Honestly, the whole "you can get an equivalent Windows laptop for much cheaper" argument is shrinking. Top quality Windows laptops (Lenovo Thinkpad, Dell XPS, etc.) cost nearly the same as this, and sometimes they cost even more. With the improved specs at base configuration, the 16" MBP is looking like the most reasonably priced MBP of all time.
Ford sells the Continental. Mercedes sells the 5 class. Ford sells the Festiva. There is no cheap Mercedes. There is no cheap Mac...and no CHEAP Windows laptop is as good.
Definitely a good laptop. Still can't get used to lack of USB A ports. Also, I'd say the worst quality of the laptop is that it comes with Catalina installed. Catalina is one of those major "upgrades" that can cause a lot of problem with older plug ins and software. (Thanks Apple for the quarantine process!) Catalina is just not ready for prime time yet IMO.
Clearly this MacBook Pro must be immensely popular because every youtuber has done a reveal., A review., A week later review, And a month later review. Clearly getting a lot of views and likes. I bought one the other day and it’s awesome. The one thing I did compare though that reviewers fail to mention is the new Pro 16in is the exact same size and weight almost to the “T” as the retina 15in 2012-2015 but still slightly smaller and lighter than that model. Apple did a great job because no one thought that was big and the bigger screen essentially means it’s smaller. Love it.
Because of the butterfly keyboard problems that I had with my 2017 Macbook pro, I could convince Apple to replace my computer with a 2020 brand new Macbook pro! It took me 3 month to get my new computer and I am so happy with my new computer!
Got to agree, it’s an incredible laptop. I upgraded from the original MacBook Pro 15” retina model from 2012 that had got too slow (not bad for an 8 year old laptop to still be able to run Catalina though!), so the keyboard wasn’t too much of an issue for me, but the larger trackpad is actually a great change. Four USB-C ports is a great boon as well, much rather have that than the two USB-A ports, separate HDMI and charging port and card reader slot. Four multi-use ports is far more flexible, even if initially I need to replace previous cables and get some adapters or possibly a dongle. The card reader would be a nice to have for my photography work, but my camera came with a USB-C to SD card reader adapter that I can use either with an iPad or the MacBook Pro anyway. And the camera supports Wi-Fi transfers, so really even that isn’t strictly necessary. The side car feature is great as well - very useful. Not unique for the 16” MBP, of course, but it is a great feature. But I must admit I was very surprised that the camera is not appreciably better in image quality than the 2012 MBPr... I think that was the only thing that I’ve experienced so far that was a disappointment. Got any recommendations for dongles? There is such a bewildering array of them...
Well, if you do heavy video editing and code compilation then forget about the battery! Like it lasts for me maximum 3 hrs. If I use it as a normal person like browsing the web, music and documentation etc. it will easily go to 9-10 hrs. I can only complain about one and only one thing which is the webcam because I do Skype sometimes which is not a great experience. I rate this laptop 9.5/10 and I am coming from a fully maxed out 2016 MacBook Pro 13” which I give that one 6/10 due to power difference. Hope that helped buddy
I just got myself a 2018 15 inch MacBook Pro just about a few months ago & I think I'll stick with it until it stops working but so far I'm impressed with what Apple has done with this year's MacBook Pro 💻 👍
I have the 2018 15inch too, it's a great computer ( the soldered on SSD scares me a little though, it'll be a very expensive doorstop if it fails in a couple of years ) I'm moving more into VFX and 3D work though and for that it just doesn't cut it ( mainly because of Apples non support of Nvidia Cards and them dropping Open GL and CL support ) the new 16" won't do much to address this issue, neither would a Mac Pro so I have a new studio computer ordered and on its way. For the first time in 20 + years it's not an Apple.
I think it's important to let people know that you will get better battery life if you use the build in browser safari. Other nice things you will get if you use safari is more privacy and Apple Pay support.
