You will probably never hear the fan at all in everyday usage scenarios, and it usually takes about a minute before the fan starts spinning under load.

The new MacBook Pro 13 with the M1 processor is a quieter device in general and the fan is not running as often as before. The fan is identical to the previous MBP 13 (2x TB3), so we were obviously eager to find out if there are any differences in terms of fan noise. You might also experience some graphical issues, like we did wen we tested Total War: Three Kingdoms. Once there are native games for macOS with the M1 processor, we expect a significant performance bump. Other titles (like Borderlands 3, Shadow of the Tomb Raider) work, but they have to be emulated. The MBP 13 M1 has no problems with iOS games. The graphics adapter in the new iPad Air 2020 is also clearly beaten. The OpenCL performance on the other hand is comparable to the new Intel Xe Graphics (96 EUs) from the current Tiger Lake generation. Our MacBook Pro 13 also passes the 3DMark Wild Life stress test without breaking a sweat.ĭedicated graphics cards like the GeForce MX350 are easily beaten and the M1 iGPU is just 24 % behind the mobile GeForce GTX 1650 Ti. The synthetic benchmark performance is pretty much identical to the MacBook Air with 8 GPU cores and roughly 5-10 % ahead of the MacBook Air with the 7-core iGPU. The MacBook Pro 13 M1 is always equipped with the faster 8-core version of the iGPU, while the entry-level Air is also available with a less powerful 7-core iGPU. All mobile Intel CPUs including the brand-new Tiger Lake processors are also slower. Among the mobile processors, only the AMD Ryzen 7 4800U has an advantage, but the much more popular Ryzen 7 4700U is marginally slower. The performance is not less impressive in the multi-core test, and Apple's M1 processor is only beaten by CPUs with much more cores. Only the two brand-new desktop CPUs from AMD have a small lead. Our test device also beats pretty much everything in the single-core test, including the most powerful new Tiger Lake CPUs from Intel, the recent Ryzen mobile processors and even the current 45W CPUs from Intel do not stand a chance. The direct predecessor with the Intel Core i5-8257U is clearly beaten (+51 % Single, +94 % Multi). Almost all mobile devices (especially with 15W CPUs) usually throttle noticeably after the initial 30 seconds. We are very impressed that the MacBook Pro 13 can maintain the performance. Still, you will hardly notice this in practice. However, the Air has to reduce the performance a bit (-12 %) when you stress the device for longer periods due to the passive cooling solution. The single-core result is just marginally better than the MacBook Air M1, and even the first Multi run is just 5 % faster on the Pro. First, we have a look at the processor performance in native applications, in this case Cinebench R23. The performance of Apple's new M1 processor is once again impressive, not only compared to the previous Intel powered MBP 13 or the more expensive MBP 13 with four Thunderbolt ports. Great: There is no visible backlight bleeding on a black background, even at the maximum brightness. We can also see some fluctuations on the oscilloscope at a brightness of 50 % or more, but we cannot measure it. The frequency is very high at 122 kHz though, so there should not be any problems. The response times are decent, but we can once determine a flickering of the background illumination at a brightness of 49 % or less.

The device now supports iOS apps as well, so a touchscreen would definitely make more sense now.Ĭompared to Windows rivals, the MacBook Pro 13 offers other advantages like the very well working ambient light sensor, the automatic adjustment of the color temperature based on the ambient lighting (TrueTone) and the perfect scaling in macOS. All in all, the subjective picture impression is excellent. Apple advertises a brightness of 500 nits, but we cannot confirm that at all measurement spots. You once again get a glossy IPS-screen with 2560 x 1600 pixels (227 ppi) and a 16:10 aspect ratio.
