Its SSD storage is only half the speed of the original.
Its SSD, the storage' disk,' only operates at half the speed of its predecessor.
Or dowe still use hard drives where storage capacity is more important than speed.

When SSDs were first introduced to personal computers, the difference was obvious and huge.
Hard drives had long been the bottleneck in computer performance, and SSDs uncorked it in a spectacular fashion.
Adding an SSD to an old computer could rejuvenate it.

I swapped one into an old 2010 iMac, which meant I could keep using it for a decade.
It’s still perfectly usable today.
This allows the M1 iPads to initiate the new multiple-window Stage Manager feature.
The old M1 MacBook Pro gets around 2,900MB/s, while the new M2 only reads at 1,446MB.
Open both computers, and its easy to see whats happening.
While the old version uses two 128GB NAND SSD chips, the new Mac uses a single 256GB chip.
Because those two chips can run in parallel, they can offer more speeddouble, in this case.
The answer is not to buy the entry-level model but to step up to the 512GB version instead.
256GB isnt really enough storage for anyone.
The real answer is not to buy this computer at all.
As we wrote last week, its a legacy, 2016-era MacBook with a new chip inside.
You wont regret it.
