The rumor mill had already predicted it and now it's official. Apple announced a new MacBook Pro 13" today via press release.
After the large MacBook Pro 16" was updated in November 2019, followed by the MacBook Air in March 2020, it is now the turn of the smaller MacBook Pro. The device also appears with a revised keyboard based on the scissor technology. This is said to be significantly more reliable than the butterfly keyboard. The arrangement of the touch bar is the same as that of the MacBook Pro 16". The display remains at 13" - Rumors had previously promised 14", but this did not happen. Unlike the screen, the reports about the performance have come true. This has been doubled in the course of the update. This means that the MacBook Pro 13" can be equipped with up to 32 GB of RAM. There is also an SSD hard drive that can offer up to 4 TB. The maximum configuration includes a quad-core Intel i7 processor of the 10th generation, which clocks at 2.3 GHz and allows a turbo boost of up to 4.1 GHz. While the high-end version of the new MacBook Pro 13" costs around 4,379 euros, the starting price is a total of 1,499 euros. In the press release Tom Boger, Senior Director of Mac and iPad Product Marketing at Apple, describes the device as follows:
