Get the last of the intel while you can

By far, the best MacBook Pro apple has released yet. Built like a tank, it fixes all of the issues previous MacBooks had since 2012 unibody. The butterfly keys are no longer an issue, the overheating no longer an issue with the i9s, and the screen cabling issue has been reworked as to not disconnect as the 2018 models did. I would get more of these if I could but since the intel series MacBook are discontinued these are going to get hard to find. So glad I grabbed the last of the i9 while it was available.

So easy to transition!

Bought a new MacPro in July but was worried about migrating my data from the old MacPro. Last Saturday I bit the bullett and was shocked how easy it to was to make the transition. It was accomplished in less than 3 hours with a Thunderbolt cable and the two Macs. Wow, great!

Macbooks

It's a Macbook Pro - what more can I say. Incredible screen and great piece of hardware. Will last for years. The one it replaced still works (I just gave it a new battery) and is from 2011. I bought the new one because of the larger, more advanced screen and the fact I could no long load the latest operating system in the old one.

My last chance to have an amazing Intel running powerhouse

I run Windows for work at least several days a week and doing it on M1 is possible although [currently] unnecessarily difficult and error prone. An amazing, fast, 16? Intel Mac is what I was hoping to find. I read so much negative info about the touchbar (functional keys) but I found them absolutely useful (along with the Esc key being a physical key). The machine has so many cores in i9 cpu that I don?t have use for at least 4 of them :)) as for expansion ports I use small dongle for SD card reader with a tiny USBC-to-USB3 adapter. Or and has to buy a USBC based HDMI cable for my second monitor.

Great Service, Good Product, Fair Price

I used to purchase electronics from an Adorama competitor. I appreciate the honesty and accuracy of Adorama's sales force and anyone who has been using Mac computers understands that while not cheap, the product is well made, with AppleCare the support is excellent, and, knock on wood, so far relatively virus free.

Runs Photoshop and Lightroom Flawlessly - and iOS is a Pleasant Surprise

I bought this computer primarily to run Photoshop and Lightroom. With 32 GB RAM, the computer is very fast and a substantial improvement over my Windows system with 12 GB RAM. My biggest surprise is how much I like the iOS operating system. Being an exclusive PC user for over 30 years, I was a bit afraid of the transition. But after a few hours looking up differences, I now prefer iOS to Windows and even use MSOffice products for MAC exclusively.

The Best Computer I've Ever Owned

By Bradley T.

I settled on the Intel i9, 32GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, 8GB GPU space gay model of this new MacBook 16" and couldn't be happier with my purchase. I will be utilizing this machine to do video work for a YouTube channel, and plan on using lots of 4k footage and saving it in higher quality before converting to YouTube's compressed format. I selected specs that I felt would future-proof this machine for my uses for the next 4-5 years and beyond. I have received many compliments from people on the build qu...

Well done

By MATT T.

- Keyboard feels great - Display is huge for a laptop (finally I can have my browser, VScode, and a terminal window all open at once). I recommend changing the display resolution to fit a little bit more on the screen than default, but that all depends on your eyes. - Apple build quality is excellent as usual - The thermals! They’re actually quite good. When the GPU is really working the fans spin up and they are NOT QUIET. But, they definitely get the job done WAY better than with previous g...

Retina Display - A big, beautiful workspace. For doing big, beautiful work.

The new MacBook Pro features a stunning 16-inch Retina display - the largest Retina display ever in a Mac notebook. It produces 500 nits of brightness for spectacular highlights and bright whites, while delivering deep blacks thanks to the precise photo alignment of liquid crystal molecules. And the P3 wide color gamut enables brilliant, true-to-life images and video. So no matter where you are, you'll see your work in the best possible light.

The narrow-band LED-powered backlight allows MacBook Pro to represent the P3 wide color gamut for brilliant, true-to-life color in photos and videos.

The oxide thin film transistor (TFT) features 10 times faster pixel charging than the traditional amorphous silicon TFT, and holds the pixel voltage steady during low-frequency power-saving modes, enabling pin-sharp resolution and longer battery life.

• P3 wide color gamut
• 500 nits of brightness

Retina Display - A big, beautiful workspace. For doing big, beautiful work.

Processor and Memory - Working at the speed of thought.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro brings a whole new class of performance to the notebook. Thanks to a more advanced thermal design, the Intel Core i9 processor with up to 8 cores and 16 threads of processing power sustains higher performance for longer periods of time - and delivers up to 2.1 times the performance of a quad-core MacBook Pro. So whether you're layering dozens of tracks and effects, rendering 3D models, or compiling and testing code, you'll be doing it in no time flat.

• 28% increased airflow
• 35% larger heat sink

More advanced thermal architecture enables faster processing. The thermal architecture in MacBook Pro has been completely redesigned, featuring larger impellers with improved fan blades for optimal airflow and more heat-dispersing fins for more effective cooling. The resulting gain in cooling capacity allows MacBook Pro to deliver up to 12 watts more maximum sustained power.

Up to 64GB of DDR4 memory means more efficient multitasking. The 16-inch MacBook Pro uses fast 2666MHz DDR4 memory - up to 64GB - for smooth performance whether you're loading hundreds of audio samples, editing billion-pixel images, or running multiple virtual machines.

MacBook Pro has a big voice. The six-speaker sound system produces room-filling wide stereo sound like you've never heard from a notebook before. Dual force-cancelling woofers dramatically reduce system vibration for a clearer, more natural sound and a half-octave lower range to the bass. And the studio-quality three-mic array rivals professional third-party microphones, for creating superclean podcasts or music recordings on the go.

• Six-speaker sound system with dual force-cancelling woofers.
• Studio-quality three-mic array with high signal-to-noise ratio.
