Andreas Osthoff | December 2020
"The MacBook Pro 13 is very good, but it does not justify the additional price over the Air. We can keep the verdict about the new MacBook Pro 13 with the M1 processor pretty short: It builds on the strengths of the previous iterations and the new processor improves some aspects like the performance, the fan noise in everyday scenarios or longer battery runtime. However, there are still some drawbacks like the limited number of ports or the slow Wi-Fi 6 transfer speeds. All in all, it is still one of the best mobile devices on the market."
