Super fast charging compared to my other MB Pro's it seems. Aside from that I purchased it for video editing and it shines with that. Can not only import from my GoPro way faster most likely due to the USB C ports but, also renders the edits much much faster than my Mid 2015 MC Pro that is higher rated processor. Just wish I could get a larger screen like my first MBP with a 17" monitor. Also the new TouchPad is much much larger and has a better feedback feel to it. PS the Touch Bar is more useful than I ever thought it could be!

The 15.4 inch screen on my MacBook Pro is fantastic for a 68 year old senior like me. As a full time educator working with special needs adults, I am thrilled with how light it is, the processing speed and that it is durable. It is very easy to use and I can run multiple applications without my MacBook slowing down and lasts hours for web surfing for academic resources. At the end of my working day, I love to relax and watch Netflix on my new MacBook!

This MacBook model has a stunning 15 inch display, great for movies and all, also, having that 32gb memory and i9 processor provides excellent performance and speed. The Touch Bar is to die for and is convenient at times needed.

I purchased this thinking it would meet my needs and for power it excelled--easily. So, I give it 3 stars just because its got the regular conveniences of being a mac and because it has fantastic power, memory, and drive space, but I very quickly found a couple deal breakers. The keyboard and mouse both make rather loud clicking noises whenever you press a key or click the mouse. I have a 13" 2015 macbook pro and it does neither of those. The clicking noise is enough not only to annoy you, but everyone around you, and you cannot turn it off. It's completely unacceptable. Also, the touch bar was the final straw for me. If you work in dim light, it causes eye strain since you can't turn down the light from it. You can't turn it off until you need it, so it's also draining the battery. You also can't just press a couple keys and turn your screen down or just touch a key once to do various other things like I can now (like adjust the volume) you have to go through a menu on the touch bar. It's hugely annoying, and, yes, you can accidentally touch something and not be sure which you touched. For a computer that is this expensive, both of these is completely unacceptable to me. I'll go with a far less expensive computer, if it means daily use isn't so annoying, since you can get this much power in a less expensive machine elsewhere. Not having a regular headphone jack was an issue too. I shouldn't have to buy new ones when most headphones still use the old jack. It just had four C jacks, which at least is better than only one, since you can charge it and do something else at the same time, but there's no flexibility here for your items with other connectors and so if I take my computer somewhere I have to bring adapters with me too. A computer is a tool and the tool itself should not be frustrating and annoying to use when you are spending this much money. I've been using mac for 10 years now and unfortunately, it seems I'm done. I'd already decided to switch to Linux for privacy and the ability customize more and thought perhaps I'd run that on this because I loved the hardware, but with the new changes it looks like I'll have to return to PC or buy something specifically made for Linux. I was willing to pay this much money for a good machine, but this just isn't worth it. I can get this much power for far less, so I'll be purchasing something far less expensive, quieter, and less annoying for daily use. I returned this after only 5 days, though I think I had over a month to return it because they gave us extra time with the pandemic. I just didn't want to use it. I used to love mac, but with the direction they are going, I can't continue. I was considering leaving their phones too because I don't want something that big nor need all the fancy additions nor the cost, but with the new SE coming out, I might consider it, but even with that, the lack of a headphone jack might be the deal breaker. Steve Jobs was into streamlining, not making things frustrating and annoying. This one's, rather sadly, a pass for me.

I have owned laptops for more than 25 years. FINALLY--a laptop to love. Live and learn. Buy enough memory. Buy enough storage. Could not resist this Best Buy deal. $1000 off ! The new 16" came out the very next day. WHO CARES? Best Buy offered a GREAT PRICE and the advice of the team member was spot-on for my needs. Truly a BEST BUY !
