Excellent product at an excellent price. Adorama's discount put this superb Mac product within my financial reach. The new, short-travel keyboard design takes a bit of getting used to but after awhile, typing on it becomes natural.

It’s a capable laptop. For typical functions, it’s stellar. For running multiple virtual machines at once, it struggles and occasionally crashes the Mac. I’ve made some corrective actions since and issues have subsided. As a workstation, a windows based machine might be a better buy for the money. HOWEVER, with the new MBP 16” (MacBook Pro) with better rated GPUs, improved keyboard, slightly bigger screen, and better cooling, the newer MBP is even a more attractive buy. I bought mine just 4-5 days before the new 16” MBPs debuted. If I could, I would exchange it. I opened it before I learned of the new MBPs. ?? Some issues: 1) I ran some diagnostic tests and ran safe mode to help resolve my crashing issues while running VirtualBox. Issues resolved for now. 2) Also, it doesn’t reach the advertised over clocking CPU speeds. Seems to be an Apple thing on their laptops. But this false advert is not exclusive to Apple. Many other laptop makers do this as well. We can also fault Intel too in there higher core chips. CPU barely reaches its base clock speed of 2.3GHZ during heavy loads. Maybe better cooling would alleviate this issue. I have an additional laptop fan at home. As a result, I recommend the Core i7 CPU instead of any of the i9 CPUs, allowing you to save and/or invest more into GPUs and Memory. Apple apparently tried to improve this a few months back with updates, but it still falls short of the advertised overboost of 4.8GHZ. Positives: Ive been an Apple fan since the late 1980s. However, I do love Linux and windows almost as much. For example, as a business and gaming machine, windows reigns king. For server use, Linux is desirable. For media, systems admin, and development, Mac is more ideal. Each OS has their pros and cons. But for what I need to do (networking and cybersecurity) this macOS seemed to be the best choice: longevity, reliability, functionality. Granted Linux and windows have great reliability and longevity these days. However, at least in a windows machine, you cannot run Mac OS (yes, if running a virtual machine). With MacOS, you can format and/or partition your hard drive to run any or all 3 different OSs. Although macs May appear to be priced at a premium, you are not being ripped off. If you price each part individually and compare same or similar performing parts for a windows machine, prices are about the same.

This macbook works great. I believe it is the fastest macbook pro I have used so far. The only thing that prevents this computer from getting to 5 stars, is the fact that it gets pretty hot at full load causing the fans to turn on and the cpu to throttle. Even at throttle speeds, I believe it is fast. However, I believe an upgrade to the cooling system is needed to really unlease the power of the core i9. I believe apple fixed this with the macbook 16 inch, which I have ordered.

Upgrading from a mid-2015 MBP. I can't say I'm a fan of having to use a dongle for peripherals but it is impressive I can plug so many in, including power, into a single port. Touchbar with touchID is great. Processing and graphics are lovely. Obviously very expensive but so it goes with Apple.

Very happy with my new MacBook Pro. Really like the Touch Bar. Old-school typists beware: the keys on this keyboard takes getting used to. The keys are closer together and not quite as raised as old models.

This has the speed and ability to multitask using all the Adobe Cloud based software I use for my work as an artist. Graphics are crisp and true to color and tone. Enough storage so as not to need an external drive. There’s no real alternative out there for the price.

I upgraded from a 2012 MacBook Pro to the 2019 Model, which is quite an advancement, mildly put, and obviously a huge difference. It’s a fantastic laptop, I work mostly with photos, videos and MS office as I am in tourism, and it does all I need at the speed I need. Despite the 15” screen it’s still light and slim. The only thing I preferred with my old model is the power cable plug into the device with the magnetic socket and the green light on the plug which immediately showed you that it’s charging, but that is really minor.

