The 13-inch 2020 MacBook Pro was the first Pro model with Apple’s newly design M1 Apple Silicon processor. Although there were no other changes to the product line itself the performance and battery benefits afforded by the M1 ARM chip were unparalleled. The biggest controversy was that it only supported one external display which stopped a large portion of customer base from upgrading. The 2020 MacBook Pro was announced alongside the MacBook Air with the same M1 chip but had 8 GPU cores as standard. This was an upgrade on the Air.
The final version of the intel based Touch Bar MacBook Pro was unveiled on November 13th 2019 succeeding the 15-inch model. The 2019 16-inch had the largest MacBook Pro screen since the 17-inch unibody model from 2011. Also included were the scissor switch keys from the Magic Keyboard which was a great relief for many. There we no ports changes when compared to the 15-inch 2019 but you could now go up to 64GB of RAM and an 8GB HBM2 memory graphics card.
The 2020 MacBook Pro saw a split in specification for each two and four thunderbolt models. Two thunderbolt port version would net you an updated ‘Coffee Lake’ Processor to the previous model, a 256GB Storage option and a maximum 16GB Ram. However, the Four thunderbolt version would see the implementation of a 10th gen ‘Ice Lake’ Processor, a 4TB Storage option and a maximum of 32GB of Ram. Another big change for this model was the replacement of the ‘butterfly’ keyboard with the improved ‘Magic Keyboard’ mechanism commonly found within Apples ‘Magic keyboard’ accessories range.
The 2021 refresh of MacBook Pro was a huge change from previous models. Alongside the 16-inch the 14-inch was essentially a shrunk down version. Apple normally reduce performance or include lower specification options but this was not the case. You could choose the same M1 Pro or M1 Max SoC. The only performance effecting feature was smaller fans. With more ports, the return of MagSafe and the pushed out bezel screen this was a leap for the MacBook Pro.
Apple announced the redesigned 16-inch MacBook Pro during final event of 2021. Featuring Apple’s new M1 Pro and M1 Max, Apple’s second ARM-based SoCs (system on chip). They also welcomed back ports such as HDMI and SDXC going back on their 2016 philosophy and enabled charging through MagSafe 3. The 16-inch and the accompanied 14-inch both featured a notch on the screen due to the reduced bezel moving across the designed language used in the iPhone.
