The new 13-inch MacBook Pro (MBP) has been updated with a brand spanking new keyboard, more storage, and faster performance.

First speculated to be a 14-incher that would follow the update made on the then 15-inch MBP to the 16-inch version that came out this year, the 13-inch MBP retains its size and form factor with a few upgrades here and there.

First introduced on the 16-inch MBP and added to MacBook Air in March, the Magic Keyboard is now also equipped on the 13-inch MBP. This brings a better typing experience and a physical Escape key, along with Touch Bar and Touch ID.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro also got plenty of upgrades on the inside. Keeping up with the times, the 13-inch MBP lineup now offers up to 10th-generation quad-core Intel Core processors with Turbo Boost speeds of up to 4.1GHz. Anyone upgrading from a 13-inch MacBook Pro with a dual-core processor will see up to 2.8 times faster performance.

There’s also an integrated Intel Iris Plus Graphics for up to 80 percent faster performance over the previous generation. This well help in 4K video editing, faster rendering, and smoother gameplay. The new graphics also enable users to connect to Pro Display XDR at full 6K resolution.

It now also comes with twice the storage of the previous 13-inch MBP. Standard storage now starts at 256GB all the way up to 1TB. For pro users, there’s even an option to go up to 4TB SSD.

Additionally, 16GB of faster 3733MHz memory is now offered as a standard configuration on certain models. And for the first time on a 13-inch Mac notebook, customers can choose a 32GB memory option.

Pricing and availability

Starting at US$1,299/ SG$ 1,899 and US$1,199/ SG$ 1,749 for education, the new 13-inch MacBook Pro is available to order today on apple.com and in the Apple Store app. It will begin arriving to customers and will be in select Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Resellers later this week.

Computex 2026

Here’s all the RTX Spark notebooks announced at COMPUTEX 2026

We got notebooks from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and MSI.

There’s been much ado about the NVIDIA RTX Spark. By now, you’ve probably heard a lot about the upcoming reinvention of PCs. But, as a regular consumer, it’s hard to visualize just how this revolution looks like. Thankfully, in NVIDIA’s demo suites, a few manufacturers got to showcase their take on an RTX Spark notebook. And all of them are coming out in the fall.

ASUS ProArt P14 and P16

Unfortunately, none of these brands could share comprehensive details about their laptops beyond a promise for raw power. All of these models aren’t the final version yet.

However, just from what we can tell, these notebooks do feel different from the standard fare of laptops today. For one, they are deceptively heavier. Though all of the OEMs promise a much thinner profile, they’re either packing a lot of tech inside or are using denser materials for their chassis. But again, these are engineering units, so who knows how heavy these things will actually be?

Secondly, based on NVIDIA’s demos, they can do a lot of heavy lifting. NVIDIA says that these superchips are meant for developers and creators, but gamers will also find joy in their performance. DLSS 4.5, in particular, feels like a true revolution in terms of graphics.

Thankfully, fall isn’t too far away. If you can wait, the next evolution of PCs is just around the corner.
