Housing and keyboard

As you might guess, the lin­ear dimen­sions and weight of the case remained unchanged — 304.1 x 212.4 x 15.6 mm at 1.4 kg. The lat­ter fig­ure is no longer a record — in the world of Win­dows there are “tri­nash­ki” weigh­ing less than a kilo, and lap­tops with a diag­o­nal of 14 inch­es fit into the same 1.4 kg. Of course, the case of the Mac­Book Pro 13 (2020) is made of alu­minum, and the user is unlike­ly to be able to dis­as­sem­ble it with­out dam­ag­ing the device.

Of course, the biggest new addi­tion to the 2020 Mac­Book Pro 13 is the key­board. The Mag­ic Key­board with the “old-new” scis­sor mech­a­nism has already been test­ed by buy­ers of Air and Mac­Book Pro 16. The rejec­tion of the extreme­ly unfor­tu­nate “but­ter­fly”, which thor­ough­ly tar­nished Apple’s rep­u­ta­tion, clear­ly ben­e­fit­ed lap­tops from this com­pa­ny. Togeth­er with the 65-key Mag­ic Key­board, the Touch Bar and Touch ID work in the lap­top. One of the best track­pads on the mar­ket, the glass Force Touch, also remained in place.

Processor, memory, communications

Every­thing is not easy with the proces­sor con­fig­u­ra­tions of the new “tri­nash­ki”. Note­books with two Thun­der­bolt 3 ports can only be equipped with eighth gen­er­a­tion Core i5 chips, or, option­al­ly, i7 of the same 8th Gen. The new 10nm Ice Lake CPUs from Intel have gone to the much more expen­sive quad-port Mac­Book Pro 13. These are quad-core i5 or i7 proces­sors.

The same “seg­re­ga­tion” is asso­ci­at­ed with RAM. The younger ver­sion received in the “base” 8 GB of RAM, made on a slow LPDDR3 2133 MHz. Lap­tops on new proces­sors have from 16 GB of LPDDR4X 3733 MHz RAM.

Final­ly, Apple in the basic ver­sion of the Mac­Book Pro 13 became gen­er­ous with a 256 GB sol­id-state dri­ve. How­ev­er, the pric­ing of the inter­nal vol­ume is such that for 512 GB you will have to pay 20 thou­sand rubles, so if you want to save mon­ey, buy exter­nal SSDs. In total, the “tri­nash­ka” can have up to 4 TB of inter­nal mem­o­ry. In addi­tion to the already named 5G, which will only work where it is launched, the smart­phone sup­ports almost all the nec­es­sary inter­faces: Wi-Fi ac, Blue­tooth 5.0, NFC and USB‑C.

As men­tioned above, there are two lap­top con­fig­u­ra­tions that dif­fer in the num­ber of Thun­der­bolt 3 (USB‑C) ports — two and four, respec­tive­ly. Of course, each of them can be used to charge or con­nect an exter­nal video card. What pleas­es, the 3.5 mm audio jack remained in place. Of the wire­less inter­faces, the Mac­Book Pro 13 (2020) has dual-band Wi-Fi and Blue­tooth 5.0.

autonomy

The bat­tery has not changed in the new gen­er­a­tion of Mac­Book Pro 13. These are the same lithi­um-poly­mer bat­ter­ies with a total capac­i­ty of 58 (58.2 in a four-port con­fig­u­ra­tion) Wh. The man­u­fac­tur­er claims that the lap­top will last 10 hours on a sin­gle charge when brows­ing the web or watch­ing stream­ing video. A 61-watt pow­er sup­ply is respon­si­ble for charg­ing.
