The laptop this new MacBook is replacing lasted six years and has only JUST begun having issues because it can't update to the latest OS. We always buy the "latest and greatest" Macs because we know they'll last us several years before having to be replaced.

Was one of the first ones in the store to buy the Base MBP 16 when launched. Liked it, but felt mine had some thermal constraints surprisingly with i7. Called Apple many time to troubleshoot and was advised an exchange. BB guys are always great to help and solve issues within their reasonable capabilities (and some beyond) which I truly appreciate. Luckily they had the i9 in stock which they matched the price (from thanksgiving) and exchanged it. NOW I CAN FEEL THE DIFFERENCE in performance. No wonder i9's are always sold out or wait listed. I would avoid i7 on this (as its similar to 15.4) buy i9 as it has made a great improvement instead. My use is mainly graphical and less rendering now, but I'm sure this can handle more complex needs in the future. Tried XPS 7590 too, liked it for 2 days before it "started launching" like a rocket and generating enough heat to "act like a small room heater"..literarily . THIS IS GOOD.

Apple has engineered an amazing machine in the 16 inch MacBook Pro. Incorporating old principles like the keyboard with new design and horsepower had made this machine top of its class. A true portable masterpiece of a laptop. High price tag, but if you’re on the fence, you’ll see where that money went when you use it, customize it to your needs, and play around with the apps already on it right out of the box.

First off, it sounds like hogwash every time Apple announces a new and improved product, always doing just enough to call it new. Well, in this case, they have genuinely nailed it! Let’s start with the keyboard...gone are the horribly lackluster and problem laden butterfly keyboard. Time and again I’ve had problems with its design from the start. Keystrokes were stiff, little travel and overall buggy problems. Happy to say that is all gone! Apple has gone back to the scissor-switch keyboard design and it’s immediately noticeable. The lush, long travel feel of the key strokes are intoxicating! The feel is so much better from before that it makes everything more enjoyable. Have a 10page essay u need to write? Go right ahead and get lost in the loveliness and feel of the keystrokes. Battery life. Once again battery life has been a topic of discussion and rightfully so. We get a maximum size battery allowable on airline flights and it’s efficient as ever. Apple claims an hour longer battery life and I can attest to getting just over 1h28m longer than previous model running the same tests. Thinner bezels. The increase in screen real estate isn’t too noticeable until you see it side by side with the old model. The refreshing Thinner sides make it feel and look much sleeker, much like the difference between the bezels of the 2nd gen IPad Pro and 3rd gen IPad Pro—-just better and more updated that before. Speakers. Speakers are downright scintillating! The sound cancelling effect here is really amazing. Music doesn’t distort even at high levels and has a pure, rich and full sound to them. Not sound at status but definitely the best sounding laptop speakers ever by a mile. Last but not least, the dedicated escape key and inverted arrow keys make productivity a breeze. Same goes for the separated Touch ID button now located at the top right. Lots of people will say that improvements are marginal but until you experience how good the updates actually are, we’ve got a diamond in the rough that’s been polished and shined to a reveal a marvelous Gem! Keep it up Apple and thx for Eratech profitable price!!

We love this computer. The screen is amazing, the keyboard is soft and easy to use and the Touch ID and touch bar make things so much faster and convenient. A dock is a must have add on to add on all the ports the MacBook doesn’t come with. We hooked up a 4K tv as our “monitor“ so we have a nice and big screen to edit with. This is our fist MacBook but we have iPhones and iPads so it’s not a bad learning curve.

Purchased this to replace my trusty 2009 MacBook Pro. The 2019 model does not disappoint. The laptop is super light weight and holds an insane 10 hour charge! The upgraded i9 processor speeds allow me to run my music production software along with all the necessary plugins required for mixing without slowing a bit! These things are incredibly expensive however and the lack of variety in ports create an additional expense (buying all the compatible dongles).

The screen is bigger with faster video cards, RAM is upgradeable to 64GB, storage can be had from 500GB to 8T and the keyboard is improved with a new key spring architecture and much, much more.

Overall better keyboard design and ergonomics. Last year’s model didn’t have the screen brightness and resolution that I needed for photo editing. This one does better and it has a 1TB hard drive with a better video card and adjustable refresh rate. More importantly managers at my local store made an exception and let me exchange last year’s model for the newer 16in although I was a few day beyond the return period.

It was purchased for my wife, and she hasn't had it long. However, first impression is that it is much faster than her previous Apple Mac Book Pro. The graphics memory and increased RAM make it much more enjoyable for her to work with. The SSD drive makes boot up much faster, and she really appreciates that. It's impossible, at this point, to know just how much of an effect the i9 processor has had. For me, it's not the most attractive Apple I have seen, but the performance is impressive. I miss the illuminated Apple Logo, but since it was purchased for my wife, and she doesn't really care much for aesthetics, it's not big deal. A ten key pad would be nice, but my wife really doesn't care about that either. Thank you ERATECH.

