16-inch MacBook Pro Unboxing, Setup, Comparison and First Look

[@flamingkillermc2806]

Finally a person that doesn’t complain if it’s 1 mm thicker and if the fans speed up, unlike most people that literally want it to be glass thin and the quietest thing possibly on Earth.

[@Nomaxiq]

I agree with you

Laughs in M1

[@flamingkillermc2806]

@@AKZbinChannelwithNoName Even then it’s not 1 mm think. The M1 Pro and Max models are thicker then the intel - 16” MBP

[@SicSemperBeats]

It’s wild how the most impressive part of this video was the microphone. Holy shit it sounded good. Honestly similar to the studio mic just with a slight muffle over it.

[@djdelarosa25]

"It should be pretty good for the price." *It better be.*

[@LucienSabre]

It definitely is: the price is the same as the 15" model's, but for that you get better specs. :)

I just bought one invoice came to 2899

[@DarkandTwisted]

I absolutely LOVE the touch bar! I could not live without it!😍

[@mvrod00]

Aaron great reviewer and just a good guy

[@zollotech]

Thank you

[@greatjojek]

Wait, did I just watch a nice video without any sponsored advertising and no silly face on the video miniature?! Pleasant to watch and very informative. Thank you and keep it up!

[@zollotech]

All of the time codes are linked in the description so you can jump right to what you would like to see. What do you think of the new MacBook Pro? Thanks for watching!

[@linakoh4206]

Sounds good from your review price is steep though like the keyboard and omitted the newer keypads. Thank you Aaron

[@jameskulundu8945]

Nice review. Do a giveaway fo the 2017 version

[@fajarkurniawan9434]

The keyboard is game changer to me, that's what stop me to upgrade from my 2015 So I'll wait for the 13inch version next year

I am quite comfortable with my 13” MacBook pro 2015having all ports which i need day to day life mainly USB and HDMI. And using this lapy without any adaptor. 👍🏻

[@guitaripod]

Awesome to see someone who understands the value of 60fps video. Subscribed.

[@flynnaz]

I’m so glad you did a review on this at that price it’s way out of my range but it’s nice to see what Apple has the offer. The Mike does sound incredible and the keyboard is definitely a plus over my 2019 MacBook Pro.

[@acquired.archives]

This is definitely the Mac we’ve all been waiting for. I have a 13 inch from 2016 and can’t wait to upgrade to the new MBP

[@MarcellJjr]

got this same one today! will pay itself back veery soon!!

[@barrelsandwine4188]

The new black table setup looks better, way better.

[@zollotech]

Thanks. I'll be changing it up depending on the video and what I am showing, but glad you like it.

[@HenrickPoliquin]

how to easily get convinced you don't need it... build a maxxed out configuration, check the price. If that still doesn't scare you away, yeah I guess you may buy it but I won't. lol

[@denissssss8579]

Feel bad for those who bought the the 15 inch days ago for the same price

[@matt2m]

I had 30 days at Best Buy but yah I’m glad I waited lmao just waiting on benchmarks on certain configurations.

[@denissssss8579]

Smiley Face will be the same

[@elliottw4948]

Smiley Face Yeah...it’s highly unlikely that we’ll get a redesigned 16 inch model in 2020 since the “new” design just came out like a week ago.

[@__MariNic]

opening statement "i have a completely maxed out MacBook pro, however the storage is only 2 tb and the ram is only 32 not 64." well good sir you have a semi basic MacBook pro

[@CDogBeast1992]

"you will be able to fly with it" except when you are living in 2020

[@afeeqhasan6621]

The transition between the mics though

[@FloridaClay]

The internal mike seems quite usable, but is slightly muffled in comparison to the overhead. To me the touch bar seemed a bit of fluff when I first got my 2017 MacBook Pro, but as time has gone on I find I am using it more and more and now like it.

[@specialorder9379]

How in the hell is it possible that Apple hasn’t addressed the GINORMOUS charging brick!? Honestly...

[@zollotech]

How is that a problem? Thry need a large charging brick to dissipate the heat generated for the amount of current it needs to push. For most companies it would be double the size.

[@jakehardy5997]

Exactly the review I was looking for. I can’t wait to get mine next month! Thanks for the great in depth review. Without a doubt my favorite that I’ve found so far

[@mlatief5865]

Excellent comparison Just the info i needed. Thans

[@wilhelmtel794]

Macbook and iphone mics and speakers tell my brain: I need THIS!

[@RakibFiha]

If it had upgradable ssd and memory, it would have been the best laptop of this year for me

[@zollotech]

MacBooks haven’t had that for years sadly, but the options are good enough that you can just get what you need.

[@dushyantgandotra5261]

If you're not using it anymore kindly send it to me

[@VarietyEntertainmentStudios]

Overall I think your content is great, and I don't mean to be rude at all, but I know you don't want to be misleading so I thought I'd point this out: You say faster CPU options in the description, but the CPU options on the 16-inch MacBook Pro are actually identical to the options on the 2019 15-inch MacBook Pro from earlier this year. Only differences are in graphics, plus higher-tiered options for memory and storage. Still, great unboxing!

[@Kryestoral]

Really love your videos. Great work !

