Gurman has suggested a new base model MBP will be among 5 new macs releasing this year, but there are still no details on it. In the absence of any info my current guess:
  • Same 14" design as the just-released MBP (helps to differentiate from the new MacBook Air)
  • Maybe a little thinner than the high end 14", smaller battery, smaller speakers, etc
  • Mini LED but no ProMotion
  • Magsafe, 2x Thunderbolt ports and headphone jack (no 3rd thunderbolt, HDMI or SD card slot)
  • Standard M2 chip (4/4/10 configuration) and single cooling fan
  • Black screen Bezel and keyboard (helps differentiate from the new MacBook Air)
  • Same 8GB/ 256GB starting configuration, $1,399 starting price (+$100 for mini LED)
