The main upgrade this time around, whether you opt for the 8th Gen or 10th Gen version of the new 13-inch MacBook Pro, is the more reliable Magic keyboard. Although I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I don’t like the TouchBar, beyond changing display brightness and volume levels, I find myself rarely using it. Some apps take advantage of it in ways that make sense, with Adobe’s Creative Cloud suite being the most prominent example, while others ignore it entirely. While I once felt the TouchBar held tremendous potential, at this point, it is what it is. There’s also the question of the TouchBar. Apple did this with the 16-inch MacBook Pro, and the tech giant should do the same with the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Further, while the new 13-inch MacBook Pro’s bezels are small, I would have liked to see them minimized more, allowing for a slightly larger screen. It would be nice to see Apple increase the excellent looking display’s resolution to 4K like most Windows 10 laptop manufacturers have with their devices. I only have two major gripes as far as design is concerned. Its trackpad remains the best I’ve ever used, its sound is excellent, and most importantly, the 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020) is exceptionally durable. That said, the aluminum aesthetic is still incredibly sleek, even when compared to high-end Windows laptops. However, I still would have liked to see Apple spruce up the design in some way, similar to my thoughts about the MacBook Air (2020). While some feel like the MacBook Pro’s design is starting to feel dated, I don’t necessarily adopt that opinion. 2.0GHz quad-core 10th-generation Intel Core i5 processor.2.0GHz Quad-Core Processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz.With this hardware, the upgrade from its 2019 predecessor that also features an 8th-Gen Intel chip, just isn’t worthwhile.
It features a worthwhile hardware upgrade - as long as you opt for the more expensive 10th Gen Intel models (more on this later) - and Apple’s excellent new Magic keyboard instead of the beleaguered Butterfly key mechanism that has been plaguing the tech giant’s laptop line for years.īut it’s also simultaneously disappointing as far as the lower-end 8th-Gen Intel chip configuration is concerned. The new 13-inch MacBook Pro is precisely what I want from an Apple laptop.
