About this MacBook Pro
The 2020 Apple Macbook Pro M1 13-Inch is Apple’s first introduction of its new 8-Core M1 processor. This is the first Macbook Pro to feature the new processor that was designed and built in-house. The M1 processor has a clock speed of 3.2 GHz and is substantially more energy efficient than its 2019 MacBook Pro Intel predecessors, allowing for up to 20 hours of use with the same battery capacity as previous models.
With the introduction of the new processor, this device does not support Windows emulation. It does, however, feature an integrated 8-Core GPU which shares 8 GB of memory with the system through a Unified integration. The rest of the Macbook Pro specifications match previous models with a 256 GB entry-level storage option and only 2 USB 3.1 ports.
This is a great device for users who are going to be on their feet all day and need a powerful device that can last multiple hours of use without needing to be plugged in. Apple also sells this model as a refurbished MYDA2LL/A. This laptop ushered the introduction of the 2021 M1 MacBook Pro.
This MacBook Pro comes installed with macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 and can be upgraded to the latest macOS. This 13-inch MacBook Pro also measures 0.61 in ×11.97 in ×8.36 in and weighs 3.0 lbs (1.4 kg).

Processor& Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

Memory & Architecture
This MacBook Pro features 8 GB of RAM as standard but can be upgraded to 16 GB at the time of purchase. Unlike the previous Macbook pro lineup, the RAM used on this device is unified with the onboard memory.
Battery Life
The M1 MBP comes with a 58.2 watt-hour lithium polymer battery that provides up to 20 hours of wireless web or Movie use. The longer battery life is achieved by the more energy efficient Apple M1 processor used in this model. Previous generations with the same battery capacity are only capable of achieving 10 hours of runtime.
Upgradability
The MYDA2LL/A MacBook Pro 13 inches can be upgraded from 8 GB RAM to 16 GB RAM on a purchase and is not able to be upgraded further after purchase. This system is unable to run Windows on the “M1” processor due to the licensing issues with Mircosoft. The issue is not a technical limitation from apple’s end and requires Microsoft’s cooperation. However, those who need windows 10 right now on their M1 apple devices can currently run it in a virtual machine environment using Parallels. The dimensions of this device are 0.61 in x 11.97 in x 8.36 in and an average weight of 3.0 lbs (1.4 kg).
