Customers are saying

Customers admire the MacBook Pro 16" for its expansive screen, impressive performance, and ease of use. Many appreciate the convenient Touch Bar and long battery life, along with its lightweight design and high-quality speakers. However, some find the price to be high and express concerns about the limited number of USB ports and occasional heat generation. A few users also mention noticeable fan noise at times.

    The most expensive paperweight ever.

    When I bought this laptop I already had a Dell running the same i7 CPU and also 16GB of RAM. This laptop ran just as fast and performed exactly the same as my Dell without any exceptional boost or improvement to justify the much higher price tag. In fact I ended up doing less work with this laptop than I did with the Dell. After a year of light use, I pulled the laptop out of my bag and found the screen wouldn't turn on. After I took a closer look, I noticed a pixel's width, 1/2" long crack from the camera down. That tiny crack completely destroyed the screen's ability to work. I never get warranty on any of my computers since I work any tech problems myself. So here I am looking at an excessively expensive computer that broke after 1 year and without AppleCare. I quickly went online to search for replacement screens and found them to be ridiculously expensive. I decided maybe Apple could offer a better deal. Only to be told it would cost roughly the same as me buying the parts and changing it myself. I optioned not to get it fix. It will be 4 years now I have the Dell and it works beautifully while this laptop sat doing nothing for 1 year. Apple better redeem itself with the M1 and M2 chips because this was a very expensive mistake.

    Unfortunately, this computer did not work correctly from the second we unboxed. At first attempt to turn the computer on, the display would not turn on. Every time the computer went to sleep, it would crash and we were unable to get the display to turn back on. On top of this, the computer would get stuck at start up and need to be restarted. After hours with AppleCare, they were unable to fix the problem. We returned the computer and hoped to get the next model up using price match for another retailer and the price it was at when we purchased this model. The store refused to match the price even though we had a defective item. Very disappointed in the product and service from Best Buy. Don’t recommend

    While the laptop itself in theory is great, I've already had multiple problems with the machine and it's been less than a month. It gets burning hot, the volume doesn't always work, and the screen display gets really washed out sometimes making it impossible to edit photos.

    Extremely fragile

    The larger display screen is extremely fragile. It cracked within the first 3 months while sitting on a desk inside a case. The Apple Store basically said that happens all the time. The worst part is, they said it would be repaired in 2-3 business days. That was 3 weeks ago, after waiting a week to get an appointment to have it fixed, and it now has no repair date in sight. The LED screen is too fragile and Apple repairs are non existent right now. Apple is not the same without Steve Jobs.

    It seems to be just a big iPhone with a few extras. It has very few games and was not what I expected. I exchanged it for a windows gaming laptop.

    What a nightmare!!! Upon arrival brought it over to my tech guy to set it up for me. When we opened the box we saw it was damaged and scratched up on the bottom. Then we saw the original owner of this computer's name and his desktop display picture. Of course we couldn't open the computer because it belonged to someone else and of course we didn't have his password... My computer tech said that this computer was a piece of junk and to return it immediately. I hope that this is read by someone at Best Buy so that a manager could get in touch with me regarding this disgrace. So I called Best Buy, got a return label, mailed it out UPS and still have not received word nor monetary return. I am super disappointed, thought this company was reputable. I was so excited to get my new computer, and then this... This was definitely the "WORST BUY" ever.

    I found it too big to carry with me daily. Switch to a MBP 13 2020 with a LG 27" 4K monitor and found it more ergonomic for 8+ hours of work.

    Was supposed to be tech certified. Got hot almost immediately after turning it on No support from Geek squad offered until over a week later to remove my data and put it on a new computer. Awful experience. Went directly to Apple for the expertise and professionalism.

    The computer is fine but beware they didnt tell me it had no power supply. Nothing in the ad mentioned the lack of required accessories to actually use it. The manager pointed to the fair rating on the ad and it says the item could be missing accessories. Would have been nixe to know there was no power supply in the ad.
