It’s still a 500-nit Retina display, with a 2560×1600 resolution and support for the P3 wide color gamut and True Tone. The display is the same as before, with the same thick black bezels.

So naturally, when rumors about the successor to the 2019 13-inch MacBook Pro started to appear, it included speculation that the same bezel treatment would be used, creating a new 14-inch MacBook Pro. The bigger display was accomplished mostly by reducing the black bezel surrounding it. 13.3-inch display, not 14 inchesĪpple’s MacBook Pro lineup saw a significant shift when the company released the 16-inch MacBook Pro, whose predecessor was a 15-inch model. The new laptop had no problem making through a regular workday, which involved using different business apps, internet access, and the occasional viewing of an internet video. (We should note that in this situation, instead of setting the display brightness at 150 nits as we usually do, we set the brightness slider in system preferences to about 90 percent.) We tested both the new laptop and the $1,299 model, and both laptops lasted just over 8 hours. To test the battery life, we looped a video until the battery ran out.

For an additional $200, you can upgrade to a 2.3GHz quad-core Core i7 processor, which has Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz. The previous processor was a 2.4GHz quad-core Core i5, but the new processor is based on Intel’s Ice Lake microarchitecture that provides better performance, so the older CPU’s higher clock speed doesn’t mean much. The $1,799 and $1,999 laptops both have a 2.0GHz quad-core Core i5 CPU with Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz and 6MB 元 cache. The new $1,799 and $1,999 13-inch MacBook Pros feature 10th-generation Intel Core processors, and they replace eight-generation processors in their predecessors. I just can’t get myself to remember that it’s there to use for more than just F-key functions. I hesitate to say it’s unnecessary, because I don’t think it’s poorly implemented.
The Touch Bar can be customized for your use, so it doesn’t always have to display app-based options, but even with that I can’t develop a habit of using it. The Touch Bar can be a useful way to use your Mac, but after years of using Touch Bar-equipped laptops (Touch Bar was introduced in 2016), I still can’t get myself to use it on a regular basis. Time will tell in regard to its reliability, but we haven’t had problems with this laptop, the 16-inch MacBook Pro and the new MacBook Air so far. The new Magic Keyboard is much easier on the fingers and the ears-it has a softer, more comfortable feel, and isn’t as noisy. The butterfly keyboard was hard on the fingers, loud, and so unreliable that Apple had to start a Keyboard Service Program for it. Our preference for the new Magic Keyboard was documented in our reviews of the 16-inch MacBook Pro and the latest MacBook Air, and the implementation in the 13-inch MacBook Pro just reinforces what we like about it. It’s now completely gone from Apple’s laptop lineup and it won’t be missed (though Apple does insist that the butterfly keyboard had its fans). With this update, the butterfly keyboard farewell tour is now complete.
The MacBook Air followed suit when it was updated in March 2020, leaving the 13-inch MacBook Pro as the only laptop left with the butterfly keyboard. With the release of the 16-inch MacBook Pro back in November of 2019, Apple started phasing out its much-maligned butterfly-mechanism keyboard in favor of its new Magic Keyboard, which uses a scissor-switch mechanism.
