The Magic Keyboard is complemented by Apple’s Touch Bar, an OLED strip that replaces the Function keys to add touch-based controls. The company ditched its problematic butterfly switches for a scissor design, leading to one of the best keyboards we’ve ever used on a laptop. Moving down to the keyboard deck, both units have Apple’s newer Magic Keyboard.
#MACBOOK PRO DIMENSIONS 13 PRO#
Apple’s MacBook Pro screens have always performed superbly, so you should be happy with either of these, although the 16-inch model’s thinner bezels make it appear more modern. Both have a peak brightness of 500 nits, support the P3 wide color gamut, and Apple’s True Tone technology, which matches the display’s white balance to the surrounding ambient light.

The 16-inch model comes in at 3072 x 1920 (226 ppi) with noticeably thinner bezels whereas the 13-inch model is 2560 × 1600 (227 ppi) with fatter bezels. With the bigger screen comes a bigger resolution. However, they’re not radically different in appearance other than their dimensions and weight.

The biggest differentiator is in the screen size: One is 16 inches and the other at 13.3 inches (both diagonal). If you weren’t sure about which version to get, this comparison aims to help you decide. Their differences aren’t quite so wide as seen in years past, although the introduction of Apple’s new M1 chip makes the contest a bit more interesting. In this comparison, we pit the 13-inch model against its bigger 16-inch sibling. The MacBook Pro 16 is still a powerhouse.
