The $1,299 entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro has the Apple M1 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and a Retina Display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution. And because Apple is slowly showing Intel to the door, customers now have four MacBook Pro starting points: Two lower-priced units with the M1 chip and two higher-priced starting points with 10th-gen Intel chips. The company introduced its M1 chip in 2020, a new processor based on ARM’s CPU design. Here’s where things get a little weird with Apple.

If you want to get crazy, the top-end Razer Blade Stealth costs $1,999 and packs an 11th-gen Intel Core i7-1165G7, Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1650 Ti with Max-Q discrete GPU, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a full HD OLED screen at 60Hz - touch included.

The MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar is also something that differentiates the two, although it’s not fully convinced us of its usefulness just yet. Meanwhile, the RGB backlit keyboard on Razer’s unit is great for its target audience, who prefer a little color in their typing experience.įinally, both laptops provide excellent touchpads, but the MacBook Pro just edges the contest in this area. That hasn’t always been the case, as Apple just upgraded the 13-inch MacBook Pro with its new Magic Keyboard in May 2020, which ditches the troublesome butterfly switches with those for a scissor design. On the keyboard front, the MacBook Pro provides one of the best we’ve seen on a laptop.
That means you get a greater number of super-speed ports on the MacBook Pro, but you’ll need a dongle or two if you’re using legacy USB-A devices. The MacBook Pro ditches legacy support and supplies either two or four USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 3, depending on the model. The Razer Blade Stealth has a single USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3 and two USB-A ports. In terms of connectivity, there’s quite a stark difference between the two. Those on the Razer Blade Stealth are far slimmer on the sides than the MacBook Pro, but its bottom bezel is much taller. That’s certainly the case with both the Razer Blade Stealth and the 13-inch MacBook Pro.įirst, Razer’s laptop sports a sleek, aluminum exterior in an attractive, compact package that’s almost identical in size and weight to Apple’s MacBook Pro 13, although the MacBook Pro is a tad bit lighter.īoth devices sport acceptably-thick bezels. One of the biggest differences between midrange and entry-level laptops is that they tend to look a lot nicer and have much better features when they cross over the $1,000 line.
