The 2019 MacBook Pro is a slight improvement from the 2018 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, 9th Generation “Coffee Lake” 2.3 GHz Intel “Core i9″ processor (I9-9880H) as well as 16 GB of onboard 2400 MHz DDR4 SDRAM.
Apple has stuck with the same storage options as the previous model (512 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB) and has reserved dedicated graphics cards for the 15” models. Whilst this model also features 4 USB C ports similar to MVVM2LL/A specs as opposed to the 2 ports featured on the previous non-touch bar 13″ model.
