Apple MacBook Pro 13.3″: Display

– The 13-inch MacBook Pro models feature a Retina display with 500 nits of brightness, P3 Wide color support, and True Tone functionality. The display has a resolution of 2560 by 1600 resolution at 227 pixels per inch.

– The True Tone feature uses a multi-channel ambient light sensor that’s included in the new MacBook Pro models, which is able to determine both the brightness of the room and the color temperature.

– After detecting the white balance, the MacBook Pro is able to adjust both the color and intensity of the display to match the room’s lighting for a more natural, paper-like viewing experience that also cuts down on eyestrain.

– P3 Wide color support features a greater color range than standard sRBG displays for more vivid and realistic colors.

Apple MacBook Pro 13.3″: Keyboard

– The MacBook Pro uses the same redesigned Magic Keyboard that was first introduced in the 16-inch MacBook Pro.

– The Magic Keyboard does away with the butterfly mechanism that Apple has been using since 2015 as it was riddled with issues that led to key failure due to dust and other small particulates.

– The scissor mechanism in the MacBook Pro’s keyboard offers 1mm of key travel and a stable key feel, plus it uses an Apple-designed rubber dome that stores more potential energy for a more responsive key press.

– The keyboard also features backlit keys controlled by an ambient light sensor to light up the keys in dark rooms.

Touch Bar and Touch ID

– All MacBook Pro models have a Touch Bar, which is a small OLED retina multi-touch display built into the keyboard where the function keys traditionally go.

– The Touch Bar is contextual and can perform a range of different functions on the Mac depending on which app is in use.

– The Touch Bar is a matte-style display that blends right in with the rest of the keys on the keyboard, and in all modern MacBook Pro machines, it supports True Tone, allowing the white balance to be adjusted to match the ambient lighting conditions.

Apple MacBook Pro 13.3″B: Trackpad

– The MacBook Pro has a large Force Touch trackpad that has no traditional buttons and is instead powered by a set of Force Sensors, allowing users to press anywhere on the trackpad to get the same response.

– A Taptic Engine powered by magnets provides users with tactile feedback when using the trackpad, replacing the feel of a physical button press.

Ports

– The entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro models, which are the ones with M1 chips, feature two USB-C ports with support for USB 4 and Thunderbolt 3 for Thunderbolt transfer speeds of up to 40Gb/s and USB transfer speeds of up to 10Gb/s.

– With Thunderbolt 3, the MacBook Pro models can support a single 6K display at 60Hz.

– Apple says that the M1 MacBook Pro is limited to one display up to 6K resolution, but using DisplayPort adapters, M1 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models can run up to five external displays.

– This is only possible when using a mix of 4K and 1080p displays as the Thunderbolt ports do not have the bandwidth to run five 4K displays.
