If you've been waiting to upgrade your MacBook Pro until the keyboard was fixed then your time is now thanks to the new MacBook Pro 13-inch 2020.
Design still holds up ;Excellent keyboard;Top-drawer display;Loads of options for RAM, SSD
Low-end models miss out on big internal upgrades;Couldn’t we have some slimmer bezels?;Still no SD card slot

The MacBook Pro 2020 (13-inch) is officially here. Apple finally released its smallest Pro, and after the landmark year the flagship Apple laptop had last year, the MacBook Pro 2020 might be one of the most interesting launches yet – for better or worse.
It's kind of a shame that we didn't get a refresh of the 16-inch model, however. In our brief testing of laptops rocking the new 10th-gen Intel Comet Lake-H processors, we've seen much better performance along with some amazing battery life. Maybe...

The 13-inch MacBook Pro makes it 2020 return, complete with Touch Bar. But there's no larger screen option for this generation, so is it worth buying?
Magic Keyboard is a genuine improvement ; Great screen has all the brightness/colour/resolution you'll need ; Ample power and eGPU options via Thunderbolt
Doesn't move the design forward - where's the 14-inch rework? ; No Face ID login ; No discrete graphics ; So-so battery from 10th Gen configuration ; Pricey configurations
A modest update over the 2019 model, the 2020 Pro does bring a much-needed new keyboard design, but it's not the 14-inch reimagining that many had expected. Still, it's a great workhorse that's the right balance of performance and longevity.

It might look the same, but the new MacBook Pro has a 10th-gen surprise under the hood. Question is, is it worth the price?
Expert review by : Andrew E. Freedman (tomshardware.co.uk)
A new keyboard and refreshed internals keep the 13-inch MacBook Pro going.
Comfortable, clicky keyboard ; Bright display ; Long battery life ; Strong speakers
A pro machine should have more ports ; Some apps still need updating to work with macOS Catalina ; Base configurations use old processors
The 13-inch MacBook Pro is an update that modernizes the MacBook Pro, adding an excellent keyboard and offering long battery life. Just be sure to check that you’re getting a configuration with the newest processors.

The latest 13-inch MacBook Pro features updated processors, a revamped keyboard, and some confusing configurations. So, does it earn in its pro designation?
Industry-leading display ; Thin and light design ; Excellent new keyboard ; Hard-as-rock build quality
Confusing processor choices ; Average battery life

The 13-inch MacBook Pro is the third and last laptop in Apple's lineup to receive an upgraded keyboard, meaning those much-maligned butterfly keys are now a thing of the past. In addition to a pleasant typing experience, the 13-inch MBP brings improved...
Much-improved keyboard ; Bright and colorful display ; Apple doubled the base storage ; Healthy battery life
Bottom side can get hot ; You have to buy at least the $1799 model to get 10th-gen Intel processors ; No discrete graphics option on the 13-inch model ; We still miss USB-A ports and the SD card reader ; Still not feeling the Touch Bar
Expert review by : Dieter Bohn (theverge.com)
We are stunned by how good this laptop is.
Fast ; Intel-based apps work well ; Excellent battery life
Awful webcam ; iOS apps are a whiff ; It’s time to admit Macs would be better with touchscreens
Apple has released a new MacBook Air with its own processor inside, the Arm-based M1 chip. It makes this laptop very fast and runs Intel apps without any significant problems. It also has very good battery life but a bad webcam.
Expert review by : Dieter Bohn (theverge.com)
Although Apple could do better on battery life, it's got a great keyboard and good performance.
New keyboard ; Faster processor on upgraded model ; Nice build quality
Average-at-best battery life ; Average-at-best webcam ; Bezels a little large by current standards
Apple has a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with a Magic Keyboard instead of the old butterfly mechanism. In this review, we test the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 processor version. It runs macOS apps well, but it does better on both battery life and performance...

The 13-inch MacBook Pro gets important, incremental changes
Elegant design ; Solid performance ; Great keyboard ; Excellent SSD speeds ; Powerful speakers
A bit heavy ; Thick bezels ; Battery life could be longer
The MacBook Pro offers double the storage with great performance and the excellent Magic keyboard, but the battery life could be longer.
