About the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch M1 (2020)
The Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch M1 (2020) is an Apple Silicon MacBook with memory, storage and graphics all built into the M-series chip, part of Apple Silicon MacBooks. It was released in 2020. It has a 13-inch screen, a popular size, so replacement panels are usually easy to source.
Its memory, storage and graphics are all part of the main chip, so they can’t be upgraded later. New parts are readily available, so most repairs use new components.
