Welcome to the new 16-inch MacBook Pro. While it looks quite familiar, Apple’s new flagship laptop moves the needle forward in a big way. We’ve spent the last several days taking the new Pro for a spin and can say that Apple has dutifully listened to users’ feedback this time around. Let’s talk about it.
We’re not certain when Apple last issued four updates to the MacBook Pro within 18 months, or to any laptop it has ever produced. But, here we are.
Just months after the last i9 MacBook Pro was released, Apple has unveiled its 16-inch MacBook Pro. The surface changes aren’t even obvious — the monitor is about a half an inch larger on the diagonal, and you can’t even tell that the machine is larger than the 15-inch 2016 MacBook Pro design.
Interestingly, it is actually smaller and thinner than the 2012 through 2015 model. You also can’t tell unless you’re looking at the three together.
There are three main configurations of the 15-inch MacBook Pro, one with a 2.6GHz Intel Core i7 processor, a 2.3GHz i9 model, and a 2.4GHz i9 configuration —effectively the same options as the 15-inch MacBook Pro from earlier in 2019. Depending on model, there are options for a AMD Radeon Pro 5300M or 5500M. For this review, we’re examining the 2.4GHz 16-inch MacBook Pro, with 512GB of flash storage, 32GB of RAM, and the Radeon Pro 5500M. The retail price on this configuration is $3,299.