[@UwUSanime]

[@zman4220]

Oh yeah let me configure these MacBooks differently before I compare them. GENIUS

[@IronMan_Daddy]

this is the kind of review I am looking for

[@jcaiwa185]

I wonder why I don’t get excited with this new device...? I‘ve always been a MBP huge fan, for 10 years or so, however, now that I am totally into my iPad Pro, I just don’t want to go back to a classic laptop format, except for Final Cut use. I believe a 14“ MBP in a 13“ chassis willmake me feel different I guess... Thanks Aaron, you always get my thumb up.

[@tipoomaster]

I would not be unhappy listening to a podcast through that macbook studio mic. Pros aren't getting rid of their dedicated gear any time soon, but this will allow people to start without added gear over the editing rig they already needed.

[@absolutem31]

[@Kara3405]

I would like to see a 13-inch variant of the MacBook Pro that has the same new keyboard because 16 inches is too large for me and the price of this thing is just too much. Excellent content as always!😁

Great overview of this latest MacBook Pro--thank you!

[@marlerusticgeek0075]

Enjoyed the unboxing and first look at the 16 in MBP Aaron😀👍🏾Sounded awesome.Do you work with Garage Band? Would like to see and hear something made with this or another audio program😉Anyone else?

[@afanasya9625]

Good comparison, thank you! You’ve compared to 2017 version and that’s why there’s much difference, but if you’ll compare to 15 2019, you will not got so much differ to the keyboard and speed. Please make more test according noise and how much it rises according to the tasks. Thank you!

It's a beautiful machine. May have to sell one of my kids to pay for it.

[@mattreanor0611]

That's a $$$ for a Laptop with no wifi 6. I still don't why Apple didn't make it standard for this years Mac Book Pro since everything else is. That's is only complaint that I have. Great review. Enjoy and keep up the good work.

[@adetoye50]

Thanks Aaron for this initial reviews, please I need to get your specifications correctly, maybe I need to listen to the broadcast again as I don’t want to make any mistake. I am in thoughts of getting the 1TB but I am still not sure if I should go with the 2TB. Thanks for another review. We ♥ You.

[@WhittyPics]

Just when we thought it wasn't coming, WHAM. 1TB storage would be enough for me. Macbook mic sounds deeper. It is fine. Maybe these improvements will be put into the smaller Macbook Pro next year? Everybody is RAVING about the new speakers. Have you gave them a listen yet?

[@Racidy]

the fans start every time or just in "big" tasks?

[@Racidy]

and for the mic sound have you used any amplification in editing?

[@mohajira638]

+1

[@zollotech]

@@Racidy The fans only spin up when doing intensive tasks. When using it to type this for example, you cant hear them. For the actual studio mic I bump the gain up and add some bass. For the MacBook Pro mics I only made the volume level the same, nothing more.

[@Racidy]

@@zollotech thank you so much

[@rolandgerard6064]

Good review, thx

[@Dylan-qy5tc]

I was about to say, Apple was way ahead of its time with a Macbook like that in 2007

[@edwardvinch4492]

Wait. A headphone jack? I watched a lot of unboxing already but you guys are the only one mentioned the headphone jack. Nice.

[@cliftonparchment4498]

Hey Aaron you got to woe on that head bopping. It’s goes great when listening to music. 🤣🤣

[@Goaltimer]

Nice new Pro but no need to upgrade if you already have a MacBook Pro 2017.

[@darrene.mathews5566]

You've had the best comparison dimensions graphics of the two MBPs so far. I bought the 2019 Mac Book Pro 15" last August, and already Apple has pushed out this new version. Gosha washa! They certainly know the way to make a guy feel outdated quick. 😩

[@codebraker12]

best things are: New Display with variable refresh rate. New studio mic (I miss a decent webcam to complete the setup) new keyboard

[@cia290]

I would love to have one

[@transitpix]

The previous butterfly keyboard was not a bad idea - it sits flush against the screen so the keys don't touch the screen. The 2015 MBP - I bought it in 2017 - now needs a screen replacement: #staingate. And a bloated battery with only 159 cycles on it.

[@Pjgill]

Wow MacBook mics are legit

[@NervousNoodles]

Hi Aaron, thanks a lot for this awesome review! I am interested in picking one up, and was curious as to how you managed to pick one up at the store with such high configurations? Are all configurations available at the stores, or only specific configurations? Thanks.

[@lastminuteboi]

8:14 I think the 16" macbook pro does not push more because Apple wants it to have as much headroom for cooling since bending the screen more will more likely cover the ventilation shafts behind the screen

[@jishnumittal6702]

Is it only me who thinks that the microphone on Mac was better than his studio mic?

[@fajarkurniawan9434]

It's good to know Apple finally realize that thinner is not always better

[@tronixmobile]

Is the overall temperature good? I mean running heavy tasks is a nice thing but it's not the average usage. Would be nice to see some more insights on that.

[@aleksandarkrnic1697]

i will buy one when the start puting they own A chips in it

[@Josh-oc7ib]

there will be a day where tech like this is like 500$

[@Josh-oc7ib]

@@zollotech that will probably be in 3019

[@jinraigami3349]

Yes, it is not a cheap product but In my country, Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 2 with 256GB, FHD costs around 2k. Consider a bigger SSD, screen and battery of this 16 inch, I think the price is reasonable.
