I decided to stay with the i9 Intel because I loved the ability to use both Windows and MacOS back and forth (without having to pay extra) For what I need personally, I think this laptop works amazing. I am not seeking to throttle a laptop to its MAX with heavy usage. Most of the stuff I use it for is handled very well with virtually no lag. It's honestly exactly what I needed.
It seems Every Intel Mac user experienced lack of performance when M1 macs were launched. 2014 macbook with 8gb RAM is still capable machine it is no match for M1 but it can get the job done eventually
Hello! i currently use a 2017 13 inch MBP, I study Computer Science so i have to use Windows a lot when using specific programs in my studies but i have the complete apple ecosystem, so I was planning to upgrade to this MBP with the i9 + 32 GB + 1000 GB configuration so I can use 500 GB for both systems, and considering MacOS Sequoia is supported on this machine, will it be worth it? i mainly just use my current MBP for simple coding using JetBrains and some lightwork using the MS Office 365 Suite Online. thanks !
@@aslah I have, but the problem with Apple silicon is that they don’t support bootcamp so I can’t run windows on it natively, and the some of the programs I use with windows require me to plug hardware in order to install firmware in it.
Planning to buy this 16 inch 2019 i7 macbook pro. Will be using this for front end web development and ui/ designs. So will be running intellij code editor, adobe photoshop, figma. What do u think?
@@aslah i want to use it for embedded system programming and robotics so what is better 2019 i9 9th gen 16gb ram 1tb ssd 4gb dedicated graphic card or m1 mcb pro 8gb ram and 256 gb ssd please reply faster i kinda have to deal till evening (ist)
Thank you for that very good analysis. I would go for one more advantage: If you need to run x86 Virtual Machines, an Intel Mac is a must since M1-Macbooks are not yet capable to do that properly.
yup...intel perfected that and M! or m3 will take a awhile since they are not tested yet and always buggy. Not worth my time to sit around and fix bugs and crashes.
@@MM-qt6yn same I was looking at the M3 models cause at this price point and maneuvering of Apples MacBook Pro line up it is clear, "Which model for your needs?" and if you want overkill...SADLY...you pay for it, it's a fair trade. and a honest price point vs. a super current windows laptop from high end brands, I own a 2018 i7 w/ 550 32gb and a 2019 i9 w/ 550 32gb both 15 inches. Honestly, I'm going to ride them out. see what happens by 2025.
i was thinking of getting one solely because i could run a dual boot os with this processor and it would help since im a cyber security student and i need a budget windows. what do u think ?
I purchased mine from a Best Buy (i7, 5300M, 16GB, 1TB SSD) reseller and it was an absolute HORRIBLE choice, the laptop itself is amazing, the screen is nice and spacious, the keyboard and trackpad are awesome, I love the Touch Bar and the speakers are incomparable to any other laptop. Luckily my unit doesn't really get too hot and the fan noise is a treat compared to any other gaming laptop. The thing that pushed me to ask for a refund was the horrible laggy and sluggish animations, everything takes forever to open and there are these "skips" every 10 seconds or so that ruin the experience, Mac OS is supposed to be fluid and fast but with this laptop it is absolutely unusable if you have used any modern windows or m1 laptops. I even tried reinstalling the entire OS but the lag is still very persistent as well as the "skips", especially when using the trackpad. If you want a FAST and RELIABLE laptop, DO NOT get this laptop, NO MATTER HOW CHEAP IT IS. Do yourself a favour and get a refurbished m1/m2 air/pro. It's such a shame that such a nice machine gets killed by Apple just to make the newer laptops seem better, I can't believe that when I installed Bootcamp, Windows 10 feels SMOOTHER than Monterey OS(which is the default OS!!). LET THAT SINK IN! Edit: scrolling through the comment section on YT, waiting for basic websites to load like FB, Reddit, Twitter, Best Buy takes FOREVER.
Wow! I never had these issues. Trackpad is one my fav feature on this thing. Do you think the lag can be from a slow internet connection? My biggest complaint is the heating when running heavy apps. And also we cannot forget this was the Top of the line MacBook until Oct 2021, just when they released their new M1 line up.
@@aslah nope, it is a lag in the operating system. When I use windows 10 via bootcamp it feels responsive and smooth, but whenever I am on Mac OS, it's slow and the animations are super laggy!
My feeling right now and want to tell everyone that m1 chip up is not support x64 or i can say it can not install window,linux version 64bit. so it hard for who use macbook for vmware or cyber security , network, or software engineer or developer who want to add more languages which is related to use vmware. thanks, i am m1 chip user. i am a full stack developer. i hate my m1 macbook. maybe next month i would buy intel 2019 16inch macbook pro. every reviewer, they almost don't mention it on their video. they just follow another to another like oh wow, oh M chip is awesome, better battery, fast ..... shit. Good night
For coding tasks (VS Code etc) - will this work good? or the fan will keeep on whirring even for that task. I am assuming MS Office type tasks should be fine? Do you still recommend it overall? Thanks.
@@aslah I only need it for VS code. Also was wondering if i install windows using parallels, do i have to buy windows license and if yes, how much that cost?
@@dummyemail4738 Mate, I use VSC on my 2013 macbook pro with zero issues or fan noise, I just bought the 2019 MBP and I can assure you it will not be a problem in any way.
Do you think intel Macs are still worth it? 💻
Absolutely... they're still worth it cos most software still runnvia Rosetta...
The more relevant question is, do you think the new one worth twice the price or more?

@@samyakjain4132 is there a specific requirement that your work requires intel?
Can I get the link to the thing for the bottom to have it elevated for the heat thing
Here you go - amzn.to/3qt4QZV
How's the battery life while ur coding? m a CS student and plan to buy one 2019 16 inch.
Battery life is normal. Nothing crazy good or bad. With the heating it does take a toll on the overall life tho.
Thank you for that very good analysis. I would go for one more advantage: If you need to run x86 Virtual Machines, an Intel Mac is a must since M1-Macbooks are not yet capable to do that properly.
Indeed! I picked up an i9 16 inch for that reason, got it for a really good price aswell.

You need to force it to use discrete GPU to avoid lags
