When listening to a “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” by The Darkness on Spotify, the driving guitars balanced well with Justin Hawkins soaring vocals. The two speakers that flank the keyboard pump out loud and clear sound, with a surprising amount of bass.

The MacBook Pro’s audio continues to be underrated. The 4K XPS 13 scored 0.3 and the 1080p version notched 0.25. The MacBook Pro’s panel has a slight advantage on color accuracy, as it turned in a Delta-E score of 0.24 (where 0 is perfect). The Spectre x360 was a bit behind at 109%. In terms of color reproduction, the MacBook Pro 2020’s screen registered 114% of the sRGB color gamut, while the 4K XPS p version hit 107.5% and 114.8% respectively. In our lab tests, the MacBook Pro 2020’s screen averaged 485 nits of brightness, beating the 4K version of the Dell XPS 13 (301 nits) and the 1080p version (417 nits). I also appreciate that I could work outdoors in direct sunlight and still view incoming Slack messages and Google Docs.

I checked out the trailer for The Boys season 2, and I could make out individual crimson streaks of blood dripping down Homelander’s face. The top bezel in particular is pretty thick, especially compared to the likes of the Dell XPS 13. It’s the same old block of unibody aluminum, which looks and feels solid but uninspired. MacBook Pro 13-inch 2020 review: DesignĪfter seeing the 16-inch MacBook Pro and how Apple slimmed down the bezels, the “new” 13-inch MacBook Pro feels like a step backwards. An upgrade from 16GB to 32GB of RAM costs $400 and you can opt for 2TB ($600) or even 4TB ($1,200) of storage.

The $1,999 MacBook Pro 13-inch packs 1TB of storage. The $1,799 MacBook Pro has four Thunderbolt 3 ports (two on each side), while the MacBook Pro with M1 Chip (Apple Silicon) starts at $1,299 and comes with two Thunderbolt ports. That version includes a powerful 10th gen Core i5 processor along with faster 16GB 3733MHz RAM, plus 512GB of storage. Apple continues to seel the Intel-powered MacBook Pro 13-inch, but it starts at $1,799. The MacBook Pro 2020 had a release date of May 7 and is available through and a number of other online retailers. MacBook Pro 13-inch 2020: Release date and price
