Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's a good machine. I bought this as a temp replacement for my Razer Blade Advanced that's now with the Geek Squad unfortunately. It's not as fast as the Razer Blade but its close and I'm not crazy about soldered components but I'll take it over a non-working machine. Here's my experience: Temps: Excellent! Light use (email) results in around temps of 80 F. Medium use (5-6 web browser tabs open, a few applications running, etc) temps are in the range of 100 F - 130 F (about 113-117 F stable with a cooling pad). Maxing out all 6 cores, I saw temps in the range of about 170 F (with a cooling pad). This is the first MBP and first power user laptop that I can actually put in my lap for light to medium use without cooking meat...Nice!!! Battery: No 11 hours yet as Apple advertises. I'm getting about 7+ hours on the light end and about 9+ on the high end. Touch Bar: After a heavy use of multiple applications, the Touch Bar froze and required a kill command through Terminal; not crazy about that. I miss the physical buttons for brightness, volume, etc. Finger Sensor: It's accurate and fast. Very nice integration for logging in and authenticating online and off. Speakers: They're amazing, the best I've ever heard on a laptop in terms of cleanness of sound and loudness. I find myself turning the volume down more than up. The sound cleanses I'd say is the equivalent to a $60 external Bluetooth speaker. Mic: I didn't find it to be cats pajamas as it's advertised to be. It's better than my Samsung Note 9 cellphone quality but not by much. Screen: It's a MBP, always awesome. Greatly enjoying the 16:10 ratio. Keyboard: It's renamed the "magic keyboard" but it's actually the older keyboard before the not liked "Butterfly Keyboard". It feels good for long term typing and sounds good...it always has. No complaints. If you're a Power User and not doing 3D rendering then I would keep with the i7 and upgrade the memory. In retrospect, I should have bumped up to 32 GB as when I'm running full, I'm typically down to 1.5 GB - 2 GB of free memory. My last MBP is now 10 years old and cost around $3,700 for a maxed out 17". That breaks down to about $30.83 a month. If this Mac last as long, then $24 a month is amazing for this caliber of machine for many years to come.

I don't usually do reviews but let me tell you..., this MacBook Pro is a good purchase. Is it worth its money? All depend on what you value. I returned the Razer - Blade 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q - 512GB SSD Add a little money and purchased this Mac. It was a good move for me because I value work flow over performance, (once the performance part has reached an acceptable level) Everyone at my job has Macs. Now.., in the apple ecosystem is where Macs performs their best. Even though it's a lot easier for Mac to connect via bluetooth to non-apple products. I mean.., we can even connect or android phones to Mac now. All of that still can't complete with the convenience air drop, side car, screen-share. If your smart TV is airdrop compatible you can turn your TV in to second or third monitor. On top of that.., the performance is excellent. I'm a video editor at a popular YouTube channel. So this is a high demand environment. We post one video a day..., everyday. From 4k green screen talking heads to a 4 panel talk show runins five cameras shooting 1920by1080. This computers has been flawless. It chops the footage up with no problem. Even with a 5 cameras multiscreen school with motion graphics.., using FCPx..., and DaVinci Resolve.., BUTTER. Now with all that.., it's a computer and not some magical media carpet. Mac issues manifest themselves in different ways. I have experienced the fans ramming up.., and the computer quickly shutting down. This has happened about three times in the first month of using it. The bluetooth has its moments as well. I use the trackpad 2 to edit. I have completely abandoned the mouse because.., it just hurts to use it now. With that.., when the bluetooth connection is good.., it is flawless. Like before, with the fans randomly ramming up resulting in the computer shutting down. The booth tooth connection will start acting up out of no where.., though after a few clicks, and moving the mouse around the screen with my trackpad 2...., the connection picks up and I resume what ever I was doing. Some call it a downside.., using only USB C connections. Well..., technology moves on just like life. Out with the old and in the new. It's not Microsoft's fault that tech companies have to catch up.., Microsoft is completely justified for focusing on the future. Yes.., I had to purchase an additional dongle for my regular usb connectors.., but I don't blame Microsoft for that. I don't like having to put this extra piece of hard on my computer to use older USB 3.0 connectors..., but I also don't mind not having a CD Drive ether.., I mean, there is absolutely no need for a CD or DVD in my work flow. So..., all in all.., this Mac is worth its money, and has completely upgraded my workflow. I give it a five star not because it's perfect.., it's perfect for what I need it for.

