Apple may offer two CPU options with the upcoming 15-inch MacBook, according to a tweet by renowned market analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Kuo said that the new MacBook was expected to go into production in the first half of 2023, and that it would offer customers the choice between Apple's M2 and M2 Pro silicon.

Along with the two CPU options, will be two different power adapters for the device, a 35W adapter for the M2 model, and a 67W adapter for the M2 Pro model.

Kuo had previously tweeted that the design goal for the new laptop, was to use a bigger display but keep the power requirements, to use the same 30W power adapter as the MacBook Air.
