Whew! It’s finally over.
We all survived Apple’s 2023 Worldwide Developer Conference (or WWDC) keynote and lived to tell the tale. We got a boatload of updates about software enhancements to all of Apple’s core products, as well as a look at the new Vision Pro headset. But we can’t spend money on any of those things right now, so who cares?
Here are the products Apple showed off at WWDC 2023 that you can pre-order right now.
15-inch MacBook Air M2
One of the most heavily rumored announcements ahead of the show turned out to be true. There’s a new M2 MacBook Air in town, though it’s not too different from the M2 model that Apple shipped last year.
Essentially, this is the same laptop with a screen size upgrade, from 13.6-inches to 15.3-inches. That’s a pretty substantial boost in display real estate for those who want it. It can also go up to 2TB of storage and 24GB of RAM. Combine that with an 18-hour battery and the same excellent M2-fueled performance as the previous model, and this should be a fine addition to anyone’s MacBook collection.
You can pre-order it right now on Apple’s store website(opens in a new tab). It starts at $1,299 and begins shipping to customers on June 13.
Mac Studio, including M2 Max and Ultra
But that’s not all! Apple also showed off a pair of beefy desktop computers(opens in a new tab) at WWDC 2023.
First up is the new Mac Studio. It can optionally include either the M2 Max or the new M2 Ultra chip, making it a good deal more powerful than a laptop. Apple says the M2 Ultra model is up to 3x faster than the M1 Ultra Mac Studio. It can connect to up to six Pro Display XDR monitors and includes a whopping four Thunderbolt 4 ports, alongside two USB-A ports. Add on two extra USB-C ports and an SD card slot on the front of the device, and you’ll be all set for professional connectivity.
Mac Studio starts at $1,999 and will ship to consumers next week. You can pre-order it on Apple’s website(opens in a new tab).
Mac Pro
Last but certainly not least, let’s talk about Mac Pro.
This is a hoss of a machine that’s meant for serious professionals, so chances are you probably don’t need one. It’s M2 Ultra-powered, has eight Thunderbolt 4 ports, three USB-A ports, two HDMI ports, two Ethernet ports, and a headphone jack to top it all off. People who buy this will use all of those things to render complex 3D images for animated movies and whatnot. It’s not really meant for looking at Twitter.
As such, this absolute beast starts at $6,999. You can pre-order it from Apple’s website(opens in a new tab) now.
