MacBook Pro 13 2020 - Apple subnotebook sadece gerekli güncelleme ile geliyor
MacBook Pro 15'ten 2019'un sonunda yeni MacBook Pro 16'ya geçişi takiben bu yıl Apple'ın popüler alt not defterinin büyük bir yenilenmesi için büyük umutlarımız vardı. Ancak, sadece yeni Magic klavye yeni 2020 MacBook Pro'ya taşındı. 13, bu yüzden şimdi tartışılan kelebek klavye satışa her MacBook'da değiştirildi.Aksi takdirde, pek çok yeni özellik yok ve sadece daha pahalı MBP 13 SKU, 4x Thunderbolt 3 ile Intel'den güncellenmiş Buz Gölü işlemcileri alıyor; küçük SKU (2x Thunderbolt 3) ise hala eski 8. nesil işlemcilerle donatılmıştır. Test birimimiz Almanya'da 2.129 Euro'luk modeldir, bu nedenle 4x TB3 ile giriş seviyesi spesifikasyonudur (karşılık gelen ABD modeli 1799 $ 'dan başlar). Bu yapılandırma ayrıca 16 GB LPDDR4X-RAM ve 512 GB PCIe-SSD depolama alanı içerir. Apple MacBook Pro 13 2019 4x TB3 incelemesiApple MacBook Pro 13 2018 4x TB3 incelemesi

Vaka - MBP 13 öncekinden biraz daha kalın
Şasi tasarımı değişmedi ve yine de iki renk seçeneği arasından seçim yapabilirsiniz (Gümüş ve Uzay Grisi). Sadece geçen yılın modeliyle yapılan doğrudan karşılaştırma, yeni MacBook'un biraz daha kalın ana birimini gösteriyor. Daha geleneksel bir makas mekanizmasına geri dönen yeni klavye için ~ 0.7 mm'lik ek yükseklik gerekir. Kasa kalitesi hala birinci sınıf. Şimdiye kadar daha ince ve daha hafif rakipler var, ancak yekpare metal konstrüksiyon, kalite ve istikrar açısından hala harika.
Bağlantı - Wi-Fi 6 olmadan MacBook Pro
Liman durumu değişmedi; USB-C konektörlü iki veya dört Thunderbolt 3 bağlantı noktası alırsınız. Test birimimizin işlemcisi Intel'in mevcut Ice Lake mimarisine dayanıyor, ancak Apple hala daha hızlı Wi-Fi 6 standardını içermiyor. Netgear yönlendirici Nighthawk RAX 120 ile standart testimiz, bir Wi-Fi 5 modülü için iyi aktarım hızlarını gösterir.
Web kamerası - Eski 720p FaceTime-HD Kamera
MacBook Pro 13'ün "eski" tasarımı ince çerçeveler içermez, ancak yine de iyi bir web kamerası beklemeniz gerekir. Görünüşe göre FaceTime HD kameranın kalitesi son birkaç yıldır değişmedi. Üreticinin özellikle mevcut ev ofis durumu göz önünde bulundurularak daha iyi kameralar uygulamaya başlaması gerektiğini düşünüyoruz.
Input Devices – Magic Keyboard now in the small MacBook Pro
Keyboard
After both the MacBook Pro 16 as well as the MacBook Air have already received keyboard upgrades, the MacBook Pro 13 is the last product to get the new Magic keyboard. The very shallow, yet very precise butterfly keyboard, which was often criticized for reliability issues over the last couple of years, has now been replaced with a more conventional scissor mechanism. The key travel is 1 mm and the typing experience reminds us of more of the old MacBook models (MY 2015 and older). If you did not like the butterfly keyboard of the old models, you should definitely have a look at the new Magic keyboard.
There are other small improvements like the half-sized arrow keys (easier to locate with the fingers), the dedicated Esc button as well as the slightly separated power button. You once again get the Touch Bar instead of conventional function keys, but you can still debate about the benefit of the small touch display. It depends heavily on the software support, but the Touch Bar is often still more of a gimmick.
Touchpad
The large trackpad has not been changed, but this is no problem. Apple's trackpads have been the benchmark for laptops for many years now if you talk about precision, gliding capabilities and handling. You obviously benefit from the good optimization for macOS and we cannot criticize anything here. The trackpad also works pretty well when you use Windows, and only drag-n-drop commands are limited, but this is more of a software issue.
Display – MacBook still with 13-inch screen
The 16:10 display still has the same specs with 2560x1600 pixels and the subjective picture impression is once again excellent. Contrary to Windows, macOS does not suffer from any scaling issues, either. The brightness is automatically adjusted very gently and we also like the TrueTone feature (automatic adjustment of the color temperature based on the ambient lighting). Compared to the MacBook Air, the IPS screen of the MacBook Pro covers the larger P3 color gamut.
We can detect PWM at a brightness of 75% and lower, but the frequency is extremely high at 113 kHz and should not result in any problems. We cannot notice any backlight bleeding despite the high brightness.

