This is also the case for the Core i5-8257U in our test unit, which is advertised with a comparatively low nominal clock of 1.4 GHz. The processor also features a faster iGPU with its own eDRAM cache, but more on that later. In theory, because Apple does not limit the consumption, the cooling performance is the only limitation for the actual performance. In theory, Apple uses 15 W processors for the less expensive MBP 13, while the MBP 13 with 4x TB3 is equipped with 28 W chips. Apple MacBook Review (4x TB3, Touch Bar).Apple MacBook Review (2x TB3, function keys).The more expensive MBP 13 also uses the same chassis (except for two additional TB3 ports at the right side): The case and the ports did not change, so we recommend our previous reviews for more information. We will also compare the device with the slightly lighter MacBook Air, which should fall behind especially in terms of performance. We want to see if the smaller MBP 13 might even be the better choice or if you should consider the premium for the MBP 13 with 4x Thunderbolt 3. However, many other shops often offer these devices from around 1500 Euros (~$1647). Our test unit is the SKU with the Core i5 and 256 GB SSD storage, which retails for 1749 Euros (~$1920) at Apple. On the inside, however, not much has changed, so there are still big differences between the MBP 13 with 4x Thunderbolt 3 and the MBP 13 with 2x Thunderbolt 3. The only visible difference is the number of Thunderbolt 3 ports as well as the designation of the processor. The old model with the physical function keys is gone, and both versions are now equipped with the Touch Bar above the keyboard as well as a quad-core processor. If you visit Apple's website, it looks like the manufacturer simplified the MacBook Pro 13 line-up. 3D Printing, 5G, Accessory, AI, Alder Lake, AMD, Android, Apple, ARM, Audio, Benchmark, Biotech, Business, Camera, Cannon Lake, Cezanne (Zen 3), Charts, Chinese Tech, Chromebook, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake, Console, Convertible / 2-in-1, Cryptocurrency, Cyberlaw, Deal, Desktop, E-Mobility, Education, Exclusive, Fail, Foldable, Gadget, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S, Gamecheck, Gaming, Geforce, Google Pixel, GPU, How To, Ice Lake, Intel, Intel Evo, Internet of Things (IoT), iOS, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Jasper Lake, Lakefield, Laptop, Launch, Leaks / Rumors, Linux / Unix, List, Lucienne (Zen 2), MacBook, Mini PC, Monitor, MSI, OnePlus, Opinion, Phablet, Radeon, Raptor Lake, Renoir, Review Snippet, Rocket Lake, Ryzen (Zen), Science, Security, Single-Board Computer (SBC), Smart Home, Smartphone, Smartwatch, Software, Storage, Tablet, ThinkPad, Thunderbolt, Tiger Lake, Touchscreen, Ultrabook, Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR), Wearable, Wi-Fi 7, Windows, Workstation, XPS, Zen 3 (Vermeer), Zen 4