The butterfly keyboard is a mess, yesterday I received my new 16 MBP and honestly I almost forgot what a good typing experience was😂, in my 15 MBP with butterfly I used to get some characters duplicated, others would simply not be typed randomly and writing code was a pain, of course I bought an external keyboard to ease the pain but right now I'm happy writing in my 16 in MBP

I love the bezels, the non-4K screen, the 720 cam, the absence of SD Card slot, no MagSafe, no Ethernet, no USB, no matte screen, no battery indicator, no glowing logo, heavier, thicker. No cellular. Especially the ESC key!!! So innovative. What is there not to love??? Such a 1999 device!
Actually the 3072x1920 display is close to 4K and is better than most laptops, the laptop you described there is literally 70% of windows laptops, also there is USB, it’s just Type C not A so fuck off boomer
I purchased the i9 with 8gb of graphics and 32gb of ram. 3300$ USD. Small discount through the education store (3050$) and free airpods (or 159$ off an AirPod upgrade). I added the AirPod pros for 90$ Small discount on AppleCare+ (20%). Paid a total of around 3700$ USD. Arrives on Tuesday.

He once said he is staying away from the better ratio because of foldable with different form factors... That's cool, but that's exactly why he doesn't the most subscribers - not putting in the work or lazy
You lost me at 16x10. Trust me, I'm a VFX Supervisor and Artist and MacBooks have been 16x10 for sooo many years. I know because often I am told to put 16x9 footage in a blank image of a MacBook pro so yeah, they've always been that aspect ratio. I was enjoying the video until then and made me question everything else. I am like that when I don't know the reviewer. I just bought the 16 decked out and I am just curious about general feelings out there. My audio stuff is making it so I have to run Windows too to make sure I can use all my hardware and some plugins that are 32 bit and always will be so I bought a 4TB so I can run both systems. Anyway, yeah, if you didn't know that, I had to move on. I like your clean set up and you're definitely not dumb, but I question how well you know the machines if you didn't know that. If I'm wrong, sorry but I don't think so unless someone had a 16 like 7 months ago on set. Yeah, just googled it, they have always been 16x10. I won't hit dislike but speak of what you know. The problem with social media. It's not TV, these aren't always pros. You're smart, and I appreciate your thoughts, but unlike the C-Net reviewer of this 16x10 MacBook, you just sort of feel like a dude I am chatting with about a MacBook and we know the same or maybe I know more even but I care about your concerns. Like I totally agree with you that they should have come with a different color. It actually makes me wonder if they aren't planning on dropping something next that will be huge. After the 13, I think they are going to jump to Enterprise, full portable workstation quality machines like that are out there for Windows systems. I mean, it's like having a jet engine on your lap but with horrible Windows systems, they can use RTX2080s and realtime previews with Refshift Engine in C4D. The new MacTower has that capability. It's so powerful and I think the MacBook it trending that way. If bench the speeds from last years model and the base model here with even single cpus they have doubled in some places. From the old max to the new min. I think they are gong to come hard and strong and expensive and they are going to want to let people know they have the WHATEVER and thats when we will see new colors like gold and black on the Pros. I'll stick with the grey silver though but rendering in realtime for some 3D. :) Did I ramble? sorry.
Why is everybody mentioning memory card readers? You can't plug in a mouse without a dongle, a hard-drive... and we talk about what happens if you need to edit a video and you can't find a dongle for your memory card? Not everybody is a youtuber...
I been really tempted to buy a Mac, but my problem with it is spending $2500(base model) on a laptop that I can't update the RAM or SSD drive on it later to extend it's life a few years down the road. Ideally, the thing to do is buy an upgraded model, but I don't have over $3k to spend on one either.
For most people who want charging on a plane a phone fast charger is the way to go. It'll be smaller, more portable and will give enough power to keep you running. Granted you won't get far video editing but makes for a great alternative. My 13" MBP runs typically between 6 and 8 hours so what type of flight am I getting on where 30-45W wouldn't be sufficient to get me to my destination? FWIW I use the 45W charger for the Samsung Note 10 as this will charge my MBP, S10, XS and S5e if/when needed without having to mess about other than an extra lightning cable for the iPhone XS.
