The new 13-inch MacBook Pro is a confusing proposition from Apple. We called it a "half update" in our first impressions, and I stand by that. But it's also an important update that gives photographers and video editors a lot more performance bang for their buck—as long as they're willing to spend $1,800 or more. Let's dive in.
If you're a photographer considering a new 13-inch MacBook Pro, there are lots of reasons why you should go with the higher-tier model, but Apple just gave you one more. Over the weekend, the price to upgrade the RAM on the base-model from 8GB to 16GB went up from $100 to $200.
Earlier this week, Apple released the latest iteration of the 13-inch MacBook Pro. And while the update came with some very welcome additions, many felt that it was a half-step: a refresh rather than a redesign, like we saw with the 16-inch MacBook Pro earlier this year. Now that we have one in hand, we tend to agree.
Ever since Apple unveiled the impressive 16-inch MacBook Pro, we've been waiting for a "14-inch" variant that brought similar improvements to the smaller size. Today, Apple (sort of) delivered that update—and although it's till a 13-inch computer, it benefits from a lot of important updates under the hood.
