Redesigned Apple MacBook Pro Coming This Summer with up to 64 GB of RAM and 10-Core Processor
According to Bloomberg, which first predicted the arrival of Apple custom processors in MacBooks, we have another piece of information regarding Apple's upcoming MacBook Pro lineup, set to arrive this summer. As you are aware, MacBook Pro right now comes in two different variants. The first is a smaller 13-inch design that is powered by Apple's M1 chip, while the second is a 16-inch design powered by an Intel Core processor. However, it seems like that will no longer be the case when the next-generation lineup arrives. Starting this summer, all of the MacBook Pro models will have Apple's custom silicon powering these devices, which bring Intel's presence to an end.
And the successor to the now-famous M1 chip seems to be very good. As per the report, Apple is upgrading the architecture and the total core count. There are two different chips, codenamed Jade C-Chop and Jade C-Die. Both are 10-core designs, equipped with two small and eight big cores. The difference between the two is the total number of graphics cores enabled. The smaller version will have 16 graphics cores, while the bigger one will have 32 graphics cores. On the SoC, there will be an updated Neural Engine, for better AI processing. These new processors will come with up to 64 GB of RAM in selected configurations as well. The report also notes the arrival of HDMI port, SD card slot, and MagSafe for charging.

Fix the title. You have a spelling error there
I have one 2011 MacBook Air 13’ and one 2013 MacBook Air 11’ running strong with everyday usage. My 2011 had the battery replaced because of too many power cycles and losing effectiveness though.
Cherry on top were the useless 500 $ oled bar and some bad cooling solutions. Macbook air for the most part were so expensive compared to hw they offered that it felt like a fraud.
The first decent macbook in years was/is the 16 pro. Till 2012 I was an heavy mac user, when apple was able to offer the best and most reliable products on the market, then it became a consumer brand and later on a lifestyle brand.
Now with M1 it seems they are trying to set things right. We will see with M2 if they can make pro machines again
Anything with a butterfly keyboard is living on borrowed time, obviously.
Anything new from them has soldered SSDs, so good luck if a chip fails.
Their more recent pros had both overheating issues with the 5600m and charging problems because they pulled too much juice when plugged in.