Love your videos mate great to see someone from UK doing tech videos you and mrwhostheboss are great Merry Christmas and Happy New Years here’s to 2020 🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇺🇬🇧
I returned my MacBook on the last day returnable. The battery drains too fast and it gets over heated when it connects to external display(UltraFine 5K). The CPU usage keeps at 60% when idle.
Thanks for a great review! What are your thoughts on silver vs. spacegrey? I’m currently a MBP late 2013 user, back then they all came in silver, but I’m about to upgrade.
I actually really like the 16:10 aspect ratio for watching videos and movies. Why? Well, if I put this video in full screen on my MBP and pause it, all the video controls are on that black bar at the bottom where they are all easily visible and don't cover anything up. The title of the video appears in the top black bar and also doesn't cover anything up. If I turn on the captions, they mostly appear in the bottom black bar and only end up covering a little bit of the bottom of the image. When I do the same on my Windows gaming laptop, the image takes up the whole screen, but then the title, video controls, and captions all end up on top of the image.
Disagree that Apple makes their laptops lighter. They’re definitely heavier than most PCs, especially Lenovo. Never liked the aluminum build of MacBook pros, hope they find a different lighter material.
I plan to buy a 16 inch MBP in the next few days. I'm surprised that you bought yours with 16gb ram. Almost all UA-camrs say that 32gb is the minimum the people should go for, for future proofing mainly. I currently don't do any video editing but plan to do it in the future. But they will be simple videos, 4k at the most. What's your recommendation in terms of the ram size?
32 minimum. I dont edit. I develop with 2 external monitors with 1080p. And i used nealy 14 gb ram. And i didnt do anything heavy. I returned my 16 gb ram and ordered 32 gb ram 🙂
If I were to drop pushing THREE GRAND on a device, I would want everything to be top, top banana!! I mean COME ON....a 720p front camera in 2019/20??? Wtf? Why were Apple not totally ridiculed on that, on the product launch day? As for the lack of an SD Card reader, they haven't included one because that means they'll make millions more on selling dongles for it - no other reason.
It’s a good laptop, but I’d like an upgraded front camera, matte black, LTE, & even thinner bezels (ref Dell’s XPS) to upgrade over the previous model. Maybe push it to 16.5.
That camera didn't even look like 720. More like 480. Microsoft made the same mistake with Surface Pro 3. Sad, when you think you pay thousands and they give you this crap camera. I'd wait till it's revised. Also, I think it's OK for conf calling, but not for scanning documents. That's where I had a problem with the lo-res camera.
There is no way you are getting 7/8 hrs of battery. Apple’s claims of battery life are an outright lie at 11hrs. You are lucky to get 4hrs with blue tooth turned off and in eco mode doing nothing more than reading articles online. If you do anything else like watch UA-cam. 3hrs.
Enough with the SD card rubbish - the reason they don’t include one is that the sd card standards change so much every year that you’d be carrying a single anyway - ffs
Maybe is me and just me, but I feel that all of them (UA-camrs) they repeat and repeat again the same and the same, all the videos are the same. Just copy and paste themselves. But like I said maybe is just me.
They get paid by Apple. If you think they “have to tell you” if it’s sponsored you’re mistaken. UA-cam reviews are not regulated, they don’t have to tell you. They tell you every now and then to garner your trust that they will tell you if a particular video is sponsored, but they ALL are. This is an Apple ad.
@@YouGotPropofol you're stupid. Apple never pays anyone to promote their products. You're just an apple hater who just can't digest the fact that it's good. You wouldn't say that about Google or anyone else.
