These MacBook Pros came out just in May, so you get the latest laptops you can possibly get from Apple. While the models differ in storage capacity, they are basically the same in every other way. Both run on 10th-gen 2.0GHz Core i5 Processors and 16GB of RAM, and both have 13.3-inch Retina displays, Apple’s TouchBar with TouchID and four Thunderbolt 3 ports.
We gave the latest 13-inch MacBook Pro a score of 87 thanks to its updated specs, improved battery life and new keyboard. Yes, these laptops use the new Magic Keyboard design, so you no longer have to complain about butterfly keys. You get a much more comfortable and reliable typing experience here, which is a big improvement over previous models. When it comes to battery life, Apple promises 10 hours of life but we came up with 11.5 hours in our tests.
There are not many big deal breakers in the new MacBook Pros. We are not the biggest fans of the TouchBar, but TouchID is a very easy way to log in and authenticate. While four Thunderbolt 3 ports may seem like a lot, you will still live in dongle land if you use peripherals and accessories that require USB A ports, SD cards and so on. Of course, it also goes without saying that the MacBook Pros are too expensive at their normal prices, which is why it is worth waiting for a sale like this to buy one. And now that Apple has improved some key features and put the specs up, these laptops are much easier to recommend.
