16 Inch MacBook Pro - Fixed!

NO MORE BUTTERFAIL KEYBOARDS. YESSSSSSSS

So where can I sell my kidney? And maybe part of my liver?

typical mainstream review...... THE KEYBOARD!!!!!
Damn, they made a horrible big mistake with the poor keyboards in the last generations. All they did was using the "old" keyboard again.... wow (not)
They upgraded the battery? Upgraded would mean for me: they made it REPLACEBLE again, but its SOLDERED, good luck replacing it yourself. I needed on my MacBook Pro 2010 already 3 batteries, including the original one, in overall around 2000 charging cycles.
The original 500 GB HDD was too slow for me after some years.... i replaced it easily with a 500 GB SSD.... good luck on 2019 model... OHH ITS SOLDERED.
Once, i break my screen...... getting an original (non glare) from ebay was easy... replaced it, but ofc i needed some experience/knowledge for this.... good luck at 16" model... OHH ITS SOLDERED!
I could have also upgraded my Ram, but there was no need for that, good luck on 16" MBP... (unfortunately) SOLDERED on the mainboard.

Yes, the 16" was a big step forward again, but is that special after so many steps in the wrong direction since nearly a decade?
I would recommend a proper windows business notebook, you get so much more per dollar. And this comment is from an Apple Fan, at least i was a fan years ago. But still using the 2010 MBP daily, also 2 Apple TVs (2. and 4. gen), an iPhone (SE, damn i love the small size), a Time Capsule for my automatic backup and as WLAN router and an iPad.

If Apple would have made at least the SSD and battery swappable, i would have bought the MacBook Pro 16" already, but since Apple dont like the customer anymore, Apple "died" for me at notebooks. But i bet, there will be enough idiots still supporting apple

Still has the useless touchbar. Still have to buy a handful of adapters to do any real professional work. For the price Apple is asking for the extra bits should be included. They were a decade ago and for 1k less.

Would not buy one for at least a year in case of further surprises from Apple.

Did you know about the issue when connecting the MacBook Pro 16-inch to an external monitor? The fans will go crazy and the machine will get very hot, if you check Apple discussion forums you will find an 11 page thread already.

Actually, the power adapter makes a good improvement on the performance. I know you don’t think in your initial video here that it made any difference, but in speed it does make about a 10% improvement by using the new adapter. I did read where if you had the machine going at 100% on all the Cores and the screen brightness up it actually used 106 W. That means that even with the new adapter The battery could still drain while using it.

Hey bro, I've been watching a lot your videos recently, I love your content, I'm a day trader and use the laptop exclusively for trading using the DAS Pro trading platform. I use a 13inch MacBook Pro 2017 16gmRam 512GB to power up two 24inch screens This trading Platform is windows based so I have had to partition using Bootcamp. The set up isnt the smoothest I have had issues with bluetooth and screen resolution, it kind of has a mind of it's own sometimes it's configured and times it just doesnt want to play. I'm looking at getting either a 15inch Dell XPS 7590 Oled 32Ram 1TB, Lenovo Extreme 2nd gen or the new 16inch mac which of course I'll have to partition in order to use DAS Pro (do you know if bootcamp slows down the processor because I'm having issues wiuth that currently on the 13inch or is this down perhaps that the current laptop isnt powerful enough) any way your thought please.

Thanks for the awesome video Dev. Would you recommend the i9 16 inch MacBook Pro to someone who is not a professional content creator but wants to edit 4k videos with Da Vinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro occasionally ?

What? Do people still talk about apple? seriously?

will this look will be the look of the macbook pro for the next 3/4 years ore will there be a new look in 2020?

Can you please test gaming on this maschine! How good are titels like Call of Duty Modern Warfare or Overwatch?! Thank you!

But can it play overwatch

Do a msi GL65 9sdk review please

apple know how to take money from ppl thats for sure

Please help, I want to buy a new laptop, I'm a graphic design student, my options are between this macbook pro 16' i9 and the zenbook pro duo 15' i9, qhich one is better? I work with many programs at the same time and I want a good screen

With this thickness, they can pack in any I/O they want. I see none useful. So in every way, they’re not really making a product that’s pro Sumer.
The deal too is the profit and revenue from dongles is just huge huge huge.

Apple is criminal syndicate that rips off customers.

Dave were you high or drunk or both while shooting this vid?

i just got my 16" macbook pro and i am typing this on my 2016 butterfly keyboard because i love this keyboard so much. why oh why did they have to give up on the butterfly. i LOVE the feel of it, the low travel and the click. the 16" is all spongy like sorta like my old 2012 imac.
will be interesting to see if i keep going back to my 13" with the butterfly and ignore my new 16".
yeah, yeah, i am the minority.

right now after several years you are telling me" After several years of poor offerings"? Are you going to say the same thing in several years to come? No problem, People forget what you said in the next day or two because they are idiots.

I like the review, I like the improvements, But I am not buying it. My chick is still waiting in bed for me. Gotta cut it short

Finally.
A customer friendly device.
After SO many years.
Congrats apple.

Some people are reporting an issue with the 16”MacBook Pro.
The speakers make a “popping” sound when they stop playing audio (watching a TVclip video or editing in Final Cut Pro).
Any thoughts on this? Have you experienced the same problem?
By the way, great video as always. Thanks

Listen guys, apple jump a generation of MacBook pro for getting more time to improve this 16inch model and fixed all problems. Now customers are happy they never been more enthusiastic for buying one. Again great marketing Apple!

1:35 you looked exciting lol

No, it's not fixed yet. I won't buy any Macbook from Apple until they bring back upgradable RAM and SSD. I'm staying with my Hackintosh Macbook for now.