Apple upgrades the latest MacBook Pro by giving it the 8-core treatment. The new 15” MacBook Pro now comes with either an Intel Core i7 or i9 processor, making it the fastest Mac notebook to date, being twice as fast as a quad-core MacBook Pro and almost 40 percent faster than a 6-core MacBook Pro. Thanks to the new 8-core processors, users can experience fast and smooth operations, like simultaneous editing of up to eleven 4K videos in Final Cut Pro X and rendering 3D models two times faster in Maya Arnold. The new MacBook Pro also comes with super-fast SSDs, the state-of-the-art Apple T2 Security Chip, a vibrant Retina display, and improved battery life. All new Macs are now run by the latest macOS Mojave, which now includes iOS apps such as News, Stocks, and Voice Memos, as well as a redesigned Mac App Store. The 15” MacBook Pro comes in stylish Silver or Space Grey. These additions, along with the new 8-core processor, make the MacBook Pro the best Pro notebook in the world to date.
The 15‑inch Macbook Pro model now features a ninth-generation 8-core Intel Core i9 processor that reaches Turbo Boost speeds up to 5.0GHz. This gives 3D graphics apps like Autodesk Maya up to 40 percent faster render speeds compared with the previous-generation 6-core processor and up to 2x faster render speeds than a quad-core processor. So when you’re powering through pro‑level processing jobs like compiling code, rendering 3D models, adding special effects, layering multiple tracks, or encoding video, you’ll get everything done. Faster.

MacBook Pro features a Radeon Pro discrete GPU in every 15‑inch model, combining impressive power with remarkable power efficiency. And now we’ve paired each discrete GPU with 4GB of GDDR5 memory standard, giving you fluid, real‑time performance for pro tasks like rendering 3D titles in Final Cut Pro X.

The 15-inch MacBook Pro offers Radeon Pro Vega GPU options — the first discrete mobile Vega GPUs in a notebook. Vega, the same graphics architecture found in iMac Pro, delivers an enhanced compute engine and utilizes High Bandwidth Memory (HBM2). HBM2 doubles the memory bandwidth to the GPU while doing so at considerably lower power, so more of the graphics power budget can be used by the GPU itself. The result is significantly faster graphics performance — up to 60 percent faster than the Radeon Pro 560X— for tackling demanding video, 3D, rendering, and compute workloads.

Now on every MacBook Pro, the Touch Bar replaces the function keys that have long occupied the top of your keyboard with something much more versatile and capable. It changes automatically based on what you’re doing to show you relevant tools that are intuitive to use — system controls like volume and brightness, interactive ways to adjust or browse through content, and intelligent typing features like emoji and predictive text, just to name a few.

Every MacBook Pro is equipped with the Apple T2 Security Chip — our second‑generation custom Mac silicon designed to make everything you do even more secure. It includes a Secure Enclave coprocessor that provides the foundation for secure boot and encrypted storage capabilities. It also consolidates many discrete controllers, including the system management controller, audio controller, and SSD controller, into one. And the Apple T2 Security Chip brings a familiar voice to MacBook Pro — Hey Siri is always ready to open apps, find documents, play music, or answer your questions.

Thunderbolt 3 combines ultra‑high bandwidth with the ultra‑versatility of the USB‑C industry standard to create one revved‑up universal port. It integrates data transfer, charging, and video output in a single connector, delivering up to 40Gb/s of throughput for twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2. Both sizes of MacBook Pro are available with up to four ports, so you can do all of that from either side. Existing devices are easily connected with a cable or adapter. And Thunderbolt 3 is reversible, so no matter how you plug in, it’s always right side up.

The Retina display in MacBook Pro is the best ever in a Mac notebook. It features bright LED backlighting and a high contrast ratio, delivering deep blacks and bright whites. It supports P3 wide color for even more vibrant greens and reds than with sRGB. And every MacBook Pro features True Tone technology. The white balance automatically adjusts to match the color temperature of the light around you — for a more natural viewing experience. MacBook Pro has a dynamic soundstage that feels and sounds much wider than its physical dimensions imply. Movies are more immersive. Music more room-filling. And three built-in mics form directional beams that capture your voice more clearly for FaceTime calls and talking to Siri.

The MacBook Pro keyboard has a butterfly mechanism — providing four times more key stability than a traditional scissor mechanism, along with greater comfort. Every MacBook Pro now features a keyboard with a quieter typing experience. And the spacious Force Touch trackpad gives your fingers plenty of room to gesture and click.
