10 Reasons Why the 2020 Apple MacBook Pro is the Ultimate Portable Workstation
If you’re looking to use your laptop for multimedia, gaming, and business (and who isn’t?), then the 2020 Apple MacBook Pro is the portable workstation you’ve been dreaming of. As the top-of-the-line notebook in Apple’s Pro series, this workhorse of a machine has all the bells and whistles—and more—that you could ever want or need to make your workflow run smoothly and efficiently. Here are ten reasons why it’s so amazing!

1) Performance
In addition to being incredibly powerful, with a 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU, it’s lightweight and thin—making it not only great for portability but also supremely comfortable to use. By moving from Intel’s older Skylake architecture to its new M1 chip, Apple has managed to boost both processing power and battery life significantly. If you need top-of-the-line performance on your laptop, look no further than the new MacBook Pro.
2) Display Quality
As a creative professional, display quality may not seem like a big deal to you. However, if you’re someone who spends most of their day on their laptop, it’s something that you should definitely be concerned about. Your laptop display will impact how your work will look and how comfortable your eyes are when working on that project for 10+ hours per day.
3) Durability
In today’s business world, road warriors are often required to work from any location at any time. Of course, that means that you’ll need a laptop that can keep up with you and all of your business tasks without fail. Luckily, modern technology has gotten us most of the way there with laptops like the new generation of Macbook Pros, which are designed to be both extremely powerful and exceptionally durable.
4) Value
The value of using a portable workstation as powerful as an Apple M1 Pro laptop depends on what you’re doing with it. If you’re part of a business, being able to access information from anywhere can free up your time and allow you to focus on more important tasks. For instance, let’s say you run a design firm in Boston.
5) Features
• The Intel I9 processor has 10-cores and a clock speed of 2.8 GHz, running at 3.2GHz when needed, which will perform any task with ease. • The 16‐core Nvidia® GeForce® GTX 1080 graphics card can run most virtual reality and gaming software available today with ease. • Stunning Retina display provides high resolution images and videos that look incredibly crisp.
6) Reliability
Consumer demand for high-powered laptops has skyrocketed in recent years, and Apple’s dominance over its competitors will continue as PC sales decline. We expect next-generation notebooks to have increased CPU/GPU performance and a more efficient battery. The new 16-inch model, for example, would benefit from an integrated charging system that doesn’t require a separate power cord. While it's possible we'll see an entirely redesigned model by 2020, don't be surprised if we see only incremental improvements.
7) Ergonomics
Ergonomics refers to your workspace. Does it force you to hunch over and strain your body? Make sure you’re sitting at a desk, chair, or table that fits you properly. Use ergonomic keyboards and mice so that you don’t have to contort your hands for long periods of time. Your office should be comfortable, safe, and conducive to work—not painful or inconvenient.
8) Innovation
Computers are more than ever at a crossroads, where hardware and software converge. We now have computers that can not only talk to each other, but which can be connected to our bodies in unique ways. Take Apple’s new wireless AirPods earbuds, for example: they look like ordinary white earphones—but they have built-in sensors that detect when you put them in your ears, and pair automatically with a nearby iPhone or iPad without any extra input from you.
9) Design
The 16-inch screen size on Apple’s new MacBook Pro is like a miracle. This thing weighs around 5 pounds, which isn’t that bad for being so powerful. The screen resolution supports over 6 million pixels, which you may not see every day but will certainly appreciate when designing or working with graphics. In terms of design, it has very slim bezels and an impressive Retina display. The aluminum enclosure gives it a premium look and feel, while also protecting it from dings and scratches.
10) Reputation
Beyond its sleek design and ease of use, Apple’s laptops are known for their durability and sturdiness. With such a large screen, it's easy to display content from across your workspace—and thanks to its high-resolution Retina display, everything will look sharp and crisp at any distance.