So my 2013 MPB started having keyboard trouble. I eventually settled on this 16 in after looking at the air and the 13 in pros. Anyway, I've been having to use my external monitor when writing papers for school and I was tired of having to sit at my desk. I typically read research papers on one screen, type on another, and browse the web on another. On the 13 in the side by side windows were too small and I had to subtly manipulate each window. With the 16 inch, I can have all three windows open to decent sizes, side by side by side. Great for productivity. Everything else is as most online review state - good keyboard, nice speakers, etc. The battery life seems good but it still drains roughly 10% per hour depending on usage. Charging is fast and having the ability to charge on both sides of the laptop is another plus for me. This machine is expensive but I hope to keep it for 10 years! I also plan to get into coding and again setting up side by side windows is great with the amount of stuff you can see. I have the setting to the smallest font so I can see a whole lot on one screen.

This is truly more computer than I need, but I like the big screen. It does everything and more than I need it to. My 10 year old Mac still worked well, but it was time to update! This one is much faster!

So obviously what we all do on computers is very different. Now I'm not your typical Apple fan boy because I own windows gaming PC's as well to numerous Apple products. But back onto this machine, this thing is a beast. Screen quality is absolutely stunning and the new keyboard is perfect! I bought this machine for pure portability reasons. Granted I have a brand new Acer Predator gaming laptop but that pc's battery has nothing on this MacBooks battery.

I’ve had this for about 2years and it still works as if it’s brand new. Really impressed with the performance.

This is what I needed! Awesome laptop, I needed a laptop that I could do my editing on the go when I could not be at home editing on my iMac .. I needed a laptop that could handle the work load and get my photos or videos edited as fast a possible. I don’t have time for waiting. So if your a filmmaker or photographer this is a awesome tool to have In your bag. It still fits in my bag even though they say It will only fit up to a 15inch laptop this 16inch still fits no problem!!

I thought I wouldn’t love it since the ports are all usb-c but after discovering they have adapters I truly love it! It’s so much faster than my old early 2015 MBP 13 inch and I can easily run FCP on it with no worries. I still bought an external hard drive to keep space free on my laptop. The huge screen is a game changer and I love that I can open it with my fingerprint or my Apple Watch. I mean it’s MCP. Just Buy it already.

I've owned a variety of PC's over the years. This is my first Mac. I was so impressed with my iPhone 11, my first iPhone,I decided to try an Apple Mac. First, I thought the set-up was lame. It involves a robovoice and keyboard navigation. I've never navigated by keyboard. Bad first impression. Then I got tangled up with the iOS and had to call Apple tech support to get my screen unfrozen. Well, tech support was outstanding. From then on its been very smooth. Catalina is seamless and intuitive. I've just begun to tap into the capability of this quality workstation. I think the some of the apps are far below the standard of Apple technology, being too political and commercial. But technically this machine is excellent. Minimalist and brilliant.

This MacBook Pro gets the job done every time. From regular day to day usage to processing videos for my YouTube channel. I held off for many years on buying a new MacBook. I had the original 17” MacBook Pro and after it died a few years ago, I began using a 13” MBP for a few months. I sold it and prayed that Apple would do another 17” or a 16” because I needed that extra screen real estate. As soon as the 16” was released, I knew I would get one as soon as they started to give deals on them. The MacBook Pro just works and the experience is even better because I have an iPhone and an iPad so being in the Apple eco system is great.

This MacBook is amazing. Prior to buying this MacBook I had the 2015 MacBook Pro, and although that MacBook was great, it does not compare to the 2019 one. I can do so much with this MacBook that I never thought possible with the 2015 model. So glad I waited for this one.

I’m an Apple Sheep so this was just an upgrade for me. Absolutely LOVE the touchbar, speakers are loud and clear. Love that it unlocks when I’m wearing my Apple Watch, the Touch ID is very responsive as well.

Been an Apple customer since day one. Been wanting a new MacBook for my business and video editing. Absolutely love my computer. Great purchase on sale. Got a great deal. Great sound and speakers with a great screen. Def. would recommend this laptop and any apple product on the market.

First off , we been using this MacBook Pro for working from home , online classes and editing videos , so far it’s been amazing and it works faster than the Previous laptop that we owned . The space grey looks awesome / classy .. I totally recommend this laptop .

The MacBook Pro is great for business and personal.

I’m enjoying my laptop it’s fast and very nice size for watching movies and videos. Best laptop I’ve ever owned. I don’t store too much on it like music I store that stuff on external hard drives to save more space.

Perfect for college, y’all should definitely get this one

Apple products have been a way of life for me and when my 2011 MacBook died I was really impressed with my new MacBook. The features and characteristics of this one is amazing. I am absolutely pleased with my new laptop and wish I would have purchased it sooner.

The truth is I am very happy with the quality of the product that I acquired, I had the opportunity to buy it early last year and it helped me to prepare before the pandemic, it has responded very well, very quickly and effectively.

By far the best investment I’ve made as far! This machine is fast and quiet at best of all for a music producer traveling a lot, Logic Pro X is a must buy! I love it!
