If you want one with a 4K screen, beating the Retina display of the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019), the cost rises to $1,379.99 (around £1,140, AU$2,000), pretty much the same price as the entry-level MacBook Pro 13-inch, but with a higher resolution screen and more storage space than Apple’s offering.Īll 13-inch versions come with Touch Bar and Touch ID (Image credit: Future) Design

The Dell XPS 13 comes in a variety of configurations, but a similarly specced XPS 13, with an 8th generation Intel Core i5-8265U processor, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD costs $1,079.99 (around £880, AU$1,600). The MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019)’s biggest Windows competitor is the superb Dell XPS 13, and with Dell’s premium pricing, Apple’s MacBook Pro again looks like pretty good value.

If you’re after absolute power, the larger device is still the one to go for. That means the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019) is a much more affordable laptop, though its specs still can’t compete with the 15-inch version. Meanwhile, this year’s MacBook Pro 15-inch starts with a 2.6GHz 6-core 9th generation Intel Core i7 processor, Radeon Pro 555X with 4GB of GDDR5 memory, 16GB 2400MHz DDR4 RAM and 256GB SSD storage for $2,399 (£2,399, AU$3,499/AED9,999) and increase in price from there. So, the 2019 model actually gets a bit of a price cut at the high end, making it better value. These prices are roughly in line with the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (13-inch, mid-2018)’s prices when it launched last year, with the mid- and top-range laptops costing $1,799 (£1,749, AU$2,699) and $1,999 (£1,949, AU$2,999), respectively. So, for a fully specced-out MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019), you’re looking at $3,099/£3,049/AU$4,699.Īpple's iconic design remains with the new version (Image credit: Future)Īll models come with a Retina display, Touch Bar, Touch ID (for logging on using your fingerprint), and integrated graphics. Storage can also be increasing in increments up to 2TB – though the price rises pretty steeply. If you want to configure the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019) with more powerful components, you can add a 2.4GHz 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor for an additional $300/£270/AU$480, and double the amount of RAM to 16GB for an extra $200/£180/AU$320. Then, there’s a mid-range model that comes with the same processor and RAM, but doubles the amount of storage space to 256GB for $1,499/£1,499/AU$2,299.įinally, there’s a high-end version with a more powerful 2.4GHz quad-core 8th generation processor for $1,799/£1,799/AU$2,699. The base 13-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 1.4GHz quad-core 8th generation Intel Core i5 processor, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645, 8GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory and 128GB SSD storage, and costs $1,299/£1,299/AU$1,999. As usual, there are a number of configurations available, and these can be tweaked to get a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019) that best suits your needs and budget.