@@execuuute2409 yes, I've been considering to buy macbook pro 16" 2019 with specs below. It costs around $4,5k! It's insane! But what choice do I have? Is there any other brand with lower price but the same quality? - 2.4GHz 8‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 5.0GHz - 64GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory - AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 8GB of GDDR6 memory - 2TB SSD storage
How does the Retina Display hold up after a few months? Scratches easily, needs a screen protector? This is important for visual content creators as scratches or discoloration can interfere with the editing.
The only complaint I have is the lack of number pads. I don’t want that absolute best speakers on a laptop coz all in all those are still laptop speakers. I’d like to see Apple making use of the extra space to include a number pad.
It still is a dongle book pro so it sucks now they had space for usb3 and hdmi but they keep removing them which has no sense i hate dongles will never upgrade to this touchbar shit who wants a touchbar btw 🤷♂️
the battery life on this machine is a nightmare. Less than 3 hours surfing the web. Apple already exchanged the battery twice, they tried a new install and I spend 3 times of troubles shooting the issue on the software side with them. I have a 4 year apple warranty on this machine but they are refusing to acknowledge the issue or fix it other then exchanging the battery a 3rd time.
SOOOO bad about the crummy camera on the 16" MBP. 720! OK. Cam can you suggest a decent upgrade in the form of a clip on or a stand beside on a tripod large or small? Used with much lower price and higher quality would be welcome! I saw your 2017 video on the UA-cam you and your friends use. Update? You mentioned the camera you use on this video but too quickly for me to get it.
Just got this week my 16" macbook and my battery is draining quick while plugged-in when im playing some games or when doing benchmark tests.. for example if i started playing a game with 80% while the mac is charging, then after 1 hr the battery would be at 70% ... do you think that's normal or should i should get it replaced?
Are you using the original cable? ...or one that is rated for power of the charger. It just came into my mind that you _might_ be limited in the power supply by an after marked cable. How are you gaming on it? Do you stick to the MacOS Games or did you install BootCamp? I ordered mine this weekend and I also want to play some games on it. I‘ll use BootCamp and Windows once I figured out what to look out for while setting up BootCamp. One thing that I need to find out is what is actually true: • games can be installed on any/also MacOS participation of the SSD • or only on the Windows participation ... if last is the case I‘ll probably get myself an external SSD to run my games from there of, because I don’t want the Windows participation to be unnecessary big.
@@herrkeks8509 I'm using the original cable and power supply of course, and it happens in both OS, bootcamp and Mac OS... but right now it's not draining as much as it was before, don't know why .... about the games.. you can only install them on the bootcamp partition or a external drive...you should make the bootcamp partition like 47 GB witch is enough for windows and install all ur games on a external ssd so you can have more space on your Mac partition.
Lucas Costa Sounds good. Thank you for your reply. :) I‘m going to have 1TB, so I might leave 700 - 800 GB for macOS :) So that I have some space on both :) But I definitely will calculate the mentioned 50 GB in when deciding how much spare space I want on Windows :)
Macbook Air could be a start, but i highly recommend Macbook Pro. There isn't anything for starters or professionals when it comes to Macbook.. It just depends how you want to use em. Highly recommended specs:- i5 Processor 8GB Ram 256GB SSD (Storage) 13" inch
no backward compatibility , no downgradable , only 64 bit machine, no usb and card reader so you gotta buy some multi (powered) hubs ( costly , but there are knock offs for a reasonable price ) if you want to work with external gear ,every single app not downloaded from "certified" developer won't open unless you prompt the privacy setting screen every fuckin time , too much security... really ,is too much. it's an awesome machine indeed , really great screen , light , the built in audio system is crystal clear. it's awesome really ,but has some practical flaws , that , for me makes that unusable. i've returned mine .
All these reviews are excellent the same! Guys reads all the specs off apple "which we all have already read" they talk about editing video capabilities "assuming we all make videos" then they talk about the cons without even using the fuckin thing!
