Today I want to take a departure from the usual tech reviews comparing the new M2 Pro and M2 Max to the previous M1 Pro and M1 Max, from comparing to the current batch of Intel, Nvidia and AMD chips. No, today we're looking at a realistic comparison that a real person might actually be looking to do! Most people on my channel keep their laptops for 5 years or more, so today we're looking at the 5 year old predecessor to the 14 inch MacBook Pro: an upgraded 2017 13 inch touch bar MacBook Pro. With the same starting MSRP and product positioning, how much has actually changed in the last 5 years?!
