Buying call

The four-port 2020 13-inch MacBook Pro pairs 10th-gen quad-core Core i5 or i7 chips with up to 32GB of 3733MHz memory, a 500-nit 13.3-inch 2560x1600 display and the scissor-switch Magic Keyboard with a physical Escape key. Four Thunderbolt 3 ports beat the two-port model by a wide margin. CPU gains over the 2019 model are modest, the webcam is still 720p, and you'll live with adapters.
