About this MacBook Pro
The 2020 Macbook Pro MWP42LL/A 13 inch is Apple’s latest refresh of the 13-inch Macbook Pro line-up. This follows the introduction of the new 10th-generation Intel processors which are only available on the MacBook Pro 2020 models. This device comes with an Intel Core i5 running at a clock speed of 2.0 GHz. This can be boosted up to 3.8 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 4 TB of storage at the time of purchase. The 13-inch variants of the 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 very interesting option for anyone looking to use their Macbook Pro for web browsing, admin work, and light processing tasks however people looking for an apple device with more power can look into MacBook Pro MYDA2LL/A.
This MacBook Pro comes installed with macOS Catalina 10.15.4 and can be upgraded to the latest macOS (Ventura). This 13-inch MacBook Pro also measures 0.61 in ×11.97 in ×8.36 in and weighs 3.1 lbs (1.4 kg).
