Apple MacBook Pro 14 2023 review: The M2 Pro is slowed down in the small MacBook Pro

After the launch was postponed last fall, Apple has now finally presented the upgraded versions of the MacBook Pro models. At the heart of the new models are, of course, Apple's own M2 Pro and M2 Max SoCs, which are said to offer significantly more performance in terms of both the processor and the graphics card. At the same time, fast 6 GHz WLAN networks (Wi-Fi 6E) are now supported and, according to Apple, battery runtimes are better than before. The prices have also increased by around US$150.
Our review device is the MacBook Pro 14 with the fast M2 Pro (12 CPU cores & 19 GPU cores), which is available with 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD from US$2,499.00. Our model even has 32 GB of RAM and a 2 TB SSD installed, which is why the price here rises to US$3,299.00. As Apple only introduced the basic design in the 2021 models, no changes to the case or the input devices have been made. For more information, we refer to our previous reviews:

Case - Apple makes no changes
We can keep things short in regard to the case, as there have been no changes since the 2021 model. The aluminum case is still of extremely high quality, but the shape of the case makes the 14-inch model (in particular) look very bulky, although it isn't any higher in direct comparison with the tapered units of the competition. Depending on the position, the raised front edge may prove to be problematic when typing, as the edge quickly presses into the wrists. The MacBook Pro 14 is once again available in Silver or Space Gray and both variants are not particularly sensitive to dirt.
The only visual change concerns the MagSafe cable, where the connector is now in the same color as the case. But the cable itself is still white, even in the Space Gray version.
Equipment - MacBook Pro now with HDMI 2.1
There are also only minor changes to the connections - the HMDI output now supports HDMI 2.1 instead of 2.0. Apple even goes a little beyond the standard here and allows users to connect a 4K display at up to 240 Hz (8K with 60 Hz). With the M2 Pro, a maximum of two external monitors can be connected alongside the integrated display (2x 6K 60 Hz via Thunderbolt or 1x 6K 60 Hz via Thunderbolt and 1x 4K 144 Hz via HDMI). With the M2 Max, up to four external monitors can be connected.
SD Card Reader
According to our measurements, the card reader is now slightly faster when copying, achieving a transfer rate of 181 MB/s with our Angelbird AV Pro V60 reference card. According to AmorphousDiskMark, the maximum read speed is 208 MB/s.

Communication
A disadvantage of the 2021 MacBook Pro models was the comparatively slow WLAN connection, as only 80 MHz connections were supported. The new 2023 models now finally support Wi-Fi 6E in addition to Bluetooth 5.3, and we were also able to connect to the 6 GHz network of our Asus reference router without issue. The transfer rates are among the best we've seen so far, so the new MacBook Pro 14 is more than twice as fast as its predecessor (provided a suitable router is used).

Webcam
Apple continues to install its well-known 1080p webcam, but the quality of recordings has increased slightly in some scenarios thanks to the improved image processing of the M2 Pro. A pity, however, that the MacBooks still do not support Face ID or Center Stage.

Maintenance
Maintenance options are still very limited. Ultimately, only the two fans can be cleaned. All components are soldered and can neither be upgraded nor individually replaced (in case of a defect). Compared to the predecessor, the heat sink has become somewhat smaller.
Warranty
Apple continues to deliver the MacBook Pro 14 2023 with a one-year warranty, but in Germany, of course, the statutory warranty of 24 months applies. This may differ in other countries, so buyers should double-check before purchasing.
Optionally, the warranty can be extended with Apple Care+. In the US, for example, buyers have the choice between annual coverage (unlimited until cancelled) at US$99.99/yr or three years of coverage at US$279.00. These prices may also differ in other countries and other currencies.
Input Devices - Good keyboard, perfect trackpad
As for the input devices, we also refer to our review of the predecessor. The keyboard offers a good typing feel, but in comparison with high-end business laptops, there is room for improvement here. On the other hand, Apple still offers the best keyboard backlighting, which is regulated automatically and very well by a sensor. No Windows laptop can match this.
The large trackpad continues to set standards in terms of functionality and operation, as the implementation in macOS also works excellently.
Display - Mini LED panel at 120 Hz
The mini LED panel also remains unchanged, but this is not a problem either. The subjective picture quality is simply outstanding and thanks to 120 Hz, moving images are displayed very smoothly. Furthermore, Apple is clearly the pioneer when it comes to implementing HDR. While you usually have to activate HDR mode manually on Windows devices, it works automatically here. For example, as soon as a corresponding YouTube video starts, the panel then benefits from the higher brightness.
In normal SDR mode, the brightness in the center of the screen is exactly 500 cd/m², so Apple has calibrated it very well. The black level of the mini-LED panel is just 0.02, which results in an extremely high contrast. In practice, the automatic regulation of brightness and color temperature is extremely practical. The notch above the display is still not particularly pretty, but functionally there are no more problems here and the display area next to the notch is superimposed on the normal 16:10, so you have more space for menu elements compared to other 16:10 panels.
After we criticized Apple for only specifying the HDR brightness in the technical data for the last model, this has now been corrected. The HDR brightness is still specified as 1,600 cd/m² or 1,000 cd/m² for full-screen images. We measured a maximum of 1,481 cd/m² on the new MacBook Pro 14 2023 and 1,082 cd/m² on an almost completely white image.
While Apple's technology prevents backlight bleeding or halos, you can still see clear blooming on dark backgrounds with bright objects, such as the mouse pointer. A small bright cloud appears around the bright object.

