In November 2020, Apple updated its popular 13-inch MacBook lineup with the first Apple Silicon chip for the Mac, the M1 chip.Both the 13-inch MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro received updates.

However, due to the specific hardware configuration of a Mac, there are a few deviations and special considerations which warrant a separate guide.
