In our MacBook Pro with M2 Pro chip review, we noted its premium performance, 14+ hour battery life, and plentiful amount of ports. And with its vibrant high-resolution display and outstanding speakers, the MacBook Pro with M2 Pro Chip earned the a 4.5 out of 5-stars and our Editor’s Choice award.

Its multi-core score of 14,965 in the Geekbench 5.4 overall performance test solidified the 2023 MacBook with M2 Pro as an unbeatable powerhouse. In general, the company’s Apple silicon chip series has been nearly undefeatable, and this is no exception. 

When compared to the category average (6,173), it manages a score more than twice as high. And it scrapes competitors like the Asus ZenBook 14X (12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900H CPU, 11,142), Dell XPS 13 Plus (Intel Core i7-1280P CPU, 10,621) and the Acer Swift 5 (Core i7-1260P CPU, 9,859). 

Weighing in at 3.5 pounds, and 0.6-inches thin, the MacBook Pro M2 Pro is heavyweight, yet fairly portable. It’s slightly heavier but just as thin as the Asus ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition (3.1 pounds, 0.6 inches), Dell XPS 13 Plus (2.7 pounds, 0.6 inches) and Acer Swift 5 (2.7 pounds, 0.6 inches). It also has three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port, headphone jack, and SDXC card reader.
