Perhaps knowing I'd been sitting out in the woods contemplating such things, Apple has now updated the 13-inch MacBook Pro, bringing it much more in line with its other laptop offerings. And when Apple dropped the price on the 13-inch Air back down to $999 (yes, really - $1,099 with the Core i5 option), the $1,299-and-up 13-inch MacBook Pro was feeling like the odd man out. ![]() Neither of them would dare try and charge you more than $1,000 for a measly 128GB SSD. Newer Intel CPUs were available in those other systems. ![]() Both the 16-inch Pro and 13-inch Air recently upgraded from the much-maligned butterfly-style keyboard to the newer Magic Keyboard design - a name now used in laptops, stand-alone Mac accessories and the new iPad Pro keyboard case. In a lot of ways, the 13-inch Pro was always the most practical MacBook to buy - fewer compromises than the MacBook Air, less expensive and more portable than the massive 16-inch (and previously 15-inch) MacBook Pro.īut, that case had been harder to make of late. ![]() That's why I eagerly tore into the new 13-inch MacBook Pro when it landed at the socially distant, wooded retreat I've been hiding out in for the past two months. Even if you're stuck working from home, you can still get caught by the upgrade bug.
