Now featuring the Magic Keyboard with a redesigned scissor mechanism, the Silver Apple 13.3″ MacBook Pro with Retina Display provides a comfortable and accurate typing experience. The 13.3″ MacBook Pro also features a 13.3″ Retina Display, immersive stereo speakers, all-day battery life, and the power of macOS, all in a portable, compact design.
The 13.3″ Retina Display has a 2560 x 1600 resolution at 227 ppi as well as 500 nits of brightness. It also supports the P3 wide color gamut which allows for more vibrant colors. This ensures true-to-life pictures with realistically vivid details, which are essential for graphic design, color grading, and editing. With True Tone technology, the white balance automatically adjusts to match the color temperature of the light around you for a more natural viewing experience.
The Magic Keyboard on this MacBook Pro has a redesigned scissor mechanism that delivers 1mm of key travel as well as an Apple-designed rubber dome that stores more potential energy for a responsive key press. There’s also a physical Esc key and an inverted “T” arrangement for the arrow keys. The Touch Bar places controls right at your fingertips and adapts to different apps to provide useful functions without having to navigate complex menus or memorize keyboard shortcuts. Replacing the function keys in the top row of the keyboard, the Touch Bar features a Retina-quality display and supports multi-touch input. The power button contains the Touch ID sensor, so you can quickly log into your MacBook Pro using your fingerprint. You can also use Touch ID to make purchases over the web, thanks to Apple Pay. Touch ID enables a quick, accurate reading of your fingerprint and uses sophisticated algorithms to recognize and match it with the Secure Enclave in the Apple T2 chip with “Hey Siri” functionality.
This MacBook Pro is powered by a 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5 Quad-Core (8th Gen) processor that features a burst speed of up to 3.9 GHz, while 8GB of 2133 MHz LPDDR3 onboard RAM helps to ensure smooth multitasking and also allows the computer to quickly access frequently used files and programs. The system memory cannot be upgraded.
For long-term storage of your files, this MacBook Pro is equipped with a 256GB SSD. If you want to add external peripherals, 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports support bi-directional transfer speeds of up to 40 Gb/s, while also supporting 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 and device charging. Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) is built-in for wireless networking, and Bluetooth 5.0 technology will allow you to connect additional compatible peripherals. There is a FaceTime HD webcam.
This Mac comes preloaded with macOS. Updates can be downloaded for free via the Mac App Store. Please check Apple’s website for upgrade eligibility.

Love this MacBook. It works great for my business trips where I’m editing on the go!

Great design, perfect size. Very fast and stable. I suggest getting a dual display docking adapter/station. I still need to install 3D software and games to truly test the graphic card, which was my only hesitation in purchasing this laptop. Also be aware that this is the last Intel chip to be used by Apple, but as history has showed, it might take Apple a few versions to have a rock solid design, so this last Intel version could become a classic.

All the external is perfect for this macbook. Yes, it runs a bit hot but if you use a stand it’s fine. I used to use a macbook air 13″ from way back in 2015 or so. I had no problems with this macbook at all. This new one. However… the trackpad seems to be more sensitive (maybe due to more functions added), so when I am trying to read on pdf or online sometimes it over clicks and does things I don’t want it to do. A fix for me was to turn off trackpad functions that I was not used to in settings. The other thing that has bothered me is that when I made a new Apple ID I booted up the mac, a couple days later it automatically logged me out saying “this person is not active,” when I was clearly still using that ID! I called apple and after a barrage of connecting me to different departments the problem somehow resolved itself as I was able to magically log back in (one of the departments must have messed around with something as I was being passed around). This was frustrating because I didn’t discover the origin of the problem and I don’t know if this will happen again. I also kept getting logged out of my apple ID in itunes whenever I would close my laptop and open it back up. I went into my apple ID and fixed some things with expired payment methods and it seems to work smoothly now, but really?! These minor bugs really annoyed me. I mainly bought this computer for Logic and Final Cut, but I haven’t gotten to fully dive into those programs yet, but so far it seems to run fast and smoothly, which is a huge leap from my old macbook air. Overall I’m satisfied, but at the same time slightly disappointed – especially for what I paid!

What an upgrade from my mid 2012 MacBook Pro!

Upgraded my MacBook Pro to the 32GB RAM, and 1TB hard drive, with the Quad Core Processor. My old was the 8GB, 256G with Dual core. I was told that this would be sufficient to run LR and PS. Short version, that was wrong. YOU NEED 16GB RAM and 512GB Hard drive minimum to run Lightroom and Photoshop. Get a back up drive to store your photos, as well. As I said, I upgraded. I was tired of getting the pinwheel of death every time I moved a slider in LR. This new version is REALLY nice. Have not seen the pinwheel yet, and I have done a couple of aggressive edits. The new keyboard is much improved as far as touch is concerned. Retina screen is beautiful as you would assume, and the controls are gently responsive and easily customizable. If you are shooting full frame big files, get the 32GB RAM and the biggest hard drive you can. You will not be sorry!

It is a powerful laptop — love the touch strip on the keyboard and the large touch pad.

I’m a student and this laptop is perfect for me. Great display, speakers, KEYBOARD, etc. The one downside is the obvious lack of ports, I had to buy a few dongles. (a small price to pay for a great laptop!). I came from a high-end PC I bought a year or two ago, and the MacBook Pro is a far more fluid experience, from the OS to the hardware. 100% would recommend.

I needed to update my MacBook from an MacBook Air. Thought about waiting to buy a M1 once more drivers and apps were updated but decided to get something that was assured to be compatible right away. Very pleased with the MacBook Pro. Doing business with B&H is always a pleasure and this purchase was no exception.

Got this all setup for new user, and handed it over. It charged for a day, and then stopped charging. Tried several other chargers I know were working, and even used the charger that came with this one on another MacBook. It’s not the charger. The MacBook is fried!

Most of the experience is great as a whole, last gen wifi and rudimentary webcam leave some to be desired.

This was my first order from B&H and the whole process was smooth and on time. The product came seal on the box. MacBook Pro mid 2020 working great and I bought it $100.00 cheaper then Apple website store.

Videoconferencing was beginning to tax my older MacBook Pro so I decided it was time to upgrade. B&H had a sale on this model with 10th generation processor, making it hard to refuse over the entry level model. I couldn’t be happier. The display is wonderful, sound outstanding for a laptop of its size, and it runs cool thanks to the upper tier model’s twin cooling fans.

It’s a okay tethering laptop, had to return one due to the keyboard not being connected and a Bluetooth issue.
