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).

Screen Size and Resolution

A 13.3″ Widescreen Retina display high resolution (2560×1600) LED-backlit widescreen is the only screen type and resolution available for this model. The screen supports a brightness rating of 500 nits and features True Tone technology.

Processor& Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

This MacBook Pro comes withMacOS 11.0.1 (20B29) and runs on a 3.2 GHz Apple M1 processor with no Turbo Boost capabilities. This device does not have a dedicated GPU but does feature an integrated 8-core GPU that shares memory with the system.

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).

Common questions

Is MYDA2LL/A the same as A2338?

Not exactly. MYDA2LL/A usually points to a specific retail configuration, while A2338 identifies the broader Apple hardware family. Always check the EMC and model identifier too.

What MacBook Pro is model A2338?

A2338 is the Apple A-number shown for this MacBook Pro family. Use the order number, EMC, and model identifier on this page to narrow the exact configuration.

What does EMC 3578 mean?

The EMC number is another Apple hardware identifier. It helps separate closely related models that may share a similar name, year, or A-number.

Can the RAM or SSD be upgraded?

Check the spec table for the exact configuration. Many newer Apple Silicon Macs have memory and storage integrated into the board, so RAM and SSD upgrades are often not practical after purchase.

What macOS versions work with this model?

Use the model identifier, release year, and processor family from the spec table when checking macOS compatibility. Compatibility can change as Apple releases new macOS versions.

Is this MacBook Pro still worth buying used?

It can be, depending on price, battery health, memory, storage, and condition. Compare this exact order number and model identifier against similar Techable listings before buying.

How much is this MacBook Pro worth?

Value depends on RAM, storage, battery health, cosmetic condition, accessories, and market demand. Use the SellMac path on this page for a quote or use the identifiers here when comparing resale prices.

What should I search if this page is not the exact configuration?

Search the order number first when available, then compare the A-number, EMC, model identifier, year, chip, RAM, and storage. The same A-number can cover more than one configuration.