* ... smaller is better
The display's factory calibration is very good and there are no major deviations from the P3 reference color space, neither in grayscale nor in color. A subsequent calibration is therefore not absolutely necessary, even if the color temperature is slightly too cool. As with the previous Pro models, we were unable to calibrate the display and thus cannot provide a profile at this point. The P3 color space is completely covered.
The mini LED display continues to use PWM for regulating brightness. This is measurable over the entire brightness range in normal SDR mode and uses a very high frequency of 14.88 kHz. This should reduce the amount of people affected by flickering. Even if we increase the brightness via the Vivid app, the brightness is controlled through PWM. At maximum brightness with Vivid, on the other hand, the frequency shifts to an even higher 40 KHz. The amplitude (i.e. differences in brightness) per change is relatively high.
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 14880 Hz | ≤ 100 % brightness setting | |
≤ 500 cd/m² brightness | |||
The display backlight flickers at 14880 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % (500 cd/m²) and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 14880 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. Flickering occurs even at high brightness setting and may have an effect on the user during everyday use. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8627 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |
Measuring the exact times of the display's response times is difficult due to the PWM control and we can only thus give an approximation. The progress curve in the black-on-white test is curiously odd. Here, the brightness increases in several steps and is only "normal" at reduced brightness. The measured values are more in the lower midfield and cannot keep up with fast OLED displays.

