#Apple new MacBook Pro

Apple has refreshed the 13-inch MacBook Pro for 2020 and now comes with a scissor-switch keyboard dubbed as "Magic Keyboard", up to 1TB of storage, and faster performance with up to 10th generation Intel Core i5 processor. Powered by Apple's T2 Security Chip, it provides on-the-fly data encryption, checks software loaded during boot-up, and protect Touch ID information for security. The professional laptop also gets up to 16GB LPDDR4X memory as its standard configuration, up to 1TB of SSD storage, and macOS Catalina for seamless connectivity between other Apple devices. It was bound to happen but we're still very surprised that Apple made a budget Macbook. So, when Apple announced the Macbook Neo, it broke all expectations. We've seen some tell-tale signs in past years -- the iPhone SE, the iPhone 16e, iPhone 17e, Apple Watch SE and now, the MacBook Neo. So, let's break down the Neo and see where Apple focused and where it compromised to make a $599 MacBook that got everyone excited all over again. The mechanical trackpad on the Neo can pass off as a cheaper version of the Force Trackpad on the Air and Pro but if you're a longtime MacBook user, you will feel the difference.
