuing its rich legacy of never fixing what's not broken, the new MBP machines do not deviate at all from last year's models.

We ran the Geekbench 5 performance test and came back with a result of 2,009 for single core, and 14,842 for multi-core scores. Comparatively, last year's MBP 16 M1 Max model presented 1,758 on single core, and 12,014 on multi-core scores, showing the significant performance upgrade you'll get with the new machines.

Should you upgrade? Only if you don't own the MBP powered by the M1 chips, as last year's beauties still pack a mean punch, and show no signs of slowing down. The only trade off you might want to seriously consider, if price is not an issue, is the weight. M1 and M2 powered MacBook Air machines offer the same extended battery life not found in any other laptop brands but with the MacBook Pro 16-inch, the contentious issue is the 2.16kg weight that simply isn't for everyone, and you'll need an equally large bag to carry this beast around.