After buying two Windows laptops and having build quality issues, it was refreshing to open up a device that was simply...perfect. I'm one of the few people who loved the butterfly keyboard, and the updated keyboard on the 16", though excellent by any standard, isn't my favorite to type on. Just based on appearances, I highly doubt this will have the same issues with dust and sticky keys that plagued users of the older MBP's. Speakers are incredible. Older models already have better speakers than any Windows device; Apple's sound engineers must be working with voodoo magic. My only complaint is the trackpad size. I prefer my wrists to rest at the base of my hand, and this is how 99% of laptops (including in this form factor range) operate. However, the trackpad on the 16" is so huge that the semi-sharp edge of the device digs into the middle of my wrist while I type. Apple's trackpads are already amazing and I don't see why they couldn't have shrunken it by 1" and moved the keyboard deck down to give a more industry-standard typing experience. Amazing machine otherwise.

I have been using the largest most upgraded last model 17" Apple made in late 2011. I've used this laptop for 7 years. I'm a full time film director by trade, but on my projects I offline/online edit, offline VFX, write and make complicated decks to pitch my material. The old Mac has been doing a fantastic job hopping between After Effects, Photoshop, and Premiere. But at the end I was maxing my machine. Worked great until this summer. I literally got laughed at at meetings and made a lot of people on planes irritated, but I held strong. This is the upgrade I have been waiting for. Since the 17" went away I feel like Apple has been working out all the kinks for the last 5 years. This is the machine that will get me through another 5 years. As a pro I HATE to upgrade my computer its like loosing an old friend so believe me when I say, use the last 7 years of MY research and buy this computer. I would not have said this about any of the previous MAC books that came out before this. This is the same purchase I made 7 years ago. Thanks MAC for listening to us. Oh and I skipped all the lame keyboard issues this thing feels just like my old one. There are little MAC things that I could drum up for the negatives, but if you know MAC these are "quality problems" compared to using a windows machine. If you know your stuff this is a no-brainer. Onward! Eratech is definitely the besT!

Every time Apple does a significant design update I jump in and I’m good for another 3 years. This time though I’m elated. The new 16 is a joy and a beast. Screen is wonderful, Keyboard is great, power is dramatic, slightly heavy. Bonus: I no longer travel with external blue-tooth speaker, built-in 6 speakers are an unexpected plus.

In my experience this laptop has the most beautiful display and the best sound in a laptop. The keyboard is good too. But the heat generated bothered me a lot. Especially when I ran virtual machines.

Got rid of my 2018 MBP 13” for the i9 16. While it is heavier and bigger to lug around the screen is absolutely immersive and a thing to behold. Use it for healthcare and had 30 pt records open in 30 different tabs in Chrome and not a glitch Nor performance issue. Full-size keyboard is nice and a 4 ports are nice, as you can charge on either side. Using it with Apple TV and or another screen using the new sidecar function makes for a powerhouse for presentations and group work projects. In sum: best laptop out there for folks with $$ to spend.

As someone who’s owned both 13’ and 15’ MBP from the butterfly era (2019 13’ and 2017 15’) , I realized after using this machine how much the little quirks from those laptops annoyed me, and how fixing them with this model has made it a joy to use... First off the keyboard. The butterfly keyboard never grew on me. Usable? Yes. Enjoyable? Not if you’re typing for extended periods. My fingers always felt a little sore after a few pages. These feel cushy, springy, and just all around much more nice to type with. Honestly the new keyboard gets me a little too excited lol. Second, the screen. You wouldn’t think .6 inches of added space would make a difference, but it does. The screen feels so much more modern and immersive and gives me more space to fit In documents and web pages without compromising their size. Also, I do feel like it is just a tad sharper than my previous 15’, even though it’s only 7 ppi more. Bright and colorful as always. My other major factor with my previous 15 inch was battery. I would always have battery anxiety when out and about. Although it would last a respectable 6-7 hours depending on usage, the battery percentage would click down just a little too quickly for my liking, and it would always be at the back of my mind. This machine has alleviated that. No, it’s not as good as my old MacBook Air, but I definitely don’t check the percentage anymore. Even watching YouTube, writing documents, surfing the web, using Spotify, I get a comfortable 8-9 hours WITH about 75% brightness. Finally, the speakers. Oh the speakers. These are just *chef’s kiss* magnifique. Rich, nuances, loud, clean, I honestly can’t listen to music on another laptop after these. It’s ruined me. Overall I’m so pleased with Apple. I was always a fan, but this really solidified them in my mind as the premiere best all around manufacturer of laptops when considering the OS as well. AND the same starting price as original 15’ with more storage and updated almost all other internals?! Well worth the .3 lbs it adds to my backpack. If you’re considering this and you have the cash, get it. Its honestly a no-brainer.

