Got this used for live music and music production. Lots of people suggested getting M1/M2, but even at the end of 2022 and most likely well into next year, there are LOADS of VSTs that are only x86. So if you shell out for M1 or M2, you'll need to run everything including your music app in Rosetta anyway in order to use the plugins and you'll probably get a smaller screen, less RAM and have to pay an extra $1k.

[@mohaawwkk]

Ok I think you may be exaggerating a bit here. In my case I haven't had any issues even with my obscure plugins yet on M1

[@LewisCostin]

@@mohaawwkk Probably but NI are taking their sweet time. Only Kontact works natively at the moment but not on the M2 yet. What isn't exaggerated is the price difference at which they can be had, I got this for $600 US. The 2022 Air is double that. If you make videos it is definitely worth it to get on silicon, but not for music.

I was told that if you're looking for a long term Macbook, the M1 and M2 are better cause they'll be supported for years to come whereas the Intel ones might stop being supported in the next few years.

[@danhettrick9376]

Late to the party but anyways.. I think some people are mixing up the 15inch version and the 16inch version. The 15 inch was known to have thermal issues, especially with the i9. These issues were addressed and fixed with the 16inch model with 30% more cooling. Fans were enlarged and made mostly of metal. Several other things were done to help including a return to the older style keyboard etc. Other than the 2015 macbook pro, the 2019 16inch macbook pro is arguably one of the best macbooks apple has ever made, even in 2023.

I got mine MacBook Pro 2019 with 16 inch display yesterday and I am very happy I made that choice. Past few years I have tried out several MacBook Pro versions such 2015, 2018 and 2021 with M1 chip and all were with 13inch display. I used it for programming and work mostly and sometimes for browsing or to watch movies.. I decided to replace my private laptop, the 17 inch Dell with another faster machine and I found this one online, it is MacBook Pro 2019 with 16 inch display, 16GB of RAM, Intel i7 with 6 cores CPU, the battery had only 20 charge cycles, so I am decided to buy it and I am very happy with my choice. 16 inch display is just awesome, I though it will be way too big, but actually 16 inch Mac is compact and I cant even think of going back to 13 inch models back without external monitor, this one is just amazing, it's exactly what I need. Also before this 2019 Mac version I have used M1 Pro and I was not impressed with M1 at all, nothing special in my opinion, Intel is still a thing in my opinion. I would recommend this Mac for any kind of work, and maybe for casual gaming, it's good machine.

[@misterfreezer9895]

Do you think this Intel i7 with 6 cores pretty enough for long term? Because Apple M1 not far away from this i7 I see, just 30% difference between of both… and the same results with M2 “only 37% more powerful

I can get over 5 hours of KZbin. Right now I get lower (Like 1-2 hours) as I have the laptop set to use the Radeon graphics right now as it is needed for another app running a DVD drive plus my hoard of safari tabs lol. This laptop plus my recently upgraded 2019 iMac suits me perfectly! I don't need the latest M1, M2 or M3's just for what I do. Plus even though I hate windows, I still am not quite ready to give up the ability to boot into it. These older laptops are great for most people even today!

@@markd8469 unfortunately i am stuck with either choosing a base model m1 with 8gb ram or going with the i9 16 inches 16 to 32 gb model with 512 storage or 1tb storage, i wanted m1 with 16gbs but it isnt available, so stuck with these two options, i mean editing 8 bit 4k footages in a 16 inch screen with more real estate kind of asking me to latch on to it, but then the heat issue is making me choose the other one, base model m1 with 8gb can it trash the i9?

Hy just wondering as a creative multimedia student, i work alot with 3D rendering in uni. Currently using Acer Swift 5 16GB i7. In brief, my blender often crash which is very frustrating! Anyways, hows the blender rendering here can you make a review about it?

Hey TS, I'm running the i9 2.3ghz version of that 2019 16 and I'm thinking about installing Monterey straight from Catalina (10.15) I want to play Warhammer Total War 3 (only runs on Monterey) and 2 runs fine. I would do bootcamp but I've heard that if I do that then the AMD 5500m GPU runs without being able to script/switch to the Discreet integrated GPU and it runs hot enough as it is. What OSX do you use on yours? I've heard Monterey can slow down this mbp and have seen people advise to stick with Catalina (albeit security updates might leave me exposed apparently). Any advice gratefully received.

