Will it do what I need?

The 13” MacBook Pro 2020 (4TB3) Is Great For

Everyday & webBrowsing, email, streaming, video calls — quick and responsive, and quiet at rest. Students & universityUp to 10 hours of battery at 1.4kg — a full day of lectures at a student-friendly price. Business & starting upOffice 365, Google Workspace, Zoom and accounting software — with Touch Bar shortcuts on top. Windows & x86 softwareRuns Windows natively via Boot Camp — plus every legacy x86 app and plugin. Apple Silicon Macs can't do this.
Trading & multi-monitorDrives one 6K or two 4K external displays over Thunderbolt 3 — more than the M1/M2 13-inch, which manage one.
Programming & devXcode, VS Code and web dev run well — and Docker uses native x86 images, handy when you deploy to Intel servers. Photo editingLightroom and Photoshop are comfortable for everyday edits — expect the fans on big batch exports. Music & podcastsGarageBand and Logic run well, with full x86 plugin compatibility — record with the fans at rest. CAD & 3D designBoot Camp runs Revit, Inventor and SolidWorks natively — fine for lighter models, but Iris Plus integrated graphics limit big assemblies. Heavy video editing1080p editing is fine; 4K timelines and effects-heavy exports run hot and slow — choose a 14” or 16” Apple Silicon Pro. Local AI & LLMsNo Neural Engine or unified memory — local models crawl on Intel. An M-series Pro with 16GB+ is the right tool.
Serious gamingApple Arcade and light or older titles only — even via Boot Camp, integrated graphics aren't a gaming rig.

The short version: next-day delivery on most orders, 14 days to change your mind, a 12-month hardware warranty, and a real human on WhatsApp if you're ever unsure. Everything below applies to UK orders only — outside the UK, message us before ordering.

Delivery

MacBooks & laptops — DPD Next Day, Before 12

Most orders ship with DPD Next Day (Before 12) — so most Macs arrive before noon the next working day. DPD delivers on weekdays; orders placed over the weekend head out on Monday.

iMacs — DHL Express Next Day

iMacs ship with DHL Express Next Day. Order before 1pm and your iMac can arrive the next working day — though in general, allow 1 working day of handling time for iMacs, as they take longer to pack safely.

Returns — 14 days, always

Every order comes with our standard 14-day return policy.

If in doubt or unsure what to buy — don't buy. Reach out first and have a chat with us on WhatsApp: +44 7477 143031 (that's Denis), or email support@ta1macstore.co.uk. We'd much rather help you pick the right Mac than have you guess — and whatever you choose, the 14 days is always there.

Returning a MacBook or laptop

We'll send you a DPD return label at no cost to you and book a collection from your doorstep. Just hand the Mac to the DPD driver, keep the collection slip they give you, and we deal with everything else.

Returning an iMac

For iMacs, return shipping is at your cost — typically £35 for an insured DHL return. But get in touch anyway and we'll arrange the collection and handle all the logistics for you.

Please keep the packaging

Hold on to the original box and packaging, at least until you're sure you're keeping your Mac. Getting it back to us securely packed is your responsibility — so you'll need a sturdy box.

Faulty item? We handle everything.

If your Mac develops a genuine fault, that's on us — we'll cover the return, the repair or replacement, all of it.

Our defect rate is very, very low: we refurbish with original Apple displays and original Apple parts (batteries are the one exception — those are model-specific). But if anything does go wrong — say the Mac won't turn on — and it's a hardware issue rather than accidental damage, we'll cover a repair or replacement under our 12-month return-to-base (RTB) hardware warranty.

Accidental damage — a dropped Mac, a cracked screen, a spilled drink — isn't covered by the warranty. But don't disappear on us: we're Mac refurbishment specialists, so we'll do our best to help and keep out-of-warranty repair prices low. Our customers are like our community — we do our best to look after each other.

Operating System

Latest macOS Tahoe. ✅✅

macOS 26 Tahoe brings the new Liquid Glass design, a much smarter Spotlight, the Phone app on your Mac and live iPhone activities in the menu bar. This four-port 2020 model is one of only two Intel MacBook Pros that run it — Tahoe is the final macOS generation for Intel Macs. Apple Intelligence features need an Apple Silicon Mac.
