Potential buyers looking to do 3D modeling, game development, video editing, or even heavy-duty photo editing might want to look at the 16-inch model instead (or any number of desktops or Windows laptops, of course). However, as strong as Intel's Iris Pro integrated graphics have gotten over the years, they still don't hold a candle to discrete graphics. They're more than adequate for most Web and mobile design work, too. Maybe this is just a person with a hammer seeing everything as a nail, but to me, this machine's configuration options seem deliberately tailored for Web and mobile app developers. (The last of those storage upgrades costs a bonkers $1,200 over the base 512GB option, so it certainly won't be an option for everybody.) Advertisement You can upgrade the CPU to a 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, the memory to 32GB, and the storage to 1, 2, or 4TB. The four-port config starts with a 2GHz quad-core 10 th-generation Core i5, newer Iris Plus graphics with 64 execution units 16GB of 3733MHz LPDDR4X memory, and 512GB of storage with read/write up to 3GB/s. The cheapest two-port spec comes equipped with a 1.4GHz quad-core 8 th generation Intel Core i5 CPU, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645, 8GB of LPDDR3 memory at 2133MHz, and 256GB of solid-state storage. (The 4-port configurations start at $1,799.) But going to those 10 th-gen CPUs and four Thunderbolt ports makes a big difference. The benefit of the 13-inch MacBook Pro over the MacBook Air is a bit fuzzy at the former's low-end specs. Our review unit has four ports, and that's the one we'd recommend buying to most people who are interested in this device.
