The Cupertino company has also offered 16GB of RAM in the base configuration along with 256GB of SSD. Further, users can avail up to 32GB RAM upgrade along with up to 4TB of storage.
13-inch MacBook Pro specifications, features
Apple has retained the 13.3-inch LED-backlit IPS display on the new MacBook Pro that was featured on the previous 13-inch model. The display panel has a 2560×1600 pixels resolution that brings a 227ppi pixel density and 500 nits brightness. The base configuration still uses an older 8th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU with a base clock speed of 1.4GHz and boost speed of 3.9GHz, along with 8GB of LPDDR3 RAM and a 256GB SSD. This model features two Thunderbolt 3 ports but now comes with Apple’s Touch Bar as standard.
However, there are notable changes to the premium variant which is priced starting at $1,799. You’ll get a quad-core 10th Intel Core i5 processor clocked at 2GHz (Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz), along with 6MB shared L3 cache and 16GB of 3733MHz LPDDR4X RAM and a 512GB SSD. The RAM can be upgraded to 32GB as well. You get four Thunderbolt 3 ports, capable of driving an external 6K display such as Apple’s Pro Display XDR.