This is a great upgrade from the 15.4" model. Going up to 16" may not sound like a big deal, but the smaller bezel and the addt'l real estate makes for a much more immersive experience albeit with the penalty of a heavier and bulkier laptop. The screen is excellent (on par with other recent MBPs). The keyboard is definitely improved, with more travel and a better overall feel. The keys no longer feel "flat" and clacky. The speakers and mic are a huge improvement. I'm very impressed with the depth of sound from 10 to 80%; once you get above 80% volume a little distortion starts to creep out. This 1 TB model seems to be the price sweet spot. Start adding more memory or hdd space, and the price can skyrocket. This model runs Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro without a hitch. The body of the laptop (including the touch pad) stay noticeably cooler than my 13" MBP. Overall, this is a nice laptop. I still do think, however, that the Microsoft Surface line overall is a better value. At nearly $3,000, AND WITH 50% DISCOUNT ON ERATECH, it's kind of hard to understand what you're getting. I think the answer is that the high price tag is the price of being in the Apple ecosystem; almost like an access fee. If you love the Apple ecosystem OS X, then this is a great laptop. Not exactly a great travel companion due to the heft, but fine around the house, the office, or around town.

Great computer for editing and work! I love the look of this MacBook Pro and especially the fact that the 2015 MacBook keyboard is back with improvements. The Touch Bar is disassociated from the ESC key and is bigger than ever. The screen truly looks stunning!

Traded up my 2018 15” to get the 2019 15” just to have this announced a couple days later. Long story short, I returned my 2019 15” and got this beauty! Fast powerful, great sound, nice and crisp and obviously the upgraded keyboard. Great machine!

I am so happy they finally ditched the horrid, truly terrible butterfly keyboard and moved back to the scissor keyboard. There is a bit less travel on this new 2019 model than on my 2015 model (which I still love and am writing this review on), but it is a huge and welcome improvement. I love the new 16" display as well, which is a real bonus. Apple is back with this laptop. I only wish they had done this with their 2019 update earlier this year, which I do have and is going for sale on eBay.

Glad I waited years for them to finally get rid of the butterfly keyboard. If you are suffering with the butterfly keyboard, trade that crap in and buy this. You won't regret it.

I have owned each iteration of the MBP 15 (as well as numerous PC laptops), since the 2016 release. The MBP 16 is easily the best of the MBP bunch and performance/dollar finally seems to be becoming more reasonable. For the same price as the prior MBP 15, you now get: *** Better keyboard. This version is significantly more pleasant to type on and should leave the reliability issues of the butterfly keyboard behind. *** Better cooling. The laptop still runs hot, as do all with these CPUs, but it runs at higher clockspeed for longer. Depending on workload, I'm usually seeing at least a 10-15% improvement in CPU performance *** Much better GPU. This was my primary reason for upgrading, the 5500m is MUCH faster than the 560x and even the Vega 20 *** Better display and battery. For such a small increase in display size, it really feels more significant and is a great form factor. Battery life should also be slightly improved due to the larger 100WH battery, but I've only had limited experience on battery at this time *** 1TB storage vs the prior model 512GB at this price point All in all, while you are still paying an "Apple Tax", it at least feels that you are now getting performance and specs more in line with what you would expect for a $2700+ laptop. I foresee my PC laptop finally being relegated to the sidelines. ERATECH is the BEST!

Bought my MacBook Pro 16inch, yesterday..So far so good.. Loved the updates in the keyboard and the speaker systems. Its little heavier though, than the other versions, but I'm ok with it. This one is really a powerful machine, with top notch performance. Too good for multitasking and for running high performance tasks.The product is worth the price. I'm happy that I took the space grey color.. Its too good.

I've not cared much about bezels either way, so the reduced bezels aren't a big deal to me, but the more edge to edge display does look nice. Otherwise, the color and saturation of the display is at Apple's usual standards. The speakers are fantastic. Take a listen to "Sound of Silence" by Disturbed on the Conan show and I cannot imagine how you'd not be impressed by the depth of sound. I've been listening to various genre's of music on Spotify and just wow. They physical ESC key is nice and you can feel it by touch, especially if you tend to go towards the left of the key and work your way back so you don't hit anything on the Touch Bar. I was OK with the butterfly keyboard and may have liked it better if other keyboards I had to use were of the same style but jumping between it and other keyboards (especially a ThinkPad) was jarring. This keyboard is a much better compromise. There isn't as much give as a ThinkPad but the keys don't feel nearly as wobbly. They feel very precise with a good deal more press than the butterfly. I've been typing for less than an hour on this keyboard and it's been an easy adjustment after typing on a ThinkPad. Oh, and the inverted T arrows keys are so much nicer. You can locate your fingers on them without looking now much more accurately. Everything else pretty standard Apple quality. The laptop isn't perfect (what laptop is?) but compared to recent iterations over the last several years, this laptop model is finally heading in a positive direction again and it feels like Apple is listening. The separate physical ESC key and keyboard are strong indicators of that.

This MacBook Pro is the best laptop ever. I’ve been a PC guy my entire life but have owned iPhones and iPads for years. I last had the surface pro 6 and finally made the switch to MacBook and keep my life all sync’d now that I have a 16 month old. My buddy has always told me once you go Mac you never go back. I can now finally agree with him. Thx ERATECH for the incredible price!
