Noting the addition of the Magic Keyboard, he said: In a press release, Tom Boger, Apple’s senior director of Mac and iPad Product Marketing, focused on the performance, display and all-day battery life.

Worth noting: the graphics support enables the high-end 2.0GHz 13-inch MacBook Pros to drive Apple’s Pro Display XDR at full 6K resolution. MacBook Pro with a dual-core processor will see up to 2.8 times faster performance.Īs for the integrated graphics, they deliver 4K support. The latest quad-core Intel chips in the MacBook Pro offer Turbo Boost speeds of up to 4.1GHz. The company says this means users upgrading from a 13-in. model, and most reviews of the new keyboard design agree the typing experience is much improved compared to the previous design. The newly introduced physical Escape key has also proved popular on the 16-in. MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. It’s based on a more traditional (and more reliable) scissor mechanism that allows 1mm of key travel in use, so it feels comfortable to use. The backlit Magic Keyboard replaces Apple’s ill-starred Butterfly Keyboard design and is already available on the 16-in. Also featured: 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, though the FaceTime camera remains a 720p unit. Much remains the same, so you’ll also find the Touch Bar and Touch ID, Force Touch trackpad, and the T2 chip, which verifies software security and encrypts data (and Touch ID) as you use the system. Retina display delivers more than 4 million pixels and millions of colors, along with 500 nits of brightness and support for the P3 wide colour gamut. In simple terms, that option means you’ll get much better graphics and application performance. Performance is boosted with the introduction of 16GB of 3,733MHz memory as a standard configuration on select models.Ĭustomers can also choose a 32GB memory option, which is a new first for the 13-in.
