About This MacBook Pro
The 2020 Macbook Pro 13 inch is Apple’s latest refresh of the 13-inch Macbook Pro line-up. This device comes with an 8th GenerationIntel Core i7 running at a clock speed of 1.7 GHz. This can be boosted up to 4.5 GHz during process heavy usage. In addition to the new processors, Apple also expanded the storage options for this device, allowing users to choose up to 2 TB of storage at the time of purchase.
The 13-inch variants of the 2020 Macbook Pro do not feature a dedicated graphics card but are equipped with an integrated Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 which shares memory with the system. As expected, the new 13-inch line-up also includes the revised Apple scissor keyboard design which improves on issues seen with the previous models. The new scissor design has been brought down from the 16-inch MacBook Pro line-up launched in 2019.
Overall this is a great option for anyone looking to use their Macbook Pro for web browsing, admin work, and light processing tasks. Anyone looking for a more powerful device can look into MacBook pro MYDA2LL/A.