Unfortunately, the weather forbids us from take outdoor photos under bright skies or in sunshine at present, which is why we are using previous photos from the MacBook Pro 14 2021 for the time being. Basically, the MBP's display is not as reflective as most Windows devices, and the good brightness and extremely high contrast ratio naturally also help here. As long as you can avoid direct reflections, the MacBook works well in bright environments. If you need more than 500 nits of brightness, you can also use the Vivid app, for example, which allows you to achieve ~1,000-1,100 nits in full-screen mode, even in SDR mode. The viewing angle stability of the mini LED panel is also very good.
Performance - M2 Pro with more efficiency cores
The new M2 Pro- and M2 Max SoCs are improved iterations of the previous chips and are manufactured in an improved 5 nm process (N5P), but nothing has changed in the basic architecture. The M2 chip, introduced together with the MacBook Air last year, already hinted as to where things were going. The number of performance cores is the same, but there are two additional efficiency cores (4 in total). The MacBook Pro 14 also continues to be offered as a slimmed-down model with 6 performance cores and a 16-core GPU, while the full M2 Pro with 12 CPU cores (8P + 4E) is standard only in the large MacBook Pro 16.
The following increases in surcharge from the basic model (US$1999.00) were calculated according to the official prices listed in Apple's online store in the USA. Differences in price (and thus surcharge) may be smaller or greater in other countries or at other online retailers.
SoC | CPU cores | GPU cores | RAM | surcharge |
---|---|---|---|---|
M2 Pro | 4 efficiency cores & 6 performance cores | 16 | 16 or 32 GB | |
M2 Pro | 4 efficiency cores & 8 performance cores | 19 | 16 or 32 GB | US$500 |
M2 Max | 4 efficiency cores & 8 performance cores | 30 | 32, 64 or 96 GB | US$1,100 |
M2 Max | 4 efficiency cores & 8 performance cores | 38 | 32, 64 or 96 GB | US$1,500 |
As with the last generation, CPU performance is almost identical, but the new M2 chips now support single-core boost. The efficiency cores reach a maximum of 2,424 MHz and the performance cores a maximum of 3,264 MHz in multi-core operation. In single-core operation, the P-cores are able to reach up to 3,504 MHz on the M2 Pro and even up to 3,696 MHz on the M2 Max.
The big difference between the M2 Pro and M2 Max is once again the integrated graphics card, which now also has significantly more cores. Moreover, Apple has increased the maximum possible size of the shared RAM to 96 GB. Despite the increased base price, the upgrades have also become more expensive. The RAM prices in particular are considerable: an upgrade from 16 to 32 GB RAM will set you back US$400. So if you want the M2 Max, you'll have to pay US$1,100 more than the basic model. The surcharges for the SSDs also remain extremely high (for example, US$200 from 512 GB to 1 TB), considering that a fast PCIe 4.0 SSD in M.2 format is already available for around US$120. For a MacBook Pro 14 2023 in maximum configuration with the M2 Max, 96 GB RAM and 8 TB SSD storage, the final price is US$6,798.98.
Processor - M2 Pro with 12 CPU cores
The M2 Pro in our review device offers an efficiency cluster of 4 cores and two performance clusters of 4 cores each, so a total of 12 cores and 12 threads. In the old M1 Pro with 8 P cores, we measured a consumption of 27 watts and 31 watts for the CPU cores at full load. In the new M2 Pro, the CPU now consumes 34 watts, although the internal powermetrics utility no longer displays the package power. Based on pure CPU consumption, we see a 25% higher consumption under maximum load. The efficiency of the new SoCs will be discussed in further detail in a separate article.
In short, Apple has been able to increase performance. In native benchmarks such as Cinebench R23, single-core performance is now around 7% faster than the old M1 Pro/M1 Max and 4% faster than the M2 in the MacBook Pro 13. Geekbench shows an 11% lead over the M1 Pro, while the M2 is practically on par. Single-core consumption has increased from around 4 watts to around 6-7 watts.
In the multi-core tests, we see a 20% lead over the M1 Pro, which Apple also advertises. The lead over the normal M2 processor even almost reaches 70% here.
In native Cinebench R23 tests, the new M2 Pro also easily keeps the Intel Core i7-12700H in check when running at 64 watts, like in the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro. However, the Core i7 still has a slight advantage in the single-core test, but when you consider that the performance core of the Core i7 needs around 23 watts for this and the M2 Pro just a little more than 6-7 watts, this is very impressive. The new MacBook Pro 14 also clearly outshines the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor in the Razer Blade 14.
Cinebench R15 Multi Sustained Load
Although the results in Cinebench R15 are not representative, since the benchmark has to be emulated, the multi-loop still gives a good indication of CPU performance under sustained load. Here, the MacBook Pro 14 does not show any weaknesses and can easily maintain its performance without issue.
This also applies to battery operation, where CPU performance remains completely stable (even at low battery levels, consumption only drops to 3 watts at 3%). More CPU benchmarks are available in our tech section.

System Performance
The new MacBook Pro 14 M2 is an extremely fast and responsive machine, but this was also the case with the predecessor and you won't notice any difference between the two versions in everyday use. Performance is about 12% faster in the cross-platform CrossMark test, and performance is also excellent in the browser benchmarks.
For the sake of completeness, we again include the results of the PudgetBench tests for Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro, but the tests only run with the emulated Intel version of the applications. But if you start the applications for Apple Silicon, the speed advantage is immense and the Adobe apps run really well on the MacBooks. Basically, the Apple SoCs do an excellent job in image and video editing.

Storage Devices
The 2021 models of the MacBook Pro were already equipped with fast PCIe 4.0 SSDs, but the new base model with 512 GB memory is said to be equipped with only one storage device, which has a negative impact on performance. We will test this ourselves shortly, but the 2 TB model of our review device has no speed problems whatsoever: at over 6.5 GB/s in reading and around 7.7 GB/s in writing, the drive is extremely fast. After the first start-up, the user still has 1.97 TB available. Further SSD benchmarks are listed here.

Graphics Card
The new graphics unit of the M2 Pro offers either 16 or 19 GPU cores clocked at a maximum of 1.4 GHz. The power consumption of the GPU also increases somewhat, but the difference is significantly lower at 25 watts compared to the previous 22 watts (M1 Pro 16C GPU). As with the normal M2 processor, the GPU has once again become more efficient: the performance increase in the benchmarks is around 25% compared to the M1 Pro, while the gap to the M1 Max with 24 GPU cores is just 11-18% (depending on the test).
Compared to Nvidia GPUs, the M2 Pro GPU with 19 cores falls very much between an RTX 3050 Ti (50 watts) and an RTX 3060 (95W) and is on par with the Radeon RX 6600M (80W), which again is an excellent result given the low consumption of 25 watts. Graphics performance remains completely stable both under sustained load and in battery mode.

