The MacBook Pro 16-inch is the one you’ve been waiting for

The MacBook Pro 16-inch is the one you’ve been waiting for

Apple fixed the things we wanted it to on the 16-inch MacBook Pro: the keyboard is back to the scissor switches, there are better thermals on the processor, and heck — the Esc key is back! We break everything down in this review.

Jonathan Morrison tested Final Cut Pro X on the new 16-inch MacBook Pro. Check it out: https://youtu.be/wz3uTlRb9vE

  6. masbass1011 on March 11, 2021 at 12:14 am

    Sounds nice. Why is it that no one mentions the camera on Macbook Pros?



  7. Jp C9 on March 11, 2021 at 12:16 am

    idk why but I loved the butterfly keyboard



  8. Andrew Phillips on March 11, 2021 at 12:16 am

  9. Elias Saffarmoghadam on March 11, 2021 at 12:17 am

    for the first time apple listened to customers and then kill all intel based Macs



  10. Carraig Butler on March 11, 2021 at 12:18 am

    watching this on the MacBook pro so i don’t need headphones for the binaural sound to work lol



  11. Paul Romero on March 11, 2021 at 12:18 am

    The only reason why Apple changed the keyboard is because that’s what it takes when you have to address a class action lawsuit. Nintendo was up against the same thing, nothing changes until you hit them in the pocketbook but don’t think that Apple listened to his Fanbase they only listen to class action lawsuits



  12. Ben Salinas on March 11, 2021 at 12:19 am

    I’ve just upgraded from a 2015 13inch Macbook pro to this. I could have easily done with the new 2020 13 inch MBP but I just wanted a bigger computer. I love Macbooks!



  13. The Verge on March 11, 2021 at 12:21 am

    and now after wwdc I’m still waiting for the ARM models..is anyone knows when apple introducing the first 16 inch MacBook pro with ARM chipset ??



  22. Unreliable Narrator 66 on March 11, 2021 at 12:33 am

    I love the Touch Bar and it’s very useful if you take the time to retrain yourself. Most people don’t use most features so I’m not surprised a majority of people aren’t motivated to break old habits to learn the usefulness of Touch Bar verses control keys.

  25. William Talbert on March 11, 2021 at 12:35 am

    Gotta say I’m loving my MBP 16 powerful beautiful screen. I use my Touch Bar religiously.



  26. Teja Peri on March 11, 2021 at 12:36 am

    I want that background for my MacBook Pro 16", where can I get it ? 🥺



  27. Take The First Step Marketing on March 11, 2021 at 12:36 am

    This is an excellent review. I’ve been debating on getting this one. These are the types of reviews I look for. Thank you.



  28. TA Jones on March 11, 2021 at 12:36 am

    Can’t wait to replace my 2012 MacBook Pro with this.

    7:46 Wow, people are into such cool music now.



  31. JB on March 11, 2021 at 12:43 am

    How is it as far as the large track pad? Does it interfere with typing? Also how is heat sync?



  32. Do that on March 11, 2021 at 12:43 am

    The problem for me is the Touch Bar. I touched a key & disabled its self. I can get anything back that was there.



  33. LINNY on March 11, 2021 at 12:44 am

    Are you talking about the MBP 2018 model having issues, and if so which one?



  34. Mr Zark on March 11, 2021 at 12:46 am

    "Needing earphones to listen to the difference in mic quality."

    I want to buy the MacBook Pro 16 inch but the iPad Pro seemed expensive when I brought it. The 16 inch is a hard choice for me

  43. R P on March 11, 2021 at 12:56 am

    The caveat is the price!



  44. Brian Eaves on March 11, 2021 at 12:57 am

    Is anyone else with a 16inch Macbook pro 2.3ghz, 32gig ram 4 TB SSD, AMD 8GB5600M HDM2, Catlina 10.15.6 having Charging issues? 
    When the Factory power supply is plugged in the battery icon next to the clock says NOT CHARGING. Also when the power supply isn’t pugging in the battery icon sometimes has a lighting bolt on it. I erased the 16inch with a net install at it still happens from time to time. I’ve also reset my SMC. My computer is 45 days old!! I’ve been on the phone with AppleCare and they haven’t resolved the issue. Am I the only one with this issue?



  45. MTI Photography on March 11, 2021 at 12:58 am

    I love my fully spec’d MacBook Pro 16". Yes it does get hot, but honestly, I don’t use it on my lap. It’s on a stand. Speakers are outstanding and I came from a 15" 2015 MacBook Pro and it’s identical in size and thickness.



  46. Jayshri Jain on March 11, 2021 at 1:01 am

    Just wondering how long the battery life will be if they put a m1 chip in it with the same battery capacity



  47. Sterling Mackay on March 11, 2021 at 1:02 am

    I love this Mac book I call it the Big Mac 😊 it has a whole lot of power right out the door.



  48. Dmitry Dmitry on March 11, 2021 at 1:03 am

    First Mac ever owned, really good.



  49. Vinamra Agarwal on March 11, 2021 at 1:06 am

    Hey, everyone is talking about all the issues the MacBook has managed to solved. I would really like to know your views using this MacBook with the external monitors because there have been threads going on since a long time about how just connecting an external display leads to heating and FAN noise for the MacBook Pro and the graphics card pulls in very high watt even without performing any intensive tasks.



  50. yourcrapp on March 11, 2021 at 1:07 am

    the 16 inch is the best laptop apple has made in years. its way to expensive tough.
