Apple<\/a> (Phil Schiller<\/a>, Hacker News<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Cupertino, California — <\/em>Apple today updated the 13-inch MacBook Pro<\/a> with the new Magic Keyboard for the best typing experience ever on a Mac notebook and doubled the storage across all standard configurations, delivering even more value to the most popular MacBook Pro. The new lineup also offers 10th-generation processors for up to 80 percent faster graphics performance and makes 16GB of faster 3733MHz memory standard on select configurations. With powerful quad-core processors, the brilliant 13-inch Retina display, Touch Bar and Touch ID, immersive stereo speakers, all-day battery life, and the power of macOS, all in an incredibly portable design, the new 13-inch MacBook Pro is available to order today, starting at $1,299, and $1,199 for education.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So much for “continuing both keyboard designs<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n

For me, this model is neither here nor there. The 13-inch MacBook Air has a better trackpad (smaller and therefore more reliable) and keyboard (no Touch Bar). The 16-inch MacBook Pro has a much better display. Why suffer through the “Pro” input methods on the small display?<\/p>\n\n

After five years, Apple’s era of bad butterfly MacBook keyboards is finally over (except for everybody who still has one.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

10th-generation Intel Core processor options are now available, but only on higher-end configurations starting at $1,799. Lower-end configurations still use Intel’s older 8th-generation processors like the previous 13-inch MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n

The high-end configuration can be customized with a 2.3GHz quad-core 10th-generation Core i7 chip with Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
