Pavel Jelic Yesterday afternoon we witnessed the introduction of a new one 13″ MacBook Pro. Many apple enthusiasts expected the new revision to offer "thirteens". larger display in the body of a classic 13″ MacBook, which would also narrow the frames. This situation occurred with a larger one 15" MacBook a few months ago – it turned into a 16″ model that kept the size of the 15″ model. The new 13″ MacBook Pro (2020) thus attracts practically only Magic Keyboard s scissor mechanism, which Apple replaced with the butterfly one.

Considering that our editors live in a free democratic country where every citizen has the right to express his opinion, the opinion was also expressed in the case of the new 13″ MacBook. It doesn't happen often that we disagree on something in the editorial office, and in this case it did it didn't work out otherwise. What are we going to lie about, yesterday's presentation of the new "thirteen" in the eyes of apple fans probably it didn't turn out quite as expected. For most users, the new 13″ MacBook Pro is not new at all, and it should be noted that by changing the keyboard, Apple sympathy apple growers won't get Below you can read a comment from me, as well as a comment from Vráti, who writes for our magazine free app a daily apple summaries.
Comment: Pavel
Personally, I see the new revision of the 13″ MacBook Pro as insignificant and rather i uninteresting. Just a few days ago, we witnessed all kinds of news and leaks about the fact that Apple is going to release a new 16″ MacBook Pro model 14" MacBook Pro, instead of the classic "thirteen". In addition, the 14″ version of the MacBook Pro should fit in bodies of the 13″ model, which would lead to frame reduction and delivery of certain sex appeal and uniqueness - you would be hard-pressed to find a laptop with such narrow frames on the market. Unfortunately, yesterday showed contrary and Apple hasn't outdone itself. He took a practically "finished" product, in which quite expectedly replaced the keyboard. However, I do not take this as a step forward, rather as a necessity. If Apple had not written off the problematic Butterfly keyboard with a butterfly mechanism, it would have pissed off even more "13" users against itself than it has pissed off in the last almost four years.

I make no secret of the fact that I'm from the new smaller MacBook model he really expected a lot. I even waited for him in a way, but I couldn't resist 16″ model, mainly due to the fact that I really rarely carry the MacBook. If I were still a student, I wouldn't have opted for the 16″ model due to portability, and I would have waited with anticipation for the revised and expected 14″ model. However, I did not wait and bought the aforementioned bigger brother. 13″ display with "large" frames, together with the "new" Magic Keyboard would certainly not satisfy me. What about the fact that Apple didn't even dare to install Intel processors in the basic configuration 10th generation, but he reached for the old 8th generation. Only those users who reach for the 10th generation will enjoy it more expensive configuration. Not that the user knows when using a MacBook what generation of Intel processor is "beating" under his hands, but personally I still expect a certain amount from Apple exclusivity and the latest possible equipment possible.

David Hanak In addition, it is not unknown that 13″ models tend to have major problems with overheating and subsequent thermal throttling (overheating of the processor, where the performance of the processor is reduced to allow it to "cool down"). In a way, Intel and its high TDP processors are responsible for these problems, but if Apple does not want to change processor suppliers, then it is necessary to deal with this problem. And we know that it is possible, see what has been announced several times 16″ model, which also has redesigned cooling system. Apple equipped the 13″ MacBook Pro (2020) with the eighth generation of Intel processors, which has s overheating problems, and also the tenth generation, which will have problems with overheating equal if not greater. So what's the point of chasing bigger numbers on paper if the user can't use the full power of the processor for more than a few tens of seconds?
That of course I do not want claim that the 13″ models are unusable machines – I myself have owned this model for several years. However, this is a problem that has been known for several generations - similar to problems with butterfly keyboards. So it takes Apple several years and several generations to fix a problem with the MacBook—that's the idea that I simply don't want to think. And if the Californian giant thinks that it will "seal the mouth" of users with a new keyboard, then at least in my case ugly knits. Personally, I would continue to look at five years old when choosing a 13″ MacBook Pro 2015, or I would simply wait until Apple fixes all the problems with the 13″ MacBook Pro in the next revision, which we will hopefully see this year or next year at the latest. Apple's keyboard "fix" took practically three generations, so hopefully it won't take another three generations to fix it problems with overheating. The upcoming ARM processors could solve it, or a better cooling solution along the lines of the 16″ MacBook Pro.

I was really excited for the launch of the new MacBook Pro and all I needed was a box of popcorn. The entire apple world expected that Apple would come with 14 " laptop from the series Pro which will bring much better performance, a new keyboard and more sophisticated cooling. But this disappeared and many apple growers remained so unsatisfied. But I would like to go back a few months first. As is customary with Apple, we still have a few months before the presentation itself a considerable amount of information, which reveal more detailed information about the upcoming models. If you are interested in news from the world of the Californian giant, you surely know that after the introduction of last year's 16" MacBook Pro, analysts started prophesy the coming of the 14" "through," which will learn from the advantages of the 16" model and after many years will offer a quality laptop of smaller dimensions, which is able to offer breathtaking performance, flawless processing, an advanced keyboard and a number of other features.

