Having to switch from my 2015 MacBook Pro to my current 2017 model, I can anecdotally add that this was not the case. It resulted in a keyboard replacement recall for an undisclosed number of users and in 2017 a refresh that introduced a thin silicone layer that supposedly prevented or minimized the likelihood of having the same problem. And it wasn’t without merit, the butterfly keyboard was notorious for failing due to dust and debris getting caught beneath the keys. When first announced in the 2015 MacBook, Apple’s butterfly keyboard design was met with first, skepticism and shortly after when announced it would be replacing the keyboard on the MacBook Pro line, outright hatred. Why the Beef?Īs someone that spends a great deal of my day typing words on a screen a good, accurate, comfortable, and reliable keyboard is everything. Instead, Apple’s switched to the Magic Keyboard – one with a traditional scissor switch mechanism. But what’s truly noteworthy of this release is what you won’t find in this model – a butterfly keyboard. The new 13-inch MBP starts with a 256GB SSD option upgradeable to a 4TB SSD (for a whopping $1200-sheesh). The new 13-inch MacBook Pro (MBP) now sports a 10 th generation Comet Lake Intel quad-core processors with Turbo Boost speeds of up to 4.1GHz and best of all, storage is now cheaper. If that’s what brought you here, here’s what you can expect from Apple’s latest bread-and-butter laptop. The New 13-inch MacBook Proīefore I go into my tirade about the butterfly keyboard, you’re probably here because this article is partly about the new 13-inch MacBook Pro. With the announcement of the new 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020), we can finally say good riddance to my least favorite Apple design choice – the Butterfly Switch keyboard. From my first Apple computer, the Power Mac G4 Cube, to my current workhorse, a mid-2017 MacBook Pro (no TouchID) I’ve been using Apple products for nearly two decades and have enjoyed them – mostly. I’ve been a longtime fan of Apple’s design ethos and build.
