Product Overview
In May 2020, Apple updated the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the new Magic Keyboard from the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Now featuring up to 10th-generation Intel Core quad-core processors, the MBP-13 includes 16 or 32GB of 3733MHz LPDDR4X high speed memory on upper-end models.
The Magic Keyboard features a redesigned scissor mechanism with 1mm of key travel. There is also a physical Escape (ESC) key next to the Touch Bar and Touch ID.
Apple has also doubled the storage for higher-end models (that employ the 10th-gen Intel Core processors).
Every new MacBook Pro 13-inch comes with macOS Catalina, supporting even tighter integration with other Apple devices, notably the iPad Pro.

Reviewer score 87% (normalized by Neofiliac)The MacBook Pro 13-inch is a mixed update. It fixes the troubled keyboard, but Apple's decision to stick with older hardware for entry-level configurations is a big problem. The MacBook Pro offers you the feeling that you can do anything, but you'll only have the right tools if you opt for the most expensive configurations.
Pros
- Sleek design
- Excellent performance
- Great keyboard
- Great battery life
Cons
- No 4K screen option
- Keyboard still freezes occasionally

Reviewer score 92% (normalized by Neofiliac)The cooling solution of the MacBook Pro 13 did not change this year. Two fans dissipate the heat from the processors with seamless adjustments of the fan speed. The integrated Iris Graphics 655 can only handle very simple games, but the performance is steady after longer gaming sessions. Apple should start to think about a more powerful PSU for the 13-inch model.
Pros
- Slim bezels
- High-contrast display
- Fast Wi-Fi
- Good battery life
Cons
- No Thunderbolt 3

Reviewer score 83% (normalized by Neofiliac)grading the MacBook Pro to a 10th Generation Core i7 costs an additional $200. You can also upgrade the memory and storage amounts, all the way up to 32GB of memory and a 4TB SSD. The upgrades reduce the value proposition even further, with a maxed-out configuration ringing up at $3,600. Many prospective buyers will also want to consider an iPad Pro instead of a Mac laptop.
Pros
- Comfortable keyboard
- Excellent performance
- Good battery life
Cons
- Lacks a Core i7
- No Thunderbolt 3 port
