There is a millimeter of key travel, a more solid and deeper thunk when you slam your finger on the keys, and, most of all, a greater sense that a stray grain of sand won’t break the whole damn thing.
It’s a good trade.Īs with the 16-inch MacBook Pro and the recently refreshed MacBook Air, it’s good.
And the trade-off is, of course, that keyboard. It’s just slightly thicker and heavier than the previous iterations of the MacBook Pro, but the difference is minimal enough that you won’t notice it. (Well, you could certainly complain that the webcam isn’t improved at all.) Fortunately, the speakers, mic, and screen were already quite good, so the only complaint here is that more optimistic rumors didn’t come to pass. This 13-inch MacBook Pro got the new Magic Keyboard but none of those other improvements. That MacBook got better speakers, “studio”-quality microphones, and a slightly larger display in nearly the same body, thanks to smaller bezels. When Apple released the 16-inch MacBook Pro, it changed the hardware in meaningful ways. It is entirely fair to just call this a spec bump, however, even with the new keyboard. That’s to be expected, of course, but I believe these spec bumps add up to slightly more than the sum of their parts when it comes to performance. Compared to my 2017 13-inch MacBook Pro, it feels faster in every way. The model I’m currently testing is the $1,799 version, which comes with the upgraded Intel 10th Gen Core i5 processor, 16GB of faster LPDDR4X RAM, and a 512GB SSD. If what you came here for was to find out if it’s better than the butterfly keyboard, the answer is yes - in every way. It’s the last laptop in Apple’s lineup to be blessed with the redesigned, more reliable keyboard. This book is written in simple and clear terms, with a step-by-step approach that will help you to master your MacBook Pro with 2020 MacOS Big Sur within the shortest period of time.I’ve spent just a couple of days with Apple’s new 13-inch MacBook Pro with the Magic Keyboard, and I’m already impressed. There is a lot to love in Apple's latest MacBook Pro.
