Apple MacBook Pro 2019 Overview

Build and Design

Apple has kept the design of the 13-inch MacBook Pro the same for years. It looks elegant and premium with a solid unibody aluminum chassis. But, it does have chunky bezels unlike new laptops of 2020.

The 13-inch Macbook Pro is as minimal as it comes. There are two Thunderbolt 3 ports on the left side and a headphone jack on the left.

You can charge the laptop via one of the Thunderbolt 3 port and use the other one for peripherals. But the new 2019 model with 2.4Ghz i5 processor does come with 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports.

Then we get dual speakers that flank the keyboard and for as long as we know, these have been the best speakers on any laptops.

The 2019 Macbook Pro has the 4th-gen Butterfly keyboard which somewhat fixes the reliability problems that the keyboards of previous 13-inch MacBook Pro suffered.

About the touchpad, it is large and works well as all of the previous MacBook Pro’s.

Touch ID and Touch Bar

Touch ID sensor and Touch Bar made their way to entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro since 2019. Touch ID makes it easy to unlock your Mac with a single press without needing to enter a password.

Touch bard could be interesting or a gimmick for you based on your preferences. But, you no longer have the option to save a bit of money and go for a model without the Touch Bar on 2019 versions.

Display

It includes a 13.3-inch IPS Retina display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution, along with P3 color gamut support which is essential for accurate colors for photographers and digital creatives. It also comes with Apple’s True Tone technology which alters the colors of the display according to the ambient light you’re working in.
