Wi-Fi 6 isn't widespread yet, but it surely will be well before this laptop's life cycle is over. Unfortunately, this laptop doesn't support Wi-Fi 6-an unfortunate omission given that these laptops should be built to last, and Apple's new mobile devices have it.

In terms of other specs, the MacBook Pro has a 720p front-facing camera (which seems a little weak for this price, to be honest), and it supports Bluetooth 5.0. That's a step-up for this device, but that GPU is getting a little long in the tooth, and Apple seems to have stopped selling a more expensive, more powerful alternative from Blackmagic.Īll that is to say that as long as graphics performance is not your main priority, the 13-inch MacBook Pro offers plenty of configuration options to you. The current version of macOS supports external GPU solutions, and Apple sells one in its own store from Blackmagic Design that includes a Radeon Pro 580 GPU with 8GB of GDDR5 memory. Potential buyers looking to do 3D modeling, game development, video editing, or even heavy-duty photo editing might want to look at the 16-inch model instead (or any number of desktops or Windows laptops, of course). However, as strong as Intel's Iris Pro integrated graphics have gotten over the years, they still don't hold a candle to discrete graphics. They're more than adequate for most Web and mobile design work, too. Maybe this is just a person with a hammer seeing everything as a nail, but to me, this machine's configuration options seem deliberately tailored for Web and mobile app developers. (The last of those storage upgrades costs a bonkers $1,200 over the base 512GB option, so it certainly won't be an option for everybody.) Advertisement

You can upgrade the CPU to a 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, the memory to 32GB, and the storage to 1, 2, or 4TB.

The four-port config starts with a 2GHz quad-core 10 th-generation Core i5, newer Iris Plus graphics with 64 execution units 16GB of 3733MHz LPDDR4X memory, and 512GB of storage with read/write up to 3GB/s. The cheapest two-port spec comes equipped with a 1.4GHz quad-core 8 th generation Intel Core i5 CPU, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645, 8GB of LPDDR3 memory at 2133MHz, and 256GB of solid-state storage. (The 4-port configurations start at $1,799.) But going to those 10 th-gen CPUs and four Thunderbolt ports makes a big difference. The benefit of the 13-inch MacBook Pro over the MacBook Air is a bit fuzzy at the former's low-end specs. Our review unit has four ports, and that's the one we'd recommend buying to most people who are interested in this device.