Vratislav Holub I do not consider 13" MacBook Pros from recent years to be not revolutionary at all whether professional device. Rather, we had the opportunity to see the sequence sad ones a failed attempts, which did work, but that wasn't it. We were standing at the birth butterfly keyboard, which reported incredible failure rate, laptops had problems with cooling a they overheated with. For this reason, I finally expected a change. According to Apple's reviews, last year's 16" model really did well, so it was logical that the company would rely on this concept again and provide us with a quality machine after five years. Unfortunately, this change did not come. The truth is that we have been waiting for something again greater performance, but in my eyes it is not an interesting or noticeable change. In addition, the latest MacBook Pro only updated the processor for the version with four Thunderbolt 3 ports, while the version with two ports has bad luck and must be content with the processor it was equipped with i last year's model. Another major change concerns storage. The entry model finally offers at least a 256 GB SSD drive.
But what we can really be grateful to Apple for is MagicKeyboard. It's not so much about this novelty, but rather about the keyboard it replaced. The keyboard with the butterfly mechanism was simply a step aside and we can be glad, after several attempts by Apple, that Apple realized the facts and finally replaced it honest keyboard, which is based on a scissor mechanism.

All in all, is this the laptop we were expecting? Apple has once again lost something superior a machine that can certainly serve a number of professionals and satisfy the needs of a wide range of people, but is this what we wanted? As I mentioned at the very beginning, the entire Apple world expected Apple to teaches from last year's 16" version of the Pro model, but that didn't happen in the final. I can praise the new model only for his keyboard. And what will happen to the prophesied 14" MacBook Pro now that the classic "thirteen" has now been released again? A number of various speculations began to spread on the Internet almost immediately. But most of them claim that we will see this desired version still this year specifically therefore in the end of 2020. Of course, this raises a number of questions. Why didn't Apple introduce this model right away? A possible answer is technology. It is possible that the Californian giant is still waiting for a certain component.

Maybe this year we will see a 14" MacBook Pro, in which it will beat ARM processor technology will take care of the Apple workshop and the display Mini LEDs. Such a change in the entire product series would make sense. Both models could be on sale at the same time, while one would offer processor from Intel and the other from Apple. But it seems that we will see such news this year, for now in the stars. The community is divided into two camps. Some still expect the arrival of a Mac with its own processor this year, while the vast majority of others, led by a leading analyst Ming-Chi Kuem, date its arrival to next year. What do you think of the updated 13" MacBook Pro? Do you expect the arrival of the next laptop this year, or will Apple wait until 2021 to introduce it?

I wouldn't go to this computer either. :)) After years, the 13-inch Pro de facto downgraded to a 1,4 GHz processor. This will heat up more every time it works than if it had a base of say 2,3 GHz like the 2017 Pro. So as a result it will turn on the fan more often and the user will be able to regularly enjoy working on a hot chassis . I guess this is something I would expect from the original generation MacBook without Pro in the name. Sure, I can put a high-quality cooling pad under the entire laptop, which will make a noise like a pig, but it will probably cool even the maximum performance, but when working with sound, for example, this computer suddenly becomes unusable. I've already encountered this with the old MBP 13, the one from 2017, when simply when deploying a few more demanding plugins in Logic, the fan starts spinning like a race and the only solution to not mess up work with sound is to wear headphones.
I quote the article: "however, personally, I still expect some exclusivity from Apple and the latest possible equipment possible." Sir, this has not been the case with Apple for many years. How can you still expect that? Apple recycles and milks old models as much as possible. If you want the latest technology, you will unfortunately have to look at the competition. If Xcode is usable on the iPad Pro, it will soon become the only reasonable combination for the Apple iMac + iPad Pro. For those who may need more monitors, then a Mac mini in the highest configuration of the processor + eGPU and, again, an iPad Pro. Apple is crazy about laptops. Even if you take out the money, you can't cool the bag. Is it a coincidence that while Apple is running a hot Cook, MacBooks have overheating problems?
:D :D true story
Evidently, apple has sealed his mouth, because the sheep won't buy anything but apple, right? The processors are outdated (they are slowly becoming exclusive...), the extra charge for new ones is huge. The big problem is that the eighth generation has security holes. For sixty thousand, there are laptops with a core i9, not a core i5. As for the frames, for example Asus zenbooks have them much smaller. Let the sheep open their mouths calmly, but Apple will not really silence their complaints, they will not go to the competition anyway.
