16-inch MacBook Pro - 24-Hour Review

[@stergiosbampakis]

Just to get this clear. They gave up butterfly, they returned to improved scissor switch, they gave inverted T arrows, they thickened the body for thermals, the provided actual esc key, they gave one of the best screens in market, they increased base storage to 512gb and they kept the same price as of the 15 inch and they gave EARLY access to reviewers and press ? Is this Apple we’re talking about ?

[@Eftyhis_Vavagiakis]

I don't like the inverted T arrow keys and the smaller key caps, but I love the fact that Apple returned to scissor mechanism and gave us the esc key back. In my opinion would be lovely if Apple could provide us with an even bigger screen sized MacBook Pro.

Especially when dealing with really hot temperatures like CPU temps. 100C is the boiling point of water, 0 is the freezing point of water. 75C is the temperature you don't typically want your CPU to go over, but sometimes it's okay to go over for short times under heavy loads.

[@Palalune]

Never had a problem with the butterfly keyboard on my 13". "Virtual" Esc is fine, I can type on it and so far all the keys are working. I never got used to the arrow keys though; why Apple ever moved aways from the inverted T is beyond me. Glad to see it's back and hopefully will never go away / will be added to all the other MacBooks as well.

Great first look!!! Looks great. Quick question. Does the new fan system appear to handle heat better? At least well enough so we can get the 8 core performance we paid for?

[@Fgghgrgrhgfnvkmd]

What I want to know is that 1. Does the keyboard still as loud as the butterfly crap? 2. How is the internal of the laptop, is it passively cooled like the current MBA or not? 3. Does it thermal throttle? I’m not coming back from windows till then

[@AlexDiaz-sf4qj]

I can answer some of these 1) no, it’s noticeably quieter 2)Compared to the MBA like you said it should be much more passively cooled 3) I don’t own one so i can’t answer that one.

[@KhariConception]

I’d give it a 9.2/10. I’m sure my opinion doesn’t matter, but the iMac is still a better deal for 4K video editing for now at least. Edit: Ok, maybe a 9.5/10. Apple replacing the 15” with this at the same price is bananas!

[@AlexDiaz-sf4qj]

Yeah! All we need now is a 4k OLED display, and perhaps a better gpu. Maybe a RTX?

[@KhariConception]

Alex Diaz I didn’t even think about that. A 4K or even a 5k screen using their 2014 iMac-esque technology would have been killer! Apple is known for using 2nd rate GPUs. Their operation system smoothness makes up for it imo. A RTX-like GPU would have made me save my coins instead of being stuck on a iMac with a solid 4gb GPU and a i7.

[@doqx42]

built-in mic sounded good and could easily see it being good enough while traveling but for quality I can't see anyone choosing the built-in over a stand-alone mic still. Was very noticeable when the audio switched during this video.

it is good to have a decent enough mic just in case there's a real need to use it. i hope they have also improved the facetime camera.

Could the new 16” MacBook pro be the new default MacBook?

[@propergander8509]

I need some buying advice! Some help would be greatly appreciated! So, my 2015 13” mbp’s display broke just a few days ago, which is really unfortunate because I was waiting for Apple to drop the inevitable 14” mbp! My requirements are 16gb of ram and 512GB of storage. Should I get the current 13” model with upgrades for ~2500€ or shell out an extra 200€ for the new 16” baseline, which has a bigger display, a better battery and a much better processor + thermal performance. I really enjoy the portability of the 13”, so I am a bit apprehensive to having to lug around a giant slab of metal. Or is the 16” not that impractical in everyday life? What would you have me do? Get the old 13” model or the much better but clunkier 15” one? Because I really can’t tough out with just an ipad until summer or whenever Apple sees it fit to grace us with the 14” mbp!

[@susanpratt3290]

I went to my local Best Buy, and they had a 16 inch MacBook Pro. I am in awe of this powerful laptop. I love that the escape and the touch ID keys are separate from the touch bar, and the keys themselves are great. The speakers are awesome, everything else except that the camera is only 720 instead of 1080 p, and no Face ID, that would be really nice. It didn't have the 10th Generation processor so it is not WiFi 6, but it did have Bluetooth 5.0. You can max up the processor, the ram, the video (adding 4 more GB of video ram for a total of 8) and up to 8 TB of SSD. And much better cooling. I also love that the price of the base didn't go up as much as I expected or rumored to be ($3,000, it was lower). I also found a nice docking station for the MacBooks which has extra ports, like some Type A, Type C, HDMI, SD Slots, network port, and a display port. This Docking station was $109.99 not to bad a price. Also, want to get a Bluetooth numeric keypad and an LG Blue-ray reader/writer so I can watch or make my own blue-ray videos. I would also get that software so that I can put Windows on it for my Office 365 which includes Access and Publisher). This MacBook has more power than the Windows PC's. I rarely even seen one that has a 1TB SSD, let alone 2, 4 or 8 TB SSD. More Ram 32 GB or 64 GB options that I don't see often. They really catered to the Creators on this MacBook. Bigger screen and still not too big to carry around, and not too heavy either. I am pretty pleased with this MacBook Pro. Now the Windows PC Makers will have some major competition.

[@ChrisDennyphotography]

Rene, the audio was clean but it sounded like you were recording the video sitting outside, or as someone else commented, recording in a car. It lacks the quality that you would get from using a dedicated microphone like you use for podcasting or recording. If you were using the new Mac to record in a dedicated sound proof room, that ever so slight echo would probably go away and would probably sound a little more rich than it does now. It could also be I'm nit picking too.
