They're more than adequate for most Web and mobile design work, too. Maybe this is just a person with a hammer seeing everything as a nail, but to me, this machine's configuration options seem deliberately tailored for Web and mobile app developers. (The last of those storage upgrades costs a bonkers $1,200 over the base 512GB option, so it certainly won't be an option for everybody.) Advertisement You can upgrade the CPU to a 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, the memory to 32GB, and the storage to 1, 2, or 4TB. The four-port config starts with a 2GHz quad-core 10 th-generation Core i5, newer Iris Plus graphics with 64 execution units 16GB of 3733MHz LPDDR4X memory, and 512GB of storage with read/write up to 3GB/s. The cheapest two-port spec comes equipped with a 1.4GHz quad-core 8 th generation Intel Core i5 CPU, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645, 8GB of LPDDR3 memory at 2133MHz, and 256GB of solid-state storage. (The 4-port configurations start at $1,799.) But going to those 10 th-gen CPUs and four Thunderbolt ports makes a big difference. The benefit of the 13-inch MacBook Pro over the MacBook Air is a bit fuzzy at the former's low-end specs. Our review unit has four ports, and that's the one we'd recommend buying to most people who are interested in this device.