* ... smaller is better
The panel ID differs from the previous model, but the measurement results are basically identical. The brightness reaches more than 500 nits and the contrast ratio is excellent at 1600:1. Our measurements with the professional CalMAN software and the X-Rite i1 Pro2 spectrophotometer reveal very accurate colors out of the box, so an additional calibration is not really necessary. Similar to our review unit of the MacBook Air, we once again measured a much higher maximum brightness when we used Windows (>600 nits).
Both the small sRGB gamut as well as the larger P3 gamut are covered completely, so the display is also suited for picture/video-editing. You will only have to use an external monitor if you require the wider AdobeRGB color gamut.

The display backlight flickers at 113600 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 75 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 113600 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8715 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
The viewing-angle stability is excellent. The MacBook also performs pretty well outdoors, despite the glossy surface. The display is not as reflective as many competitors, so you can also work pretty comfortably in bright environments.
Performance – MBP 13 with Intel Ice Lake
The new MacBook Pro 13 2020 (4x Thunderbolt 3) is available with two different Intel processors: a Core i5 and a Core i7. Both chips are equipped with the same iGPU, and only the maximum core clock differs slightly. Customers can also choose between 16 and 32 GB RAM, as well as storage sizes from 512 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB, and even 4 TB. The large SSDs are obviously a big advantage over many rivals, but you will have to pay Apple a lot of money in return: The biggest spec of the 13-inch MacBook Pro retails for 4,379 Euros (~$4,900).
Processor – Ice Lake does not really improve the performance
Similar to the smaller MacBook Air, Apple uses custom Intel processors, which are exclusive for the MacBook and can be recognized with the "N" in the model designation. The Core i5-1038NG7 has a higher TDP rating of 28 W compared to the regular mobile chips, but this value does not really matter in Apple devices anyway. Apple does not restrict the power consumption of the processor, which means the performance of the cooling solution is the only restriction for the CPU performance. We can see a slight improvement for the 2020 model: While the previous model managed to cool ~33 W, the new model now handles ~35 W.
This is where the good news stops though, because we can once again see that Intel still has some problems with its 10nm process. While the old Core i5-8279U ran at around 3.3-3.4 GHz at 33 W, the new Core i5-1038NG7 only manages 3.3 GHz at 35 W. The per-MHz performance of Ice Lake is a bit better, so the result is pretty similar with a small advantage for the new model. However, this is only noticeable in the benchmarks, but not in practice. The CPU performance is definitely no reason to upgrade from the previous model. The performance is not reduced on battery power.
Still, we have to be fair and the processor performance is ahead of the competition. This is mainly due to the cooling solution, but we don't know why Apple had to use custom CPUs from Intel to be honest. The "regular" Core i7 in the larger Surface Laptop 3 15, for example, is only marginally slower. We are also eager to see more laptops with AMD's new Ryzen processors; the Acer Swift 3 with the Ryzen 7 4700U is about 20% faster.

System Performance
The subjective performance impression of the MacBook Pro 13 is excellent. Thanks to SSD storage, sufficient RAM, and the fast quad-core processor, all your inputs are quickly executed and there are no noticeable delays, either. The PCIe-SSD is also a fast model with maximum transfer rates of around 2400 MB/s. There are even faster drives out there, but you won't notice the differences in practice.
We performed the synthetic PCMarks with Windows 10. The latter runs very well with the BootCamp drivers, but the performance still depends on the drivers you get from Apple. The comparatively low scores are not representative of the real performance or performance impression, respectively.

