The new MacBook Pro 13-inch is here, with faster processors, better memory and a much-improved keyboard.
There are few things more guaranteed than getting a new MacBook Pro every year, and 2020 is no different. After the landmark year the flagship Apple laptop had last year, however, the MacBook Pro 2020 might be one of the most interesting launches yet.
For a bit of background, we did see a MacBook Pro 2019 that followed much in the footsteps of earlier models – incremental hardware upgrades, same chassis, same awful Butterfly keyboard – but 2019 didn’t end there. In November 2019, Apple launched the MacBook Pro 16-inch with an all-new keyboard, narrow bezels and probably the best speakers ever to exist in a laptop.
These improvements were initially limited to the 16-inch model, but now most of them have come to the newly announced 13-inch MacBook Pro. That means that the amazing Apple Magic Keyboard has found its way to the more accessible MacBook Pro, along with faster memory and new 10th-generation Intel processors.
So, because there’s a lot of information to know about the MacBook Pro 2020, we went ahead and gathered everything together in one place. Be sure to keep this page bookmarked, as we’ll add any new information that surfaces – especially if we hear word of a new 16-inch MacBook Pro.
The MacBook Pro 13-inch was announced on Monday, May 4, and the first shipments appear to be scheduled for Thursday, May 7, although some higher-end configurations won’t deliver until a later window: May 18 to May 20. Since the MacBook Pro 16-inch launched in December – taking place of the 15-inch laptop – this 13-inch version may be Apple’s last major Pro update for 2020.
