The MacBook Pro 13 inch running on the M3 chip will be introduced by Apple this year (Image: The Tech Outlook)According to some leaked information, Apple is still set to unveil the MacBook Pro 13 inch with the M3 chip this year. Earlier reports suggested that the emergence of the 15-inch MacBook Air would replace the MacBook Pro 13 inch this year. Below are the reasons why the MacBook Pro 13 inch is still retained by Apple.
According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the MacBook Pro 13 inch version will still be maintained despite the introduction of the MacBook Air 15 inch. However, reports indicate that the 15-inch MacBook Air version may be equipped with the M2 chip instead of the latest M3.

According to previous performance leaks, the M3 chip is only 6% slower than the 12-core variant of the M2 Max in multi-core tasks and 24% faster in single-core tasks, making users anticipate products running on the M3 chip more.
The much-anticipated M3 chip might make its way onto the MacBook Pro 13 inch, possibly in Q4. Opting for the M3-powered MacBook Pro 13 inch is a choice for those solely focused on upgrading technical specifications and not prioritizing design aesthetics. Additionally, the 13-inch MacBook Pro is the only variant equipped with the Touch Bar, a feature still quite convenient for many users.

Compared to the MacBook Air 13 inch, the MacBook Pro 13 inch is equipped with a cooling fan, which significantly enhances the multitasking performance of the M2 chip.
For those who may not know, the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro are currently priced from $1,299 (approximately 30.5 million VND) on Apple's website with specifications including an 8-core CPU, 10 GPU, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD, and more.
The M3 chip variant promises significant improvements in battery life, which is the most anticipated aspect for users. The exact timeframe for when Apple will give the 13-inch MacBook Pro a new design is unclear. However, it's evident that there's still considerable interest and usage of the 13-inch MacBook Pro.
