@@mplovecraft If they'd had a keynote for this, the would have HAD to have talked about the keyboard. And they really don't want to talk about the keyboard.
Thank you, Apple, for finally listening. I went from a 2018 model back to a 2015 model because I could not live with the keyboard. And I did not even have a faulty one - it was just a matter of the ergonomics. I could not feel my way around it, it felt terrible to type on, could never find the esc key and git the touch id by accident all of the time. The external magic keyboards are great in my opinion, so I'm having my hopes up for this.
Zaki Wasik how can you get confused with Touch ID and esc button. There are on different sides. And personally I love the butterfly keyboard. Only scissor keyboard I love are the ones that Lenovo uses.
Rameez Raza Riaz I think they mean that they accidentally hit the TouchID button by accident through normal use, not that they hit the TouchID thinking it’s the ESC key.
Antenox hitting the Touch ID button doesn’t do anything when the computer is on? Also have you tried clicking the Touch ID key? It’s hella firm to the touch, you can’t just “accidentally” hit it
@@booooooooooooooooooooooo I was talking about hitting the Touch ID button by accident. I had multiple users on the machine and just touching the button would send you to the fast user switching login screen. 🤦♂️Happened almost every time I was trying to use the backspace key.
@@UwUKris Great that you are having a good experience. I did care. So much that I sold the machine and bought an old version. I'm a software engineer and I type all day. But if you don't care, feel free to not upgrade.
Still hanging on to my Late 2013 15" retina. Thing has been a champ. One of the last good ones. But once this starts to slow down, I'm not scared of switching after this new 16" update
The fully-loaded version with the 8TB option is $6,099. That's about the same as the 4TB option a couple of years ago. Nice progress. Too bad our storage needs, with 46 megapixel photos and 4K video, have increased just as much if not more. Still, I'm glad it's available so I can have about one year's worth of online storage for my photos and videos.
Often times the greatest progress is to aknowledge when something "new" is not working better than the "old", and scrapping it. Always best to design "new" from something old that works than something that doesn't. Was great that Apple tried to make a butterfly keyboard! But they held onto the concept waaaaaaaay to long. That didn't do them or the consumers any favors. Was great for Microsoft competition, though!
Apple we don't care that you screwed up with the last few years' macbook pro. Thank you for finally not being ruled by pride and giving us what we want with keyboard/battery life/thermals. I want an sd card slot though. Yours truly, still 2015 macbook pro user.
Next Level Code it would be great if they make it as a replacement for the current keyboards. But the cost of implementing it in existing models will be even higher
Please run an extensive test on the Touch Bar. In my opinion, if ANY of the functions don’t perform ONCE it is a failure and should not be on the machine. As a musician I need to have the play/pause button displayed always so I set the Touch Bar to show the original keys. I’ve done this on every MPB they’ve released with the TB and with normal use it always fails to work 5/10% of the time. Not to mention other functions getting stuck or not working sometimes either
I have zero issue with the keyboard. I think it was all a bit blown out of proportion. Have purchased over 80 for my business over the past 4 years, zero problems.
Im in college and know one person who has a 15" mbp, a CS major, and it's the 2015 one I know a LOT of people with 13" airs and pros. I don't see that happening until a 13" refresh

Apple stated the individual keys are repairable, which is a huge advantage versus having to replace the entire chassis. Would love to see that tested out, i.e. pop a key off and replace it without any damage.
I have an early 2013 MacBook Pro, the first one with retina display and it is still a solid hardware. The only reason I want to change it because it’s been 6 years that I bought it. Honestly I never owned any hardware this long that to be still in such a good decent working order and performant for its age. I was waiting for something worthy to replace with and I think this is the model. I will buy it!

@@booooooooooooooooooooooo I don't want to walk around carrying dongles.

