The 2019 MacBook Pro is now replaced by the 2020 MacBook Pro. However, it's still one of the best MacBooks you can own.
This base model MacBook Pro on sale packs a 13.3-inch Retina display, an 8th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD.
As we noted in our MacBook Pro review, we like its great battery life and bright, colorful display. Although we griped about its thick bezels, we gave it an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars for its ridiculously fast performance.
If a stellar display is a priority to you, the MacBook Pro's 2560 x 1600-pixel Retina Display doesn't disappoint. In one test, we watched The Lion King trailer in 4K and could see individual wisps of fur on Simba's paw.
