It also charges more for faster memory, perhaps in attempts to sweeten the deal on high-end models. Spec for spec, Apple is upcharging you $200 for the modest jump from 8th-gen to 10th-gen Intel processors. Strangely, it’s the 8th-gen that costs $100 more when similarly configured. Good luck choosing between the 8th-gen Core i7 and the 10th-gen Core i5. That makes configuring a MacBook Pro a complete mess. It instead releases old designs with new processors, like the iPhone SE.
#2012 MACBOOK PRO CHARGER AMAZON UPDATE#
The company tends to update its Macs at a slower rate than other companies, but when a new model comes out, it often has the latest silicon.Īnd I can’t imagine Apple releasing a new flagship iPhone or iPad that uses last year’s processor. This isn’t Apple’s standard practice either. You can get the latest 10th-gen processors in the Dell XPS 13, Surface Laptop 3, or HP Spectre x360, in configurations starting at $1,200 or less. This isn’t what other laptops manufacturers do. Aside from the keyboard, this “new” MacBook Pro is identical to the one it was selling a year ago. That’s until you realize Apple is selling old hardware in a new laptop. The base model starts at $1,299, which sounds like a fair price.
The way Apple prices the MacBook Pro reflects that aspiring hobbyist nature of this laptop. It’s a demographic that includes some of Apple’s biggest fans, and the MacBook Pro 13 shows why. The number of people who actually need professional-level performance is relatively small, while hobbyist graphic designers, YouTubers, music producers, and photographers are a dime a dozen. It’s not a true “pro” laptop - that’s the MacBook Pro 16. The MacBook Pro 13 plays a crucial role in Apple’s lineup.
