#2015 13 MACBOOK PRO PRO#
Aside from the higher resolution, you’ll now also get a higher pixel density in the MacBook Pro 14: Roughly 250 pixels per inch (ppi) versus the MacBook Pro 13’s 227 ppi. This larger screen has a correspondingly larger resolution, up from the 13-inch model’s 2,560 x 1,600 pixels to the new laptop’s 3,024 x 1,964 pixels (something that was leaked before the device’s launch). When Apple moved from a 13-inch screen in last year’s MacBook Pro to the 14-inch one in this year’s model, it did so by thinning the bezels around the edge of the display. It’s not just the panel tech that has changed. This display also includes ProMotion, which dynamically changes the refresh rate up to 120Hz when you need it.
It does this by packing in a huge number of tiny LEDs - around 10,000, all told - which allow much better image reproduction while avoiding the image burn-in issues suffered by OLED panels. It was absolutely beautiful when we reviewed the 2021 iPad Pro, and that same tech has now made its way into the MacBook Pro 14.Ĭompared to the LED display in the MacBook Pro 13, the Liquid Retina XDR offers better contrast, higher brightness, and deeper blacks. Mini-LED comes to the MacBook ProĪpple took its iPad Pro up a notch earlier this year when it added a mini-LED screen, something Apple terms the Liquid Retina XDR display. This gives a comfortable typing experience that differs greatly from the old butterfly keyboard and its shallower key presses. For one thing, both MacBook Pro models use the same Magic Keyboard with its scissor-switch mechanism.
While these differences separate the two laptops, they are not dissimilar in every aspect. The bottom of the MacBook Pro 14’s chassis is also a tad flatter than that of the MacBook Pro 13, eliminating some of the slight curvature that was present on last year’s model. The MacBook Pro 13 still contains the Touch Bar, so it might be one of your last chances to get the feature if you really want it. That debate is not likely to last much longer, as Apple seems to have suggested it is moving on from the Touch Bar by omitting it entirely from the MacBook Pro 14. Apple’s touch-sensitive strip has been divisive since its debut in 2016, with some people swearing by it and many others finding it useless. One of the most prominent divergences lies with the Touch Bar. But look a little closer and the differences start to show. Both come in the classic Apple silver and space gray colors, and both are constructed from matte aluminum. A new design for a classic laptopĪt first glance, the MacBook Pro 13 and the MacBook Pro 14 look pretty similar. You can kit the laptops out with more storage and extra memory, and that will increase the prices accordingly. It makes the MacBook Pro 13 a really hard sell.īoth the prices mentioned above are base prices. It starts at $1,299, but most of its features have either been surpassed by the MacBook Pro 14 or can be found on the MacBook Air, which costs $300 less. It might seem weird to read that considering its starting price is $1,999, but it offers so much (especially compared to the MacBook Pro 13) that its cost is actually quite well justified. Right now, the MacBook Pro 14 is far from overpriced. We don’t think many people go into buying a MacBook Pro expecting a low price, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a fair price. One of the most important things to consider when buying a laptop is its price. Read on to find out which MacBook Pro you should buy with your hard-earned cash.
