It might look the same, but the new MacBook Pro has a 10th-gen surprise under the hood. Question is, is it worth the price?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a slew of MacBook updates in early 2020, it was only a matter of time before Apple gave the 13in MacBook Pro some TLC \u2013 and it did exactly that in May 2020, with the reveal of the new 13in range complete with 10th-gen Intel chipsets, upgraded integrated graphics and, crucially, the Magic Keyboard to replace the universally-disliked butterfly mechanism on older models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That all sounds like great news, then, but it\u2019s only the two higher-tier models of 13in MacBook Pro that have been updated internally \u2013 both the two cheaper options stick with the older 8th-gen Intel chipset and slower RAM, although they do still receive the design tweaks and improved keyboard. Why Apple chose to do this, we can only guess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still, the 10th-gen Intel-enabled MacBook Pro looks to be a big step forward for Apple\u2019s Pro line \u2013 but how does it perform in real life? I\u2019ve spent some time with the latest 13in MacBook Pro, and here\u2019s what I think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Design and build: Same MacBook Pro, new keyboard
\nAs has been the case with the MacBook range for quite some time, the 2020 upgrade isn\u2019t a design overhaul \u2013 but that\u2019s not to say there\u2019s nothing different about this year\u2019s model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s start with the similarities: it comes in the same Silver and Space Grey colour options, and at 304 x 212 x 156mm, it\u2019s roughly the same size as its predecessor. It does admittedly weigh a little more this time around, at 1.4kg compared to the 1.37kg of last year\u2019s model, but that\u2019s not enough of a weight gain to make a difference in everyday use \u2013 most people won\u2019t even notice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