I absolutely love this video 😂😂😂 I feel like you have been long waiting for this, and Apple listened as if they’ve been watching your MacBook videos in the last few years 😅

Dave have you taken money for promoting apple ? Lol 😂😅😅😅😅

Nice to see Apple starting to put function over form in there designs

Keyboard keyboard keyboard！ the only reason that gets me switching to the 16

3:53 How can a tech youtuber/person not only say "megs" instead of "gigs" and not realise it on the spot, but also when editing the video? 😢

0:53 'thicc'

Am i the only one who saw T H I C C on the 16 inch vers at 0:55?

can't wait to not be able to afford this

Apple must be having a party knowing that the boss Dave has endorsed new Macbook lol

so this or the imac 27 inch? It seems like they are equally powerful.

Why did you change the title?

This move can make other companies to improve thermals on flagship lineups especially Dell

Proud of Apple, I am planning to quit Windows because of how BS it is. Apple here I come!

Wow, I never thought I’d see the day Dave Lee won’t pan the MBP. Meanwhile, am I the only one that misses the low key travel and stability of the butterfly keyboard? Sure, the reliability issues are big enough to negate any other pluses, but I wish the new keyboard was more stable and had less travel. If you type really long documents, that extra speed from lower travel and greater key stability is a huge plus.

I still can't believe that Dave is standing in his videos. Oh yeah..and the laptop, who cares, too expensive.

They did not listen to what people wanted they listened to decreasing sales because they fucked up for years and years and people reached the point were they had become fed up with with crApple bullshit and their arrogance. crApple had no other chance but to release a new MacBook that is not complete garbage.

such a great business model. push out crappy hardware for years pretending you just don't care about the complaints of the users. then improve on some of those issues very late while you kept getting rich af, pretending like you are so great that you finally do something about those issues that had been around for half a decade and user satisfaction will skyrocket :D

Lets get couple things right first. Legal maximum capacity to lithium ion batteries in airplane is under 100Wh. New 16" mbp has 99,3Wh or something very close to 100Wh but not exactly 100Wh like they marketing on their website. Because 100Wh and over is not allowed to commercial airplanes.
Secondly apple didn't listen their power users, like all the professional media users. Why? well where the fuck is SD card reader and HDMI port huh? And please don't tell me that it didn't fit into that even bigger chase like last time. Also that keyboard is not an upgrade its downgrade since its the same type of keyboard as their 2015 model had before all that butterfly keyboard crap. Okay okay its key travel is shorter but still the technology behind it is exactly the same as 5 years ago. And the reason why they changed it is only money. Getting lawsuits and having replacement campaign's is not very cheap for anybody.

As a 2018 15" MacBook Pro owner I feel so fooled.

As someone that is a professional software developer, web developer, graphic designer, and amateur content (music and, to a lesser extent, video) creator, Apple's current gen MBP's have been a huge "meh." I only upgraded to the 2016 because my 2011 was basically hanging on to dear life, and I've since traded it in for a 2018 with basically base specs (since it was *still* faster than my $4400 MBP only two years earlier). Sure, it's much faster and much more responsive, and I really do like USB-C/TB3, but I've never felt the mobile experience was any better than an 8 year old machine - some things were done better (the touchpad and its weight) and many were done worse (keyboard, Touch Bar). This, however, is finally a MacBook Pro worthy of the Pro moniker. A physical escape key and *arrow keys that make sense*, not to mention a keyboard that gives you actual feedback when you type. The Touch Bar is now less of a "really, Apple, y u do that?" and more of a "oh, okay, this actually works" kind of thing (though it still needs haptic feedback and introduction into their wireless keyboards, IMO). The 1 TB and 2 TB SSD upgrade options are now within reach financially - the choice most people will make - but an 8 TB option for the clinically insane (or those that need to work on 4K footage without an external drive). And, from what I've seen in the benchmarks, the 5kM video cards absolutely *smoke* the Vega chips, even with the lowest powered option.
Finally, Apple has made a MBP that's excellent, simply by addressing its user's concerns.

It's the first apple laptop in years that I am prepared to spend that much money on.
Apple has been taking everyone for a ride with their MacBook pros for the past few years.

full of poo

Hating Apple now! Bought my MacBook Pro 15 -late 2018 (i9 2.9 GHz, 32 GB Ram, Vega Pro 20 and 1 TB SSD) for £4,403. Now, Apple released this and I need 64 GB Ram now!

thicc

Hey Dave. I really wanted to know how good this device is for 3D animation involving complex scenes. Also, how is the overall performance when compared to other RTX studio laptops.

another great heating device for winter?

This is my dream book but it doesn't matter b'cuz i can't afford it😥

So keyboard upgraded from complete disaster butterfly to total trash imac keyboard, rejoice, fanboys.

Apple just scammed all of their MacBook Pro customers since 2016. But it’s good to see, that they improved so much, that the current base 16” Model is a good value.

New Radeon Pro 5500M chips are Navi architecture, by the way. They're EXTREMELY good.

Bro you look like you haven't slept since the 15 inch

0:55 2019 macbook pro yes its "thicc" not thick

They almost cared. Dedicated graphics are still arse. No card reader to speak of. io still not good enough. Repairability is horrendous the T2 chip is a fucking joke.
Apple are still being anticompetitive dip shits.
This thing doesn't go far enough. Apple have a lot of catching up to do and a lot of earning the trust of consumers back. It's too bad consumers don't really know just how fucked they are being.
The screen is pretty great but 100hz would have gone a long way.