Is the i9 even worth it? For primarily music/audio production what is more important: the processor or the extra ram? I'm thinking of upgrading to 32gb of ram and staying with the i7. I can't do both as it will max out my budget, but I hear some people say that the i9 isn't even really worth it anyways because of thermal issues.
Go for the ram. A bit slower cou does everything....some of them a bit slower, More ram lets you do some things you can’t do with less ram....and many things faster
how did u get more than 8 hours on light use? my new refurbished MacBook 16 inch each charge does not even last me 4 hours ( no pro applications running and I made sure it's on integrated GPU)
Where did you get the skin for your 16"? I searched on the brand link and there is nothing showing for the 16" MacBook Pro. I like the skin you have and would like to get it.
Im currently looking for a laptop that would suffice for Final Cut Pro editing. Based off your video, I’m assuming I should have the laptop connected to a charge cord to keep it alive?

But 2000 pounds it's cheaper to send pigeons/dove to people to message them lol
Merry chistmas in advance! 🎄
You lost me at 16x10. Trust me, I'm a VFX Supervisor and Artist and MacBooks have been 16x10 for sooo many years. I know because often I am told to put 16x9 footage in a blank image of a MacBook pro so yeah, they've always been that aspect ratio. I was enjoying the video until then and made me question everything else. I am like that when I don't know the reviewer. I just bought the 16 decked out and I am just curious about general feelings out there. My audio stuff is making it so I have to run Windows too to make sure I can use all my hardware and some plugins that are 32 bit and always will be so I bought a 4TB so I can run both systems. Anyway, yeah, if you didn't know that, I had to move on. I like your clean set up and you're definitely not dumb, but I question how well you know the machines if you didn't know that. If I'm wrong, sorry but I don't think so unless someone had a 16 like 7 months ago on set. Yeah, just googled it, they have always been 16x10. I won't hit dislike but speak of what you know. The problem with social media. It's not TV, these aren't always pros. You're smart, and I appreciate your thoughts, but unlike the C-Net reviewer of this 16x10 MacBook, you just sort of feel like a dude I am chatting with about a MacBook and we know the same or maybe I know more even but I care about your concerns. Like I totally agree with you that they should have come with a different color. It actually makes me wonder if they aren't planning on dropping something next that will be huge. After the 13, I think they are going to jump to Enterprise, full portable workstation quality machines like that are out there for Windows systems. I mean, it's like having a jet engine on your lap but with horrible Windows systems, they can use RTX2080s and realtime previews with Refshift Engine in C4D. The new MacTower has that capability. It's so powerful and I think the MacBook it trending that way. If bench the speeds from last years model and the base model here with even single cpus they have doubled in some places. From the old max to the new min. I think they are gong to come hard and strong and expensive and they are going to want to let people know they have the WHATEVER and thats when we will see new colors like gold and black on the Pros. I'll stick with the grey silver though but rendering in realtime for some 3D. :) Did I ramble? sorry.
Why is everybody mentioning memory card readers? You can't plug in a mouse without a dongle, a hard-drive... and we talk about what happens if you need to edit a video and you can't find a dongle for your memory card?
Not everybody is a youtuber...
I been really tempted to buy a Mac, but my problem with it is spending $2500(base model) on a laptop that I can't update the RAM or SSD drive on it later to extend it's life a few years down the road.
Ideally, the thing to do is buy an upgraded model, but I don't have over $3k to spend on one either.
🔥I've been looking for a video like this. Thanks for sharing SuperSaf 🔥
👍
For most people who want charging on a plane a phone fast charger is the way to go. It'll be smaller, more portable and will give enough power to keep you running. Granted you won't get far video editing but makes for a great alternative. My 13" MBP runs typically between 6 and 8 hours so what type of flight am I getting on where 30-45W wouldn't be sufficient to get me to my destination? FWIW I use the 45W charger for the Samsung Note 10 as this will charge my MBP, S10, XS and S5e if/when needed without having to mess about other than an extra lightning cable for the iPhone XS.
