In our MacBook Pro 2020 review, we liked its elegant design, excellent SSD speeds, and great keyboard. We gave it an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars for its solid performance.

The new MacBook Pro in a dead-ringer for its predecessor. It has an all-aluminum build that retains the elegant, familiar appeal of MacBook. Apple fans will be glad to know that the uncomfortable Butterfly keyboard is now replaced with a new Magic Keyboard.

At 3.1 pounds and 12 x 8.4 x 0.6 inches in dimensions, the new MacBook Pro is heavier than its competitors. Both the HP Spectre x360 (2.7 pounds, 12.1 x 7.7 x 0.7 inches) and Dell XPS 13 (2.8 pounds, 11.6 x 7.8 x 0.6 inches) are a good deal lighter. 

In our lab, the MacBook Pro's 10th Gen Intel Core i5 chip didn't disappoint. It scored 4,399 on the Geekbench 5.0 overall performance test. It blew past the 4,171 premium laptop average and beat the HP Spectre's Core i7-1065G7 CPU, which scored 4,074.

On our Laptop Mag Battery Test, the MacBook Pro lasted 10 hours and 21 minutes. That’s longer than the 9:05 premium laptop average.  

Connectivity-wise, Apple outfitted the MacBook Pro with two Thunderbolt 3 ports and a headset jack. 

So if price had you timid about buying the new MacBook Pro, be sure to take advantage of this excellent MacBook deal
