HIGHLIGHTS:-

  • Apple has updated the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Magic Keyboard.

  • The 13-inch MacBook Pro now features 10th-gen Intel processors.

  • it comes with support for up to 4TB SSD storage.


Apple is doubling down on the Magic Keyboard with its implementation on the entire MacBook range. Apple is updating the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the Magic Keyboard, along with improvements on the performance front with the latest 10th-generation Intel processors. Not much has changed with the 2020 edition of 13-inch MacBook Pro, but at least the infamous butterfly keyboard has officially been killed for good. The 13-inch MacBook Pro will be available at a starting price of Rs 1,22,990 in India and $1,299 (roughly Rs 98,300) in the US. The orders are now live in the US.


The butterfly mechanism keyboard caused Apple to face countless criticism, which included flak from some revered users of MacBook Pro. Apple began phasing out the butterfly keyboard last year with the 16-inch MacBook Pro, followed by the 2019 version of MacBook Air. The Magic Keyboard has also been launched for the latest iPad Pro models, along with support for trackpad in the iPadOS 13.4. The entire MacBook line-up has bid goodbye to the butterfly mechanism keyboard now.


The 13-inch MacBook Pro now has 10th-generation quad-core Intel Core processors with Turbo Boost speed of up to 4.1GHz. Apple says the refreshed 13-inch MacBook Pro will offer performance 2.8 times better than the previous-generation 13-inch MacBook Pro with a dual-core processor. It also comes with the new Intel Iris graphics that is claimed to offer 6K resolution on the Pro Display XDR when connected. The standard version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro comes with 16GB of 3733MHz memory while the top variant can be customised with a 32GB RAM option. The base model also has 256GB SSD, which is said to offer the sequential read speeds of up to 3.0GB/s. The top variant has 4TB SSD storage.

Continuing with its series of announcements of product updates, Apple Monday announced a 13-inch MacBook Pro with the new Magic Keyboard, double the storage and 10th-generation processors starting Rs 1,22,990. The device also offers faster graphics, 16GB of faster 3733MHz memory, 13-inch Retina display, Touch Bar and Touch ID with immersive stereo speakers and all-day battery life.


Announcing the product, Apple’s senior director of Mac and iPad Product Marketing Tom Boger said: “We are adding the new Magic Keyboard, doubling the standard storage, and boosting performance, making the 13-inch MacBook Pro an even better value for our customers."


The new Magic Keyboard features a redesigned scissor mechanism and 1mm of key travel along with the inverted-“T” arrow keys that are easier to find and better for everything from spreadsheets to games. Like the 16-inch MacBook Pro that first featured the new Magic Keyboard, this too offers a physical Escape key, along with Touch Bar and Touch ID.
