Apple has not only announced the availability of its new M2 Max and M2 Pro computer chips, but also a new Mac mini and the new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops.

Apple has announced the new M2 Pro and M2 Max which feature a more powerful CPU and GPU and up to 96GB of unified memory.

In a Geekbench 5 result that surfaced earlier this week, the new 13-inch M2 Macbook Pro achieved a score of 8,928, significantly better than the baseline Mac Pro with an 8-core Intel Xeon W processor that has a score of 8,027.

Earlier this week, Apple revealed the M2 chip and the two computers that would be the first to use it. And while the MacBook Air saw significant upgrades across the board beyond just the new chip, the equally-priced M2 MacBook Pro did not.

Apple has announced a new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro powered by the new M2 processor.

Apple has announced the M2, the beginning of its second generation of silicon for Mac devices. The chip is slightly larger than the original M1 chip and offers a performance bump in seemingly every category.

Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) kicks off on Monday, June 6 at 10 AM PT and while the keynote usually centers around software, there is reason to believe some hardware will also make an appearance.

According to a new leak, Apple has begun testing four new M2 chip variations in as many as nine total Mac computers. This tracks, as Apple already said the M1 Ultra in the Mac Studio was the last of its current generation of processors.

While the M1 Ultra is the last M1 chip Apple is making, it certainly isn't going to be the company's last ever. A new report alleges multiple new chips in the pipeline as well as a refresh of the Pro Display XDR.

A new report alleges that Apple is developing a desktop computer solution that is designed to sit a step above the Mac mini. Two versions are supposedly in development, with one featuring a chip more powerful than the M1 Max.

A new report alleges that the MacBook Pro that is expected as early as this summer won't use a chip with the "M2" moniker, but instead feature the same cores -- just more of them -- and will be called the M1X.

Even though Apple's new M1 computers are still quite new, the company is reportedly poised to release even newer versions of both its laptop and desktop lines that feature new processors, significantly upgraded specifications, new designs, and more connectivity starting as early as this summer.

The M1 Chip successor from Apple, which is currently being called M2, is looking more likely to arrive in MacBook computers by the end of the year. A new report states that the processor has already gone into mass production and could start shipping as early as July.

In November 2016, I was in a transitional part of my life (I still am) and was considering selling my Leica M2 and switching to a digital Ricoh GR. I listed the camera on several Facebook camera trading groups and the Australian/UK Craigslist alternative, Gumtree. Long story short, I was scammed while trying to sell it.

Did you know that the Statue of Liberty started out as a dull copper color, but turned green over time due to oxidation occurring on the copper skin? The green patina (also called verdigris) can occur naturally or with human intervention on copper, brass, and bronze.

Know what else is brass? The body of the Leica M2 underneath the chrome surface. Photographer Bellamy Hunt used this fact to create a custom DIY special edition of the M2, the "Patina Edition."
