So, not a huge amount of change in the design of the new MacBook Pro 13-inch, but where Apple has made tweaks, they are noticeable and welcome. Crucially, for creative professionals, it supports the P3 wide color gamut, offering excellent color reproduction. The Retina resolution (2,560 x 1,600) isnвЂ™t the highest weвЂ™ve seen in a 13-inch laptop, but to be honest, a 4K resolution on a 13-inch screen is overkill most of the time, and the Retina display of the MacBook Pro 13-inch (2020) is bright and vibrant. Meanwhile, the screen remains the same as last yearвЂ™s model, which is no bad thing. On the other side of the keyboard, the Escape key is now once again a separate button (rather than included in the Touch Bar), again making it easier to find, and theВ arrow keys are in an inverted-T arrangement now, like on many laptop keyboards, which is a much more intuitive layout. It never failed to read a fingerprint correctly in our time using it.

We find it works a lot better than many fingerprint scanners included in Windows 10 laptops. It makes it a bit easier to find, and it again is a reliable way of logging into your MacBook (or paying for things using Apple Pay) using just your fingerprint. The TouchID button, which also doubles as the power button, has been separated from the Touch Bar, and now sits slightly apart from it. So, while we like the fact that Apple has released two new MacBook Pro 13-inch models for the same price as their predecessors launched at, thereвЂ™s now an even bigger gap between the entry-level model and the regular one вЂ“ so much so that itвЂ™s not really worth considering the entry-level model any more.ДЇor creatives, then, it means you may end up paying a little bit more than you would have in previous years. You can also configure the MacBook Pro 13-inch 2020 with a 10th generation Intel Core i7 processor, up to 32GB RAM (for the first time in a 13-inch MacBook Pro) and up to 4TB of SSD storage. Not only is the leap from 8th generation to 10th generation CPUs going to make a big difference, but this version comes with faster 3,733MHz RAM, compared to the lower-end modelвЂ™s 2,133MHz RAM. This comes with a 2.0GHz 10th-gen Intel Core i5 processor, 512GB of storage and 16GB RAM for $1,799 / ВЈ1,799 / AU$2,999. So, itвЂ™s actually the mid-range model of the MacBook Pro 13-inch that weвЂ™d consider to be the absolute minimum configuration to buy.

While it comes with 256GB of storage вЂ“ up from 128GB with the 2019 model вЂ“ if you really want a cheap MacBook Pro, youвЂ™d be better off getting a slightly older MacBook Pro for less money вЂ“ there really won't be a huge difference in performance. Therefore, we just canвЂ™t recommend the base model of the 2020 MacBook Pro 13-inch for professionals. However, if you buy the cheapest model, youвЂ™re not getting those benefits.

For the launch of the 2020 MacBook Pro 13-inch, Apple made a big deal about the inclusion of 10th generation Intel processors, and the performance benefits they provide. ThatвЂ™s a two-year-old CPU, and as weвЂ™ve said elsewhere on the site, thatвЂ™s just not good enough for a professional-grade laptop. However, we have to take Apple to task here a bit, as the base model comes with a 1.4GHz quad-core 8th generation Intel Core i5 processor. The base model of the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020) starts at $1,299 / ВЈ1,299 / AU$1,999, which, commendably, costs the same price as the 2019 model.
