13-inch MacBook Pro with M2 gets the teardown treatment

Apple introduced a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with an M2 processor under the hood at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference. (It was that other laptop the company introduced that wasn't the brand new, redesigned MacBook Air with M2.)

MacBook Air with M2 may launch on July 15
