MacBook Pro is refreshed again and features a little magic
Apple have announced that the MacBook Pro has been updated for 2020, giving users access to a refreshed line that doubles the storage, improves the speed and adds a little magic, in the form of the new Magic Keyboard.
Like many other computers lately, the new MacBook Pro has been updated to allow for use with the new Intel 10th gen CPU’s, allowing those who are upgrading from a 13-inch MacBook Pro with a dual-core processor will see up to 2.8 times faster performance. The integrated Intel Iris Plus Graphics deliver up to 80 percent faster performance over the previous generation 13-inch MacBook Pro for 4K video editing, faster rendering, and smoother gameplay. The new graphics also enable users to connect to Pro Display XDR at full 6K resolution.
“Whether you’re a college student, a developer, or a creative pro, the 13-inch MacBook Pro delivers powerful performance, a stunning Retina display, and all-day battery life in our most portable pro notebook. Today we’re adding the new Magic Keyboard, doubling the standard storage, and boosting performance, making the 13-inch MacBook Pro an even better value for our customers,” said Tom Boger, Apple’s senior director of Mac and iPad Product Marketing. “With these updates, our entire notebook lineup features the Magic Keyboard for the best typing experience ever on a Mac notebook, offers twice the standard storage than before, and delivers even more performance.”
As mentioned above, there is a little bit of magic added to the MacBook Pro, thanks to the new Magic Keyboard, which takes the keyboard that was first included on the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Magic Keyboard features a redesigned scissor mechanism with 1mm of key travel for a comfortable and stable key feel, while the new inverted-“T” arrangement for the arrow keys makes them easier to find, whether users are navigating through spreadsheets or playing games. Magic Keyboard also features a physical Escape key, along with Touch Bar and Touch ID, for a keyboard that delivers the best typing experience ever on a Mac notebook.
The new 2020 MacBook Pro 13-inch starts at $1,999 for the basic model, but as you add more storage, ram specs and more, the price increases, you can discover the options here, with shipping to happen later this week.
