There are only two models of MacBook Pro to choose from, but with a few configuration differences that can make very different machines.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro was refreshed in 2019 with 9th-generation Intel processors, a bigger than ever Retina Display, and the Magic Keyboard.
The large screen, four Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, discrete graphics card, and studio-grade microphones make this an amazing professional laptop. All of this comes at a cost, however, as the starting price for a base 16-inch MacBook Pro configuration is $2,399 (although deals are regularly available).
The 9th-generation Intel processors double performance in several metrics and allow users to connect up to a 6K external display.
This is the only MacBook with a discrete graphics card, and customers can configure it with the AMD Radeon Pro 5300M up to the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M.
There are options up to 64GB of RAM and 8TB of storage. A maxed out 16-inch MacBook Pro could cost up to $6,099.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro was refreshed in May 2020, with two distinct models within that design. All of them gained the new Magic Keyboard, but only the higher-end models gained new processing power.
The base 13-inch MacBook Pro has two USB-C ports and 8th-generation Intel processors. This is essentially the same machine as the 2019 model, with only the Magic Keyboard and storage options changed. The base 13-inch MacBook Pro configuration with 256GB costs $1,299.
The high-end model has four USB-C ports and 10th-generation Intel processors. Customers can configure up to 32GB of RAM and 4TB of storage, maxing out the price at $3,599.
Then there is the option of buying the older 2019 models of 13-inch MacBook Pro, but at the risk of using a Butterfly Keyboard. While you might find a bargain, you're trading for the maligned keyboard and half the internal storage.
16-inch vs 13-inch
2019 Apple Macbook Pro Reviews
Physical size would be the biggest difference here at first glance, but there are major tradeoffs between the two MacBook Pro models. The 16-inch MacBook Pro is the most powerful, portable Mac on the market and offers discrete GPU options and massive storage as well. You'll likely be in the market for this as a video professional or intensive app developer.
The 13-inch wins out when it comes to size and weight alone, giving users a powerful machine that can fit in most situations. The lack of a discrete GPU can be remedied with an external GPU however, due to the Thunderbolt 3 ports.
You'll be spending nearly double just to get in the door for the 16-inch model, so likely users who need this device are already prepared to pay the price. It has not been updated in 2020, therefore it doesn't have the 10th-generation Intel processors. This hardly matters though as the base configuration comes with a 6-core Intel i7 processor at 2.6GHz, and a dedicated GPU.
At a glance, you'll find differences between the two models immediately. The change from a Butterfly Keyboard to the Magic Keyboard is immediately apparent. The physical escape key and inverted arrow keys are most noticeable, the other differences will be found when you start typing. The butterfly mechanisms offer less travel and feel mushy vs the scissor-switch keys.
After the keyboard, the differences become harder to find. Apple didn't do a full processor revision, but did update the top of the line with the latest 10th-generation chipsets. The 2020 model does have double the storage for the same price across the board, which means new customers are better off getting the newer model for memory alone.
Regardless of which model you select, you can save a significant amount of money when shopping for the best MacBook Pro deals this October with AppleInsider promotions.