Love your videos mate great to see someone from UK doing tech videos you and mrwhostheboss are great
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years here’s to 2020 🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇺🇬🇧
Bigger chassis, still no extra ports 😂
Supersaf: I would like more ports
Apple: THATS ILLEGAL!!!
I returned my MacBook on the last day returnable. The battery drains too fast and it gets over heated when it connects to external display(UltraFine 5K). The CPU usage keeps at 60% when idle.
how does battery drain when ultrafine charges it while plugged in?
@@apollovic 1. battery drains fast when unplugged 2. overheated when connected to UltraFine 5k.

Nice video, I think I’m going to buy one in a couple months
Love the skin on your 15inch macbook pro. Where did you buy it?
Thanks for a great review! What are your thoughts on silver vs. spacegrey? I’m currently a MBP late 2013 user, back then they all came in silver, but I’m about to upgrade.
Thanks, I prefer space grey personally
I actually really like the 16:10 aspect ratio for watching videos and movies. Why? Well, if I put this video in full screen on my MBP and pause it, all the video controls are on that black bar at the bottom where they are all easily visible and don't cover anything up. The title of the video appears in the top black bar and also doesn't cover anything up. If I turn on the captions, they mostly appear in the bottom black bar and only end up covering a little bit of the bottom of the image. When I do the same on my Windows gaming laptop, the image takes up the whole screen, but then the title, video controls, and captions all end up on top of the image.
Disagree that Apple makes their laptops lighter. They’re definitely heavier than most PCs, especially Lenovo. Never liked the aluminum build of MacBook pros, hope they find a different lighter material.
I plan to buy a 16 inch MBP in the next few days. I'm surprised that you bought yours with 16gb ram. Almost all UA-camrs say that 32gb is the minimum the people should go for, for future proofing mainly.
I currently don't do any video editing but plan to do it in the future. But they will be simple videos, 4k at the most.
What's your recommendation in terms of the ram size?
32 minimum. I dont edit. I develop with 2 external monitors with 1080p. And i used nealy 14 gb ram. And i didnt do anything heavy.
I returned my 16 gb ram and ordered 32 gb ram 🙂
@@moh6823 Thanks for sharing your experience and tip!
I agree with you, having the MacBook in jet black would look classy, the space grey is starting to lose its appeal.
If I were to drop pushing THREE GRAND on a device, I would want everything to be top, top banana!! I mean COME ON....a 720p front camera in 2019/20??? Wtf? Why were Apple not totally ridiculed on that, on the product launch day? As for the lack of an SD Card reader, they haven't included one because that means they'll make millions more on selling dongles for it - no other reason.
It’s a good laptop, but I’d like an upgraded front camera, matte black, LTE, & even thinner bezels (ref Dell’s XPS) to upgrade over the previous model. Maybe push it to 16.5.
That camera didn't even look like 720. More like 480. Microsoft made the same mistake with Surface Pro 3. Sad, when you think you pay thousands and they give you this crap camera. I'd wait till it's revised. Also, I think it's OK for conf calling, but not for scanning documents. That's where I had a problem with the lo-res camera.
There is no way you are getting 7/8 hrs of battery. Apple’s claims of battery life are an outright lie at 11hrs. You are lucky to get 4hrs with blue tooth turned off and in eco mode doing nothing more than reading articles online. If you do anything else like watch UA-cam. 3hrs.
Enough with the SD card rubbish - the reason they don’t include one is that the sd card standards change so much every year that you’d be carrying a single anyway - ffs
Maybe is me and just me, but I feel that all of them (UA-camrs) they repeat and repeat again the same and the same, all the videos are the same. Just copy and paste themselves. But like I said maybe is just me.
Maybe it’s the products since there is really only so much you can say
They get paid by Apple. If you think they “have to tell you” if it’s sponsored you’re mistaken. UA-cam reviews are not regulated, they don’t have to tell you. They tell you every now and then to garner your trust that they will tell you if a particular video is sponsored, but they ALL are. This is an Apple ad.
