About this MacBook Pro
This device is a BTO/CTO device that is nearly identical to MUHN2LL/A. We have listed this device separately as it has been configured with an upgraded processor when compared to the base model. This has been done to make it easier to catalog as well as easier to read. The 2019 MacBook Pro is a slight improvement from the previous MacBook Pro model with a smaller storage option and the option for a lower-clocked 13-inch model.
The 2019 MacBook Pro is considered to be a mid-cycle refresh to the MacBook Pro line-up. It features a 14 nm, 8th Generation “Coffee Lake”1.7 GHz Intel Core i7 (I7-8557U) as well as 8 GB of onboard 2133 MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM. Apple has stuck with the same storage options as the previous model(128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB) and has reserved dedicated graphics cards for the 15” MacBook Pro models. While this model also features 4 USB C ports similar to the MVVM2LL/A specs as opposed to the 2 ports featured on the previous non-touch bar 13″ model.
This MacBook Pro comes installed with macOS Mojave 10.14.5 and can be upgraded to the latest macOS (Ventura). This 13-inch MacBook Pro also measures 0.59 in ×11.97 in ×8.36 in and weighs 3.02 lbs (1.37 kg), making it portable enough to fit in your backpack and light enough to carry all day.