GPU Performance – Iris Plus Graphics G7
The Ice Lake processor is equipped with the Iris Plus Graphics, which takes care of all the graphics calculations. It is the faster G7 version with 64 EUs. The performance is on the expected level, but the higher TDP classification is no advantage over the Windows rivals. Compared to the Iris Plus Graphics 655 (with eDRAM cache) of the previous MacBook Pro 13, the performance is about 30-40% higher.
The sustained performance is definitely an advantage, because neither the 3DMark stress test (Fire Strike) nor our The Witcher 3 loop (here with medium preset) shows a performance drop. Still, the MacBook Pro 13 is not great for gaming. Older titles are usually playable, but hardly with high settings. More modern titles are definitely limited to the lowest settings and resolution.

Emissions – MBP is usually silent in practice
System Noise
The cooling solution with the two fans has not changed and the MacBook is usually silent when you only use simple applications. When the fan is running on the lowest setting, you can only hear a quiet murmur when you hold your ear directly next to the device. The fan behavior really depends on the CPU load. When we only stress the integrated GPU (like with the Unigine Valley benchmark, for example) it takes a couple of minutes before the fans will even start spinning. It gets much louder when you stress the processor. Medium workloads, including gaming, usually result in around 36 dB(A), and up to 42.1 dB(A) is measured under maximum load. Our measurement results are therefore pretty much identical to the previous model. We did not notice any other electronic sounds like coil whine.

Temperature
The 13-inch MacBook Pro (4x TB3) is still uncritical when it comes to the surface temperatures. The metal chassis hardly warms up at all during light workloads and the heat is concentrated to the rear portion of the base unit under load. Up to 40.7 °C is nothing to worry about and there are no limitations for the handling of the device.
The processor consumption levels off at around 33 W during our stress test, so the performance is still pretty steady in extreme scenarios. The processor runs at 4x 2.3-2.4 GHz in this case, but the Windows tools cannot detect the core clock of the iGPU reliably.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 40.7 °C / 105 F, compared to the average of 35.9 °C / 97 F, ranging from 21.4 to 59 °C for the class Subnotebook.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 39.4 °C / 103 F, compared to the average of 39.4 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 24.2 °C / 76 F, compared to the device average of 30.8 °C / 87 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 27 °C / 80.6 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.3 °C / 82.9 F (+1.3 °C / 2.3 F).

Energy Management
Power Consumption
The idle power consumption is slightly higher than before, but the results are very similar under load. We can detect a maximum consumption of 65.2 W under load, but this will level off at around 57 Watts. The provided 61 W PSU is therefore just sufficient, even though there is not much headroom (for the charging of the battery, for example).

Battery Runtime
We were quite surprised that the Wi-Fi runtime was a bit longer than the video runtime of our test unit. Both results, however, are still very good at 12 and 11.5 hours, respectively, and the MBP 13 also beats the rivals. If you use the maximum brightness, the Wi-Fi runtime will drop to around 7.5 hours.

Verdict – MacBook Pro 13 is better with the new keyboard
The 2020 MacBook Pro 13 is pretty much just a mandatory update, because it was the last MacBook with the old butterfly keyboard after both the MacBook Pro 16 and the MacBook Air already received an update. The switch to the Ice Lake processor is not really noticeable for the user to be honest. You get more GPU performance, but the CPU performance is pretty much unchanged. You can clearly see Intel's problem when you compare the results with the new AMD Renoir processors.
However, the MacBook Pro 13 still has an advantage over many other subnotebooks when it comes to the performance, because there is no big drop even under sustained workloads. The new Magic keyboard with the longer key travel will probably attract more customers. If you have avoided a new MacBook because of the keyboard, you should definitely try the new model.
The MacBook Pro 13 with the new keyboard should please more customers and it is also a better overall product than the predecessor. However, you have to pay a lot of money and accept the miserable repairability.
We expected more ahead of the launch to be honest (especially the switch to the rumored MacBook Pro 14) and there have not been any real advancements/innovations over the last couple of years, but the MacBook Pro 13 is a very good laptop nevertheless. The great unibody chassis and the excellent display are still two highlights. The rating also benefits from the new improved keyboard, but all of this comes at a steep price, because our review unit is very expensive at 2,129 Euros (~$2,382).
