If you’re looking to get a new MacBook Pro soon, there’s a couple of things you should know. Apple just released two new mac notebooks—a 13 inch air and new 13-inch MacBook Pro. So you want to get more work done, you should get a Pro, right? Well it depends. Let’s take a look.

All of the new MacBook Airs feature 10th generation Intel Core Ice Lake processors. These are 10nm chips that can perform well enough for most tasks. Other than the base dual core, these can handle large workloads and can power through most tasks.

The new 13-inch pros on the other hand are a different story. Taking a look at Apple’s product page for these laptops show a ton of splashy marketing that might make you think these are all brand new chips and more powerful than before.

If you take a closer look, you’ll see that all of the new models have the new scissor-switch keyboard from the 16-inch, which is an awesome upgrade. I personally love the new keyboards. The storage on all configurations has been doubled, which is a nice added bonus.

That is the end of the upgrades for the $1299 and $1499 models. They don’t have newer chips, and are both running intel chips that are two generations older than the Air or new 13-inch models. The 1.4GHz quad-core was released by Intel all the way back in 2018.

The $1799 and $1999 models feature a base 16 Gigs of LPDDR4X RAM at a higher 3733MHz speed, as well as 512GB and 1TB of storage respectively. They also feature Inter's new Iris Plus G7 graphics, which have been shown to perform up to two times faster than the graphics from the 8th generation.

One thing that is unclear is if these base and higher storage configurations feature the higher performing flash storage, but it’s important to note that the higher end MacBook Air will seemingly perform similarly to the $1299 and $1499 models.

So if you’re in the market for a new laptop, you might be better off going for the $1199 Air or saving a few more coins and jumping to the $1799 model.

If you don’t mind going used, Apple’s refurbished store also has a ton of great options which can net you 15 or more % off the original purchase prices, which is honestly a great deal.

As a recap, don’t go for the $1299 or $1499 models of the “”New”” 13-inch, as it just isn’t enough of an upgrade over a Air, and will perform the same as the last generation.
