Updated design:
The new 13-inch MacBook Pro received a few design upgrades to set it apart from its predecessor. At the top of the list is the popular Magic Keyboard that was first introduced on the 16-inch MacBook Pro. The keys are re-crafted with a scissor mechanism to allow for 1mm of travel, which translates to a comfortable typing experience. The keyboard also features a physical “Esc” key and touchbar.
The latest MacBook Pro weighs only three pounds so it can be stowed in your bag and carried around with ease. The new design keeps the signature Retina display that offers more than four million pixels and 500 nits of brightness to properly view photos, videos, games, and more. The MacBook Pro pairs bright, detailed visuals with immersive, wide-stereo speakers for a well-rounded viewing and listening experience.
Double the storage, increased memory, faster performance:
Apple has doubled the standard storage from 128GB to 256GB for this latest release. The swift solid-state drives have read speeds up to 3.0GB/s so loading large files is no burden. If you’re working with an extensive library of video or music files, Apple offers a SSD with up to 4TB so you can keep all your media in one place.
The processor and graphics of the new 13-inch MacBook Pro received a huge boost in performance. Apple now offers 10th generation quad-core Intel processors that can be turbo boosted to speeds of 4.1GHz. If you’re making the jump from an older 13-inch MacBook Pro with a dual-core processor, you’ll enjoy speeds up to 2.8 times faster with the new quad-core.
The latest MacBook Pro includes an updated Intel Iris Plus graphics card that grants users visuals up to 80 percent faster. Whether you’re editing video or playing the latest video game, you’ll notice smooth, quick graphics. If you want to further upgrade your setup, the new graphics card is able to support the 6K Pro Display XDR.
In terms of memory, the standard configuration is 16GB of 3733MHz on select models. And for the first time, users can add 32GB of memory on a 13-inch MacBook Pro. For reference, 32GB of memory leads to 50 percent faster editing in Photoshop as opposed to 16GB of memory.
