It’s a few years old now but still performs well for general tasks. It features a 13.3″ 2560 x 1600 IPS Retina Display, 8GB Unified RAM, 256GB SSD, and runs macOS. The M2 has a redesigned case with brighter display, a better webcam, and faster performance, particularly in graphics and video editing tasks. It also comes with 16GB of RAM vs the 8GB on the M1.