@@YouGotPropofol you're stupid. Apple never pays anyone to promote their products. You're just an apple hater who just can't digest the fact that it's good. You wouldn't say that about Google or anyone else.
You don't address the screen ghosting either? People returning their 16" in masses now
Amazing review!
But you know? Your channel really, i mean really needs a dark mode kinda thing.
Haha, I am hoping to paint the wall behind me a grey soon
Best laptop on market.
Seems like I'm gonna have to buy it, with a quarter of my saving 😞...
I hope this laptop will suffice well to my heavy needs for creating animation...
Get the higher spec one
@@lisalisa2606 Is there any better than this? I need the mobility
@@herzaislad Well there exists a higher specs MBP.
@@execuuute2409 yes, I've been considering to buy macbook pro 16" 2019 with specs below. It costs around $4,5k! It's insane! But what choice do I have? Is there any other brand with lower price but the same quality?
- 2.4GHz 8‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 5.0GHz
- 64GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory
- AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 8GB of GDDR6 memory
- 2TB SSD storage
@@herzaislad somewhat lower, & they often have clearance sales... lenovo
This laptop has loads of problems with playback of youtube videos, tons of cracks and slight skipping during music playback
How does the Retina Display hold up after a few months? Scratches easily, needs a screen protector? This is important for visual content creators as scratches or discoloration can interfere with the editing.
The only complaint I have is the lack of number pads. I don’t want that absolute best speakers on a laptop coz all in all those are still laptop speakers. I’d like to see Apple making use of the extra space to include a number pad.
Is anyone else having issues with the battery life? I've had it for a couple months and the battery seems to drain waaay too fast. (not refurbished)
Which CPU do you have?
@@Sparatan117 2019 macbook pro 16 inch.
2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
Definitely not making 11 hours on battery life over here.
It still is a dongle book pro so it sucks now they had space for usb3 and hdmi but they keep removing them which has no sense i hate dongles will never upgrade to this touchbar shit who wants a touchbar btw 🤷♂️
Should I buy this right now in 2020, when apple silicon macs are around the corner?
Her SuperSaf, was there a Macbook Pro 16 inch 2020 version released by Apple Please? Yeah 720 p front camera is crazy for Macbook Pro. Should be 4k.
Awesome bro lovely video
Thanks bro!
@@SuperSaf welcome 😲❣️
the battery life on this machine is a nightmare. Less than 3 hours surfing the web. Apple already exchanged the battery twice, they tried a new install and I spend 3 times of troubles shooting the issue on the software side with them. I have a 4 year apple warranty on this machine but they are refusing to acknowledge the issue or fix it other then exchanging the battery a 3rd time.
I hate the scissor keyboard...sad alone in my corner.
SOOOO bad about the crummy camera on the 16" MBP. 720! OK. Cam can you suggest a decent upgrade in the form of a clip on or a stand beside on a tripod large or small? Used with much lower price and higher quality would be welcome! I saw your 2017 video on the UA-cam you and your friends use. Update? You mentioned the camera you use on this video but too quickly for me to get it.
watch changed from right to left wrist....hmmm...LOL
I wish I had enough money to chomp on electronics.
Just got this week my 16" macbook and my battery is draining quick while plugged-in when im playing some games or when doing benchmark tests.. for example if i started playing a game with 80% while the mac is charging, then after 1 hr the battery would be at 70% ... do you think that's normal or should i should get it replaced?
Are you using the original cable? ...or one that is rated for power of the charger.
It just came into my mind that you _might_ be limited in the power supply by an after marked cable.
How are you gaming on it? Do you stick to the MacOS Games or did you install BootCamp?
I ordered mine this weekend and I also want to play some games on it. I‘ll use BootCamp and Windows once I figured out what to look out for while setting up BootCamp.
