Is the cheapest 16 inch MacBook Pro really 'Pro'?

  • The 16 inch MacBook Pro is here, and I ordered a base model to test out. In the past, the base model 15 inch MacBook Pro has been a tough one to recommend, with lesser graphics, puny storage, they just felt lacking in some way. The new 16 inch MacBook Pro changes things...

    I like that you analyzed the low end MacBook Pro 16" rather than a maxed out one that most of us can't afford. To know that this one bests a maxed one from the prior gen is a very convincing sell point.

      The mid tier upgrade actually costs a grand less than what Luke paid for his iMac Pro 5K! At that price, its a value. Some people would want to keep the difference in their pocket. And because modern Macs can’t be upgraded after market, it makes sense to buy the specs you think you might need later now than be stuck with the base model that doesn’t anticipate possible future needs.
      If you’re going to keep your Mac with you, an upgrade won’t hurt and if you do sell it, it will hold its value well.

      I just bought one (picked up on Nov 6), saw the news on Nov 12, went back to Apple and returned the 15" and now I am waiting on the 16 :D
      EDIT: P.s. I saved money by doing that and I even took it up to 1 TB rather than 512 GB.

I got the 8 core i9/1TB SSD SKU rather than the entry one, but the entry one is a 6 core i7 and 512GB SSD, and would also make a damn fine computer. My only reservation on recommending it is actually that it won't run newer OS X than Catalina, which means if you rely on any 32bit software (such as Aperture), adjusting to Catalina can be a painful chore. In my case this laptop is a secondary machine to my desktop Mac Pro, so the forced Catalina upgrade is a dry run, but if you use a MacBook as your main computer, be aware of the 32 bit software deprecation in Catalina.

    Apple gave up on "Pro" meaning professional when they went to soldered on memory and hardware storage protection so it can't be upgraded. I don't necessarily mind the port selection, professionals will probably have it docked when they want to use more than a flash drive anyway.

U have made me upgrade my own late 2009 macbook pro with an ssd and its useable i guess but i want more because im starting to make music now and it shows it age and when i go and study for graphic designer i need something way more powerful. I am currently working my ass off to go ahead and buy a macbook pro so i can do what my passion is. I only earn 3€ per hour but ill get there some day i guess! Keep on doing what ur doing and dont let anyone get you down because you are amazing and you have definitely deserved a spot in my heart.
