OUR VERDICT
The MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020) is the most exciting laptop Apple has released in years. The new M1 chip offers exceptional battery life, and in our early testing performance has been excellent. It’s just a shame about the old design.
Two-minute review
The MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020) is the second big refresh for Apple’s smallest MacBook Pro this year, and while the earlier one represented a rather minor specs bump, this new release promises to be revolutionary.
That’s because the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020), along with the MacBook Air (M1, 2020) and Mac mini (M1, 2020), which were also announced at Apple’s One More Thing event on November 10, no longer uses Intel hardware for its processor and integrated graphics, and instead uses the new 5nm M1 chip that’s been custom designed by Apple itself.
The company promises that this new chip allows the new MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020) to perform better, and run longer on battery, than its Intel-based predecessors.
Apple claims the new MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020) is the world’s fastest compact pro notebook (for machine learning, at any rate); up to three times faster than Windows laptops in its class; and 2.8 times faster than the previous generation of MacBook Pro. So Apple is certainly talking a good game with the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020), but does it deliver?