One thing that I need to find out is what is actually true:
• games can be installed on any/also MacOS participation of the SSD
• or only on the Windows participation
... if last is the case I‘ll probably get myself an external SSD to run my games from there of, because I don’t want the Windows participation to be unnecessary big.
@@herrkeks8509 I'm using the original cable and power supply of course, and it happens in both OS, bootcamp and Mac OS... but right now it's not draining as much as it was before, don't know why .... about the games.. you can only install them on the bootcamp partition or a external drive...you should make the bootcamp partition like 47 GB witch is enough for windows and install all ur games on a external ssd so you can have more space on your Mac partition.
Lucas Costa Sounds good. Thank you for your reply. :) I‘m going to have 1TB, so I might leave 700 - 800 GB for macOS :) So that I have some space on both :) But I definitely will calculate the mentioned 50 GB in when deciding how much spare space I want on Windows :)
Just bought one and the fan noise is driving me crazy very loud I can hear it in from another room. Is this normal?
Yeah dog
@@skionen1781 don't ever say dawg again.
Ivan Ivanov i leave it plug in don’t go out as much because of covid. So i cannot say
I always was a windows user but I would like to try the mac os . Any suggestions for a newbie? A cheap laptop?
Macbook Air could be a start, but i highly recommend Macbook Pro.
There isn't anything for starters or professionals when it comes to Macbook.. It just depends how you want to use em.
Highly recommended specs:-
i5 Processor
8GB Ram
256GB SSD (Storage)
13" inch
no backward compatibility , no downgradable , only 64 bit machine, no usb and card reader so you gotta buy some multi (powered) hubs ( costly , but there are knock offs for a reasonable price ) if you want to work with external gear ,every single app not downloaded from "certified" developer won't open unless you prompt the privacy setting screen every fuckin time , too much security... really ,is too much.
it's an awesome machine indeed , really great screen , light , the built in audio system is crystal clear.
it's awesome really ,but has some practical flaws , that , for me makes that unusable. i've returned mine .
My MSI GS65 crushes this
MacOS crushes Windows
I want this video one month later review thanks sir 🔥💓
All these reviews are excellent the same! Guys reads all the specs off apple "which we all have already read" they talk about editing video capabilities "assuming we all make videos" then they talk about the cons without even using the fuckin thing!
yeah
it has heating issues
maybe 14 inch one will not have any
Why u didnt include the fan noise issue wen connected to external monitor?!
Is the i9 even worth it? For primarily music/audio production what is more important: the processor or the extra ram? I'm thinking of upgrading to 32gb of ram and staying with the i7. I can't do both as it will max out my budget, but I hear some people say that the i9 isn't even really worth it anyways because of thermal issues.
Go for the ram. A bit slower cou does everything....some of them a bit slower, More ram lets you do some things you can’t do with less ram....and many things faster
so can the base model 16" handle after effects, final cut X, video copilot etc with 16GB ram 4gb graphics card?
Seems it can hey
now i paused, no SD card slot? Thanx God, shopping ended.
Wow I want to buy this but price like top to the sky
now you got another title different from the one "the tech chap" stole 😂😂
😂😂
how did u get more than 8 hours on light use? my new refurbished MacBook 16 inch each charge does not even last me 4 hours ( no pro applications running and I made sure it's on integrated GPU)
Dear saf
Samsung galaxy s10 plus prism silver color has launched. ...plz give us an unboxing and review of this color phone
Where is the notch?
Where did you get the skin for your 16"? I searched on the brand link and there is nothing showing for the 16" MacBook Pro. I like the skin you have and would like to get it.
We love that machine
Im currently looking for a laptop that would suffice for Final Cut Pro editing. Based off your video, I’m assuming I should have the laptop connected to a charge cord to keep it alive?
Yup.. all those awesome features that you can't enjoy longer than 4 to 5 hours. The battery sucks.
good video
