Apple has just unveiled an updated 13-inch Macbook Pro with new Magic Keyboard, double the storage, and faster graphics performance.
The Magic keyboard was first introduced on the 16-inch MacBook Pro and added to MacBook Air in March. Replacing the unreliable butterfly switches with the Magic Keyboard, the Macbook Pro features a redesigned scissor mechanism with 1mm of key travel for a comfortable and stable key feel, while the new inverted-“T” arrangement for the arrow keys makes them easier to find. The Esc key is now physical too.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro now comes with double the storage of the previous generation, with standard storage starting at 256GB all the way up to 1TB
All 13-inch Macbook Pros now offer at least 256 GB SSD instead of the previous-generation base model of a mere 128 GB.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro lineup now offers up to 10th-generation quad-core Intel Core processors with Turbo Boost speeds of up to 4.1GHz. Customers who are upgrading from a 13-inch MacBook Pro with a dual-core processor will see up to 2.8 times faster performance. Apple says that “With the latest 10th-generation processors, the 13-inch MacBook Pro delivers up to 80 percent faster graphics performance for 4K video editing, faster rendering, and smoother gameplay.”
The new 13-inch MacBook Pro is now available on apple.com starting from $1,299 (US), and $1,199 (US) for education.
