The 2019 MacBook Pro (13-inch display model) is sleek, powerful, and provides plenty of options for upgrades. Whether you want the base model, or the best model with the most upgrades, you’re going to get an incredibly performant laptop.

Apple’s line of 2019 MacBook Pro’s come in two models, one with a 13-inch display, and one with a 16-inch display. This guide is specifically for the 13-inch display model.

Why choose the 13-inch model vs. the 16-inch model?

The smaller display makes the 13-inch model feel a little more lightweight, compact, and portable than the 16-inch model. The 13-inch model is also less expensive, so depending on your budget you may want to spend more money to get the 16-inch.

However, the 16-inch model might be a better choice if you’re someone who wants:

  • More screen space to work with (3072 x 1920 resolution display)
  • More than 16GB of RAM (32–64GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory)
  • A better graphics card (AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 4GB of GDDR6 memory)
  • More processing power (8-core Intel Core i9 processor is an upgrade option)