@@booooooooooooooooooooooo It is still a hassle because it involves buying extra accessories and having a couple dongles always jutting out of the side of the Mac. The much more elegant solution would be to integrate a couple USB ports in the first place. Apple went with solely with Thunderport 3 because they have a financial stake in it, not out of any benefit to the customer.
One interesting bit about the screen - the specs page now says it officially supports different refresh rates - including all of the common "video" refresh rates. "Refresh rates: 47.95Hz, 48.00Hz, 50.00Hz, 59.94Hz, 60.00Hz" - so double "NTSC 24 fps", double _actual_ 24 fps, double NTSC 29.97 fps, plus double PAL 25 fps. I'm kind of surprised they didn't go for Dolby Vision certification. (The specs do say it supports Dolby Atmos playback!)
What I like of the 2019 model is that the entry model has standard 16GB RAM and a standard 512GB SSD disk. That saves money! I was looking to an Windows machine as replacement, but it is likely that I change my mind. Lots of developers are switching right now from a Mac to a Windows laptop .... just because Apple is asking to much money.
How long can it sustain a clock speed? Fps gains in gpu, blender bench marks would be great! ( 3d rendering ) Fusion 360 work flow! Video export time Key board reliability Battery drain test plz Ohh and last disk read / write speeds
I know nothing about laptops and computers but they should but the touch bar as more of a touch pad down the side of the keyboard (where you would rest your hands) with more options and overall fine control
Really wish I could afford this laptop! The speakers are phenomenal, the monitor is gorgeous, and the new keyboard is actually super nice to type on. Now that my iPad is basically my main device I wouldn't totally mind a larger laptop (my current one is 13") for the extra power on the go.
Running a late 2018/ 2TB/ 32GB and while sure I miss the SD card slot I fell in love with USB-C and it’s performance. Only thing and probably main reason that I would consider switching: the new arrow keys. What the fXXk was apple thinking on the old models not giving the arrows keys any space. The amount of times I misclicked in Lightroom probably cost me more time than a new MacBook would cost....
What I want to know: Does it justify the price premium over a windows laptop with a more powerful GPU and better IO? Or to put it another way, is the only reason to buy one of these if you really want/need MacOS?
Yes, the only reason to buy one is want/need MacOS. You have to decide which OS is suitable for your needs and then decide hardware. If you are windows user and blindly buying Mac for its polished hardware then you are going to get disappointed, coz it will not fit for your expected windows use cases.
FYI, when windows machines directly compete with macbooks, they cost the same. Like the Lenovo Carbon w/4k monitor...it costs as much or more! The cheap windows machines are cheaper...because they use "full hd" displays...which are as dated and restrictive for productivity as spinning HDDs.
RR Sharizam I personally don’t like numpads even on desktop keyboards . They either force the rest of the keys off center on laptops or your mouse has to move further away causing more shoulder strain.
What do you think about the new keyboard?

If you are windows user and blindly buying Mac for its polished hardware then you are going to get disappointed, coz it will not fit for your expected windows use cases.
macos is very fluid and smooth, and the value of a mac keeps it even after many years when you want to sell it
FYI, when windows machines directly compete with macbooks, they cost the same. Like the Lenovo Carbon w/4k monitor...it costs as much or more! The cheap windows machines are cheaper...because they use "full hd" displays...which are as dated and restrictive for productivity as spinning HDDs.

A 13/14 inch version of this would make me think to update from my perfect 2012 16gb 1TSSD MacBook Pro, that still runs Catalina like butter.
I just bought a 15inch MacBook Pro more then 14 days ago... can I return it to trade in for this?
16" but no numpad?
Do Apple fans not use numpad?
RR Sharizam I personally don’t like numpads even on desktop keyboards . They either force the rest of the keys off center on laptops or your mouse has to move further away causing more shoulder strain.
Apple only gave new MacBooks to those who won't test thermals
Speaker comparison would be great to watch
Apple should bring back the glowing logo in the back, sd card reader, and classic usb port, that's all what I need
I wonder will MacBook Pro have 10bit displays or 120fps displays by 2025?
is it faster than my 2008 aluminum SSD swapped macbook lol
high five, I have the same one :D
Not when you drop it off the top of a building, if that's what you mean …
My 2013 Macbook Pro still works perfectly fine
Please give this new keyboard a lot of attention n your full review.
when they add the ports in the next one, then I'll buy it
With the same starting price, this new MacBook Pro now starts at 512GB SSD. Well done Apple!
This really is the “we listened” model.
Thank you for the keyboard sound comparison at the end. I was hoping someone was going to do that!
Finally, I can replace my 2013 MacBook. I've had to wait way too long for a keyboard that works reliably.
