APPLE Macbook 13 inch M1, 2020

While the new M1 MacBook Pro 13 and MacBook Air have the same processor, there are a couple of differences. The MacBook Air’s base model has an M1 chip with 7 GPU cores, whereas the MacBook Pro ships with an M1 with 8 GPU cores by default. While we tested the base MacBook Pro, we feel the cost of upgrading the storage to 512GB or more is worth it.

The coolest thing about the new M1 chips is that they’re totally integrated, meaning that the chip has the RAM and storage on the chip itself. While that means you can’t upgrade your MacBook down the line, it also means that the communication between the CPU, SSD, and RAM are incredibly fast and are capable of way more than the similarly specced discrete components on Intel-based and AMD-based machines.
