M2 20% faster than M1
Apple released computers with its homegrown M2 CPUs inside, and Apple fans were flabbergasted. It’s fun to notice that when Apple compares the performance of its M2s against other, older Apple hardware that sported Intel CPUs -- not against the M1 nor against the latest CPUs from AMD and Intel. One spec suggests the M2 is only 20% faster than the M1.
Here is what some tweeted about:

Tom Warren (@tomwarren): If you max out Apple's new 16-inch MacBook Pro M2 Max with 96GB of RAM and 8TB of SSD storage then it's $6,499.
Benjamin Hoppe (@mrbenjaminhoppe): A certified refurbished M1 Pro 14" is now $1,539. Is this a better deal than an M2 Pro? My guess is for most, yes.
Steve Moser (@stevemoser): Agree, I would take a M1 Max Mac Studio over a M2 Pro Mac mini for $2,000.
Benj Haisch (@benjhaisch): What I love about the new Apple M2 Pro release is that my M1 Max MacBook Pro is so good that I have zero reason to upgrade.
Alvin (@sondesix): the wallpaper looks great
Ian Zelbo (@ianzelbo): Biggest news of the day: MacBook Pro now ships with color matching MagSafe cables!
Connor Jewiss (@connorjewiss): You can't convince me this 20-minute, full-production video [introducing the M2] isn't the first third of a full-blown keynote introducing the [VR] headset.
Michael Burkhardt (@tme_michael): M2 Pro Mac mini isn't that compelling. Once you spec it up to 512GB and 32GB ram, you're at the same price as the Mac Studio. You will be getting slower CPU performance with Mac Studio in theory, but overall Mac Studio is better.

I find my Dell Inspiron laptop with 32GB RAM and 2TB solid state drive pretty nifty, and it cost under $1,500.
