Apple has launched an all-new 13-inch MacBook Pro in India. Unlike the 16-inch MacBook Pro, which was launched in India in November last year, the 13-inch MacBook Pro for 2020 is essentially a hardware spec update to its predecessor. The biggest update however comes in the form of the keyboard. Unlike the last-generation 13-inch MacBook Pro, the new 13-inch MacBook Pro comes with a scissor-style “Magic” keyboard.
With the launch of the 13-inch MacBook Pro for 2020, Apple has officially discontinued its much maligned butterfly keyboard.
Apart from that “important” keyboard revision, the new 13-inch MacBook Pro looks exactly like the old 13-inch MacBook Pro. Down to the number of connectivity ports as well as Apple’s hallmark Touch Bar. As is customary, the new 13-inch MacBook Pro packs faster hardware and 2X the storage across models. Though, it seems India isn’t getting the highest-end models as far as Apple’s website listing is concerned. The 13-inch MacBook Pro for 2020 can go up to 10th-generation quad-core Intel Core processors with Turbo Boost speeds of up to 4.1GHz, up to 32GB RAM, and up to 4TB SSD storage.
