There’s a big difference between the two models, one that’s been heightened with this set of updates. Originally the lower-end model didn’t have a Touch Bar, but Apple added it to the low-end model last year. Since 2016, there have really been two different laptops living under the name “13-inch MacBook Pro.” There’s a lower-end model with two Thunderbolt 3 ports (on the left side), and a higher-end model with four ports (two on either side). Apple’s 13-inch laptops seen edge on (top to bottom): iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard, MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro. Yes, this is the one you’ve been waiting for. Perhaps that will happen in the future, but this particular revision is all about adding that keyboard and doing some basic upgrades and tweaks.Īnd it will probably sell well to a lot of people who prefer smaller laptops and have desperately been waiting for a revision of the 13-inch MacBook Pro without that butterfly keyboard. The 13-inch model has not gotten the revamp that the 15-inch model did when it transformed into a 16-inch laptop last fall. It’s the end, at long last, of a disastrous product decision.īeyond the new keyboard, these are very modest revisions to the existing 13-inch MacBook Pro designs. There’s a physical escape key and four arrow keys in the classic “inverted T” shape. It’s the same keyboard, with 65 physical keys with scissor switches and decent travel. There’s nothing new in this laptop’s keyboard compared to that 16-inch MacBook Pro, or the 2020 revision of the MacBook Air. With the addition of the new Magic Keyboard design originally introduced in late 2019 with the 16″ MacBook Pro to this model, all of Apple’s current laptop line is using a traditional scissor-switch keyboard with more travel and presumably more reliability than the “butterfly” keyboard design that took over all Apple laptops between 20. The most important feature of the new 13-inch MacBook Pro is the keyboard. 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020) review: Two laptops, one keyboard
