Best case for macbook pro 13 2019 pro#
The display is extremely good and all in all, the MacBook Pro 13 is a great overall package. Apple's official specs suggest a bigger gap, but the actual difference is very small and not noticeable in everyday situations. The performance is slightly lower as well, but we are positively surprised by the smaller MBP 13 to be honest. The only real drawback is the lower number of Thunderbolt 3 ports. The predecessor from 2017 with its dual-core processor is also clearly beaten. What you can notice is the performance advantage over the Apple MacBook Air with its passively cooled processor. The more expensive MBP 13 with two fans can handle around 33 W for longer periods, so the difference is actually pretty small and not noticeable in everyday scenarios. However, we were positively surprised by our tests, because the power consumption is steady at 27-29 W after the initial spike to ~40 W, which is sufficient for 4x ~3.0 GHz. This is also the case for the Core i5-8257U in our test unit, which is advertised with a comparatively low nominal clock of 1.4 GHz. The processor also features a faster iGPU with its own eDRAM cache, but more on that later. In theory, because Apple does not limit the consumption, the cooling performance is the only limitation for the actual performance. In theory, Apple uses 15 W processors for the less expensive MBP 13, while the MBP 13 with 4x TB3 is equipped with 28 W chips. Apple MacBook Review (4x TB3, Touch Bar).Apple MacBook Review (2x TB3, function keys).The more expensive MBP 13 also uses the same chassis (except for two additional TB3 ports at the right side): The case and the ports did not change, so we recommend our previous reviews for more information. We will also compare the device with the slightly lighter MacBook Air, which should fall behind especially in terms of performance. We want to see if the smaller MBP 13 might even be the better choice or if you should consider the premium for the MBP 13 with 4x Thunderbolt 3. However, many other shops often offer these devices from around 1500 Euros (~$1647). Our test unit is the SKU with the Core i5 and 256 GB SSD storage, which retails for 1749 Euros (~$1920) at Apple. On the inside, however, not much has changed, so there are still big differences between the MBP 13 with 4x Thunderbolt 3 and the MBP 13 with 2x Thunderbolt 3. The only visible difference is the number of Thunderbolt 3 ports as well as the designation of the processor. The old model with the physical function keys is gone, and both versions are now equipped with the Touch Bar above the keyboard as well as a quad-core processor. If you visit Apple's website, it looks like the manufacturer simplified the MacBook Pro 13 line-up.
