The M1 Pro’s 14-core GPU (15 W TDP) outperforms the M2’s 10-core GPU (13.5 W TDP) in sustained GPU workloads, despite the M2’s higher clock speeds. The MacBook Pro 13 M2 is best for coders needing 24GB RAM and 512GB storage in a 1.372 kg body with 17-hour battery life for light development and web tasks. The MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro suits video editors running 4K timelines with its 1TB SSD, HDMI port, SDXC card reader, and 69.9 Wh battery delivering 18+ hours of editing endurance.
