Apple announced the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the new Magic Keyboard. With the arrival of the new laptop, Apple has already updated its three laptops, the two models of MacBook Pro and the model MacBook Air. In the following table we compare the three products to know their similarities and differences.
The first laptop to be updated was the 16-inch MacBook Pro, announced last October and that came to replace the 15-inch model. This 16-inch Pro is Apple’s most powerful model, but also the most expensive. It stands out for being the only model of Apple notebooks to have a decent Intel graphics card, and an AMD card for more demanding jobs.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro It is the model with the most RAM (64GB) possible, it also has up to 8TB of SSD storage and the longest battery life with up to 11 hours according to Apple. The 16-inch model’s processor is also the most powerful, with the option to configure an i9 chip with up to eight cores.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro also excels in sound, offering six speakers with woofer High quality, compatibility with Dolby Atmos and its three microphones have noise cancellation. The 16-inch Pro, like the other two models, has a 3.5mm port.

The 13-inch MacBook Air, recently announced, is the cheapest Apple computer priced at $ 999 and $ 899 for students and teachers. But with the low price, there are also some absences in front of his sisters.
This notebook does not have the P3 color gamut, so it does not make it a good choice for designers or editing professionals. The maximum brightness on the screen is also lower, although only slightly, comparing the 500 nits of the Pro and the 400 nits of the Air. It has a basic graphics card from Intel, it does not have a Touch Bar (although it does have a Touch ID), its RAM memory stays between 8GB and 16GB and its storage is between 256GB and 2TB.
The Air notebook stands out in its affordable price, compatibility with all macOS functions and its portability.
The new 13-inch MacBook Pro has better keyboard, double storage and specification improvements.

Finally, the most recent. The new 13-inch MacBook Pro It arrives with few external changes with respect to its previous generation and all the novelties focus on the interior. The new model has a 13-inch screen with True Tone and P3 color gamut, because it is a professional computer after all.
It offers up to 16GB of RAM and up to 2TB of internal storage. Its battery is 10 hours according to Apple, the shortest among the three models. The 13-inch Pro does have a Touch Bar and Touch ID and also has a more advanced Intel graphics card than the one found in the MacBook Air; however, the 13-inch Pro does not have an option to put an AMD graphics card.
Apple sells a slightly more complete version of the new 13-inch MacBook Pro, but its price also rises. The regular model has 2 USB-C ports and its price starts at $ 1,299. The most advanced model maintains the same specifications except RAM that can be configured with up to 32GB and has four USB-C ports. The price of this model is from US $ 1,799.
