Customers praise the MacBook Pro 16" for its impressive performance, excellent battery life, and large screen size, finding it easy to use. While some find it a bit heavy and pricey, the positive feedback on its capabilities outweighs these concerns.
I am a 50 year old IT pro who also is into gaming, so up until now I have always rolled with a gaming laptop (Windows) - going back 20 years. As I have gotten older, I game less and less on the go, and I became sick of dealing with laptops that sound like a jet engine whenever you do anything remotely demanding. After reading about the success and excellence of the new Apple silicon, I decided to take the plunge into Mac-land, and I can honestly say I will never go back to a PC-based laptop again. With this MacBook, I can actually use it on my lap (gasp!) without blocking a fan or burning my legs. It barely gets warm. The screen is gorgeous, and the sound is unlike anything I have heard from a laptop. I have yet to hear the fans turn on either. It is dead silent. It does have some games that will run just fine on it, including one of my favorites - Rimworld. I also fired up some Divinity Original Sin II and that runs great as well. Battery life is also fantastic. I can use it casually for a couple of days before I need to charge it. I've seen some people say this is a little heavy for traveling, but I used to lug around a 15 lb (including power brick) gaming laptop so this thing is light as a feather by comparison, and it doesn't need to be plugged in all the time to do things. For those coming from PC, yes there is a learning curve, but it isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. All in all I have no regrets converting to MacOS and I see this MacBook Pro lasting for many years. It just blows away anything I have ever used and it is not even close.

A powerful machine with the Apple M2 Pro silicon chip is great for power users also excels at multitasking as well as multimedia creation. Apple M2 Pro 19-core GPU gives a very Fast display also excellent for High performance gaming. I love the increase in size from my old 15 inch MacBook Pro now at 16.2 inches Screen size and a resolution of 3456 x 2234. This beast screens with app windows opening almost instantly. The battery life is great up to 22 hours in average use. And with 3 thunderbolt 4 ports I get fast connections for perhipherals like external HD and SSD as well as many other devices. My backups now screen with a SSD drive attached. A very solid and well built backlit keyboard that is going to give me a long life I believe.

This MacBook Pro is insane on how fast it is compared to my previous iMac. 16 gigs of unified memory paired with the M2 chip is an incredible combination. My recommendation is by the 16 inch as you cannot make the screen bigger later.
