IIRC, Apple offered (offers? I haven’t checked) the 13” M1 which was based on the previous chassis, then launched the 14/16” on the new one.

Well yes but that new chassis, with magsafe, 3xUSB-C, HDMI, and SD, was launched in 2021, with the M1-based 14" and 16".

The M2-based 13" still has two USB-C on the same side and no SD: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-13/specs/

The comment you replied to says that their MacBook M1 does not have those features.

It does not have an SD card slot not MagSafe because it was a 13” M1 MacBook Pro. Nobody claimed that their MacBook was the latest chassis, just that it had an M1.

> The M2-based 13" still has two USB-C on the same side and no SD

One can easily interpret their comment to say that they are happy it still has USB-C on both sides. Most non-MacBooks have one or two ports, generally on one side only. With the addition of other ports, Apple could have very well removed some of the USB-C ports.

I’m not sure why you are trying to insist that they don’t know their own laptop. They even provided you a link showing the model did in fact exist.

The comment I replied to says that they're drooling over magsafe, sd card, and USB-C on both sides.

My point is that's been available for 18 months at the exact same range position (and a lower price point) as the new laptops.

The updated version of their current laptop doesn't have any of those.

I'm... not doing that?

> They even provided you a link showing the model did in fact exist.

I'm the only person who provided any link here.