Gaming Performance
Gaming is slowly becoming more interesting on the Mac as there are now more games that run natively on the M1 and now M2. This includes, for example, Resident Evil Village, which runs perfectly smoothly on the MacBook Pro 14 with the M2 Pro in 1080p at maximum details (between 60-90 FPS), which can be clearly seen from the demo sequence in the following video. In addition, we carried out the usual benchmarks of emulated games, which also ran properly. However, we had some difficulties with the Crossover programme (which can be used to run Windows games) in connection with Steam, and so we have not been able to run Witcher 3 or GTA V so far.
In the emulated games Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Total War: Three Kingdoms, the new M2 Pro is also about 25% ahead of the old M1 Pro and around 15% behind the M1 Max with 24 cores. In Borderlands 3, the lead is slightly smaller at 11-16%.

Emissions - MacBook always quiet in everyday use
Noise
The 2023 model of the MacBook Pro 14 is also an extremely quiet device in everyday use and the two fans are often completely deactivated. Apple continues to use a very defensive fan curve, allowing the chip to reach 100 °C before the fans kick in. As a rule, this is more than sufficient for withstanding long load peaks without fan use. Under load, however, fan speeds always fluctuate a little. We would have preferred an steady noise here.
The first two fan speeds (up to 2,800 rpm) are practically inaudible at a maximum of 26 dB(A) at normal sitting distance. We measured between 33-36 dB(A) both under pure CPU load (multi-core) as well as during gaming (RE Village) and a maximum of 43.2 dB(A) in the stress test, whereby the value quickly leveled off at 39-40 dB(A). The maximum fan speed of 6,800 rpm is now higher than in the predecessor and at this level the fans roar at a loud 52 dB(A), which we could only trigger manually. No other electronic noises were detected.

Temperature
The metal case practically does not heat up at all when idling and under low load. Under load, however, it remains the case that the central keyboard area in particular gets very warm at more than 45 °C and this is also noticeable, for example, when gaming (the temperatures here are comparable to the stress test). On the underside, the metal case remains noticeably cooler at just over 40 °C and you can place the MBP 14 on your lap under load free of concern.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 46.9 °C / 116 F, compared to the average of 36.9 °C / 98 F, ranging from 21.1 to 71 °C for the class Multimedia.
(±) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 41.7 °C / 107 F, compared to the average of 39.2 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 21 °C / 70 F, compared to the device average of 31.3 °C / 88 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 30.5 °C / 86.9 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.8 °C / 83.8 F (-1.7 °C / -3.1 F).

Stress Testing
The results of the stress test surprised us a little because CPU performance is throttled significantly when the CPU and GPU are simultaneously placed under load. For stress testing, we used the native applications 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress Test and Cinebench R23. At the beginning of stress testing, the total consumption of the M2 Pro jumped to 47 watts and both components had ~23 watts at their disposal, but after only 1-2 seconds, total consumption was limited to 34 watts. Here the GPU is clearly favored and works with a full 25 watts, while the processor only works with about 8 watts.
We suspect that Apple has put this restriction in place so that performance on mains and battery power is identical. As we will see later, our review device consumes around 100 watts at the beginning of the stress test and a little more than 70 watts later on. Of course, the 70-Wh battery is unable to provide 100 watts.
Speakers
The MacBook Pro 14 continues to use 6 speakers that produce very good sound. In our analysis, the 2023 model performs slightly worse than its predecessor, but you can't tell the difference without a direct comparison to the old one. Perhaps this is simply due to a small change in the software. Nevertheless, the MBP 14 remains the 14-inch notebook with the best speakers, and is only just surpassed by the larger MacBook Pro 16.

Power Management - MBP 2023 with more stamina
Power Consumption
Compared to its predecessor with the M1 Pro, Apple has been able to reduce the idle consumption slightly. In view of the high resolution and the brightness of 500 cd/m², the maximum value of 11.5 watts is very good. However, we measured up to 24 watts in HDR mode. Under load, on the other hand, not much has changed - we measured a short-term maximum of just under 100 watts, which quickly leveled off at 72 watts. The supplied 96 watt power adapter is therefore sufficiently sized.
