Apple MacBook Pro 2023 is finally here, and it arrives in two sizes — 14-inch and 16-inch — powered by the brand-new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. Apple also refreshed the Mac mini, bringing the same M2 silicon to a desktop form factor at a far more accessible price. Here is everything you need to know about specs, pricing, and what has changed.
Apple MacBook Pro 2023 Specs and Price
The MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2023) starts at Rs 1,99,900 and the MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2023) starts at Rs 2,49,900. Both models ship in Silver and Space Gray.
The 14-inch base configuration packs the M2 Pro chip with 10 CPU cores, 16GB of unified RAM (upgradeable to 32GB), and 512GB of SSD storage (configurable up to 8TB). The 16-inch model steps up with the M2 Pro or M2 Max chip and matching storage tiers.

Display, Audio and Connectivity
Both MacBook Pro models feature a Liquid Retina XDR display with a ProMotion adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz and a peak brightness of 1000 nits. The 14-inch panel resolves at 3024x1964 pixels, while the 16-inch pushes 3456x2234 pixels.
The updated HDMI port on both laptops now supports 8K external displays, a notable step up from the previous generation. An SDXC card slot, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack round out the I/O. Audio is handled by a six-speaker system. Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth.
Charging Options
Apple offers three USB Type-C charger power levels for the new MacBook Pro: 67W, 96W, and 140W. The 140W option enables the fastest charging on the 16-inch model.
Mac mini (2023) — M2 Desktop at Rs 59,900
The refreshed Mac mini (2023) starts at Rs 59,900 with the M2 chip. An M2 Pro configuration is available starting at Rs 1,29,900. Memory options span 8GB, 16GB, and 24GB, while storage choices include 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB SSD.
Ports on all Mac mini models include four Thunderbolt 4 ports, one HDMI output, one Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB Type-A ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. Built-in speakers are included as well.
Mac mini (2023) vs MacBook Pro — Which Should You Buy?
The Mac mini is the most affordable entry point into Apple M2 silicon — ideal for desktop users who already own a monitor. If you need portability, the MacBook Pro 14-inch remains the better choice, especially given its claimed 22-hour battery life and the flexibility of the Liquid Retina XDR display wherever you work.
Both product lines underscore Apple's commitment to the M2 generation, offering significant CPU and GPU performance gains over the M1 family while maintaining the same sleek industrial design that made the previous generation popular.