[@Lochnivar]

@@anupammahato1 Hi - the only advice I could give is that if you are going for this intel based i9 would be that you do not get any other version than the 5600m. My machine has been suffering kernel panics because of the overheating, Apple refuse to acknowledge it's a manufacturers fault. The 5600m doesn't suffer from any of these problems, this is a known and common issue among the 5500m and below. I'd also advise 32gb of RAM rather than 16 - with all the processes hogging the memory in the background I'm often left with an average of 4-6GB of ram to play with, not nearly enough. All in all, given I paid £2300 at the time (it was a good deal considering it was ticketed at £2600) this purchase has made me seriously consider never buying an apple product again.

I have a i9 16 MacBook Pro and I wouldn’t recommended it, you’re better off buying a used M1 MacBook Air or Pro for around the same price and you’ll get the same performance with 2x the battery life, that and the heat it generates doing anything that isn’t web browsing..

How did you program the touchbar so you don’t touch it any more? 😂👍 BTW, I love my Intel 16 inch too. It got buried under all the hype about the M1. Very underrated computer.

[@dennisk000]

I am between buying a 16" i9/16gb/1tb and a 14" m1 pro/16gb/512gb. The 16" i9 is used but in pristine condition and is 50% cheaper. The "heaviest" tasks I am into include MS Excel and other office apps. Would it be sufficient to go with the 2019 16" ? Does Apple still support these older models?

[@jeffrey3498]

@@dennisk000 My Intel 16” MBP is specced exactly like the one you’re considering. For your use case it would be perfect, plus you’d save money. I also have a 16” M1PRO 16GBs 1TB that would be a great option for you if you wanted to spend more. I got mine for $2295 as Best Buy had $400 off. The 16” M1PRO is better than the 14 because of a bigger screen, superior thermal cooling, and better speakers too. You couldn’t go wrong with either one is my opinion.

You forgot to mention that its compatible with many applications since most software are INTEL based and not very intergrated yet with m1. Also many of my friends that use the m1 they have many issues during music production when on intel they had none. I am buying one for 880 tomorrow with 64gb ram and 2tb SSD so its a still. I already own m1 max 16" but the price was too good to pass and I can use it with programs that are not compatible with m1 and take it with me to travel etc. GREAT REVIEW.

[@larrytaylor2692]

The reason prices has dropped so much on intel macs is be because apple will no longer support them in the next year or maybe two but the clock is ticking on them becoming mostly useless

[@xij3505]

The upcoming macos release supports up to the 2018 macbook pro and next years is expected to support up to 2019, so realistically there's 2 full years of the newest macOS being supported. Saying that it will be mostly useless after that is insane lmao, it'll be exactly the same, you just won't be able to install the newest OS.

It's highly unlikely that they will bring back the touch bar. Too many people were against it and it was pretty much reliant on third party applications to make use of it. Not to mention that it was known for being buggy (at least on some models) and it adds production cost

In terms of longevity, the Intel machines won't be supported for long. Apple has no problem cutting support for these Intel machines. Just how they released the M1 a year after they released this 2019 version. Which completely took a dump on the people that bought these brand new.

[@mountainclimbr]

I purchased my laptop from a Best Buy reseller (i7, 5300M, 16GB, 1TB SSD) and it was an absolute HORRIBLE choice, the laptop itself is amazing, the screen is nice and spacious, the keyboard and trackpad are awesome, I love the Touch Bar and the speakers are incomparable to any other laptop. Luckily my unit doesn't really get too hot and the fan noise is a treat compared to any other gaming laptop. The thing that pushed me to ask for a refund was the horrible laggy and sluggish animations, everything takes forever to open(compared to my 2020 Alienware laptop with an i5 11th gen) and there are these "skips" every 10 seconds or so that ruin the experience, Mac OS is supposed to be fluid and fast but with this laptop it is absolutely unusable if you have used any modern windows or m1 laptops. I even tried reinstalling the entire OS but the lag is still very persistent as well as the "skips", especially when using the trackpad. If you want a FAST and RELIABLE laptop, DO NOT get this laptop, NO MATTER HOW CHEAP IT IS. Do yourself a favour and get a refurbished m1/m2 air/pro. It's such a shame that such a nice machine gets killed by Apple just to make the newer laptops seem better, I can't believe that when I installed Bootcamp, Windows 10 feels SMOOTHER than Monterey OS(which is the default OS!!). LET THAT SINK IN! Scrolling through the comment section on YT, waiting for basic websites to load like FB, Reddit, Twitter, Best Buy AND SWITCHING TABS ON CHROME WITH JUST 3 TABS OPEN takes FOREVER.
