A2251 (EMC 3348 MacBookPro16,2) 2.0 GHz Core i5, A2251 (EMC 3348 MacBookPro16,2) 2.3 GHz Core i7

Background and Identification

In 2020, Apple refreshed the 13” MacBook Pros with updated processors and components. Notably, Apple finally transitioned away from the ingress-prone “butterfly” keyboard and replaced it with a more reliable "redesigned scissor mechanism".

The 13” MacBook Pros fall within two general tiers. This is the higher tier (A2251/EMC3348), which includes:

  • Four Thunderbolt 3 ports
  • 3733 MHz LPDDR4X RAM
  • Intel Iris Plus Graphics
  • 10th generation Intel Core i5 or Core i7 CPU's

The MacBook Pro 13” Touch Bar (2020) is a member of the long line of Apple laptops. It includes notable upgrades from the previous 2019 model. The 2020 13” MacBook Pro sports newer processors, increased RAM in the higher-end tier, and increased storage capacity. Despite these changes, the 2019 and 2020 13” MacBook Pro have a lot in common. Both models have a 13.3-inch retina display (measured diagonally) with a 2560 x 1600 resolution. Both models also have Apple’s Touch Bar, a 10-hour battery life, and a 720 MP FaceTime camera.

A minor difference between the two models is that the 2020 version’s Escape key is no longer part of the Touch Bar. Instead, it is back to being a physical key. Additionally, the TouchID button has been separated from the Touch Bar.

The MacBook Pro 13” Touch Bar (2020) is a thin, rectangular laptop made primarily of aluminum. It has a black keyboard and black borders around the display. The encasing comes in two colors: silver or space gray.
