The MacBook Pro 16-inch might just be the best MacBook Pro to have ever existed.
The latest and greatest MacBook Pro 16 boasts stunning new features that improve on existing aspects, giving Apple fans more of what they love from the MacBook Pro lineup, according to Apple. This MacBook perfectly blends seamless performance with unparalleled usability.
New Old Keyboard
Say goodbye to the butterfly keyboards and hello to the return of scissor switches, the same ones found in the iMac’s Magic Keyboard. If you’re one of those who have struggled with the previous versions’ butterfly design, the return of the scissor-switch keys is something that you’ll be looking forward to. Apple has added a dedicated Escape key, and they have brought back the inverted-T arrow key layout.
Better Performance with a Faster Processor
The new MacBook Pro 16 comes decked with the latest 9th-gen Intel Core processor. Users can choose between the six-core i7 or eight-core i9 processor. The graphics have also been upgraded, featuring AMD’s 7nm Radeon Pro 5000M series graphics card, which is 2.1 times faster compared to that of the 15-inch MacBook Pro, according to Apple.
Bigger, More Vivid Display
The 16-inch display with thinner bezels boasts a native 3072×1920 resolution and a pixel density of 226ppi, sharper compared to the 15-inch MacBook Pro’s 2560×1600 resolution and 220ppi pixel density. The display offers excellent contrast, with its color-accurate Retina screen.
Larger Storage and Memory
The new 16-inch MacBook Pro can be upgraded to up to 64GB RAM and up to 8TB SSD. If you regularly work on tasks that require demanding programs such as video rendering, you’ll find this option very useful.
Better Thermals
It’s always a problem when your laptop starts to heat up and begins to slow down in order to keep up with the current workload. The thermals for the latest MacBook Pro have been redesigned and now feature thinner fan blades and some extra vents. It also features a larger heat sink, which helps with better heat dispersal.
Better Battery Life
Apple claims that the MacBook Pro 16’s battery can last up to 11 hours. Of course, battery life depends on usage. But if you’re only doing lighter workloads and don’t want to have to recharge often, this is definitely good news for you.
Overall, the MacBook Pro 16 has seen some incredible improvements that add to its performance and usability. Additionally, it comes with beefed up built-in speakers that produce clear sounds. The built-in microphone has also been upgraded and now features a “studio” array. Consider getting an upgrade if you’re looking for a powerful laptop that can keep up with heavy workloads and can last for hours on a single charge.
Thinking of switching to the MacBook Pro 16? Don’t just ditch your old laptop. You can always opt for a MacBook trade in or find the best place to sell laptop units for extra cash. What do you think of Apple’s latest MacBook Pro offering?
