According to current rumors, Apple is planning to update the smaller MacBook Pro in May. The 13-inch device could get a larger display with the same casing - similar to the MacBook Pro 16-inch. Now there are new hints about the features.
There is currently speculation that the new MacBook Pro will have a larger display – up to 14 inches. It will also have the new scissor keyboard and the same Touch Bar layout as the 16-inch model. But what does it look like inside? A Twitter user named @_rogame wants to know more about it. The article was already posted on Wednesday and only now by iMore discovered. He explains in his tweet that there will be a MacBook Pro 13-inch configuration that uses a Core i7-1068NG7 quad-core processor that clocks at 2.3 GHz and can reach up to 4.1 GHz. The model was equipped with 32 GB of RAM and a 4 TB hard drive. The interesting thing is that a model with the same specifications was already documented in February of this year. The new i7 processor is said to be a chip from Intel's 10th generation Ice Lake chip series.
Everything points to an imminent MacBook Pro update
This is currently being used in the new MacBook Air 2020, which was introduced in March. Apart from that, the Macbook Pro 13-inch cannot currently be ordered with 32 GB of RAM, so it must be an updated model. In addition, with the introduction of the MacBook Pro 16″, Apple has also added higher RAM storage for MacBooks to its range – up to 64 GB for the MacBook Pro 16″. Accordingly, the new option of 32 GB of RAM for the smaller brother would make sense. The expansion of the storage capacity cannot be ruled out either – in this case 4 TB. Since the MacBook Pro 16″ Users can choose SSD disks of up to 8 TB. The latest discovery is therefore in line with what we have seen and heard so far. Apart from that, there are currently no reports that an update of the smaller MacBook Pro in May This means that anyone who is currently planning to buy a MacBook Pro 13-inch model should wait and watch carefully over the next few weeks – it certainly can't do any harm.
