16-inch MacBook Pro officially announced, starting at 2399$

I wonder how well this thing handles heat? The previous generation was known to immediatelly start underclocking to avoid overheating, basically reducing your performance in crappy ways. With this having even more power I can only imagine it would get worse.
Damn, think this is my next baby. Looks like a fantastic package, lack of wifi6 notwithstanding.
It's a bit thicker and has a revamped cooling system; Apple's site even calls out being able to run "longer" at higher clocks (but that could mean almost anything).
Do we know what the default "top spec" they'll have in stores? Every revision they offer the base specs and some combination of upgrades without getting too crazy as the models they have pre-built in the stores. I usually go for that option.
I don't think I am set to upgrade yet, my Late 2013 MBP still surprisingly ok, but I am so happy to see when I do need to replace it, the butterfly keyboards are dead.
That bodes better at least, though their fix to the butterfly keyboard didnt mitigate much until this new brand of keyboard, so I'll reserve my judgement. For as much as you pay for these, you should be getting 100 percent performance
What did you expect? Of course it's 2666.
There really isn't any choice when that's what the Intel parts support. This isn't a gaming desktop that's overclocked.
After dealing with Dell for over a year I can't wait to return home to a macbook for personal use.
Fuck constantly troubleshooting shit. I respect that at least Apple put in some effort into better thermal management. 7590 is still incapable of handling an i7 let alone an i9.

Fall rumors aren't happening. New version is probably around March with new features of focus being camera and AR (big yawn from me personally)
Lol, well if that's the case I'll finally be at peace with upgrading this December then. I could not care less about those features.
I work with Dell's at work.
Besides the XPS line (laptops) they all belong in the trash. Even then, fuck Dell Command Update. Pieces of shit I tell you lol.
I always say no sense in "upgrading" if the product you own is working fine and doing what you need it to do without issue.
It's why I'll probably have a 1080p set well into the 2020s, despite some of the odd coloration issues I can spot every now and then.
I just saw this by going to Apples website to check something out. My god is it beautiful, I wish I held off on this VS the refurbished MacBook Pro I bought. I'll just wait for this to be refurbished and potentially get it.
That must be me because I love the keyboard. Thank god for those typing classes I took back in middle school.
Hurm, so I can get £790 for my 2018 15" MBP w/charger. I think I'll try and hold out for now.
The 2019 15" macbook pro w/ touchbar isn't even listed on the trade-in website
It's a loaner.
also jus work 14 hour days 6 days a week. No thanks
The problem is the same execs that got fucked hard by Nvidia back in 2009 are still there. Phil, Craig, Tim. All of them surely remember how badly Nvidia fucked them.
Damn, copped an upgraded 15 inch over the summer and had to fork over an arm and a leg to upgrade the harddrive space to 512 and this has it base. Ahh well
Yep - the 8600GT debacle. To be fair, AMD has also had their fair share of defective GPUs (not sure if this is due to inefficient cooling or the chips actually go bad or both) but dammit, bring back Nvidia at some point!
Any benchmarks yet comparing these to the 2016 MBP?
(2.9Ghz Quad-Core i7 - 16GB - Radeon Pro 460 4GB)

Oh boy I'm this close to pulling the trigger.
I know I was talking about maybe a 14" that might possibly have the same specs (Like a dGPU) as a 15" but I'm not going to count on Apple putting one out so I'd end up sticking with the larger model. I like that it's bigger than what I have now (2013 15" model) but is still lighter. So that's cool. It's slightly bigger and heavier than the previous 15" though but since I don't have one of those I wont feel like I'm stepping down.
I just want to know what the "scaled resolution" options are. Probably will still have the same as the 15" just everything will be slightly larger at the same setting. Which I guess is good for my rapidly aging eyes. lol
I want it now. I would love to spend the $8 for faster shipping if it guaranteed that it would come on Friday. I hate weekends. It's 2019. Why can't we have deliveries on Sundays? Or Saturday across the board? I want it nooooowwwww!!!!! Anyway, yeah I'd love for it to show up Friday morning.
I especially like that the base model has everything I need without having to do any custom configuring. I don't have to jump to the 512GB. It already has 16GB RAM. I just wonder why it's not available in store at all. Not even an estimated date. Wish I could just go get it right now.

Native Resolution:
3072 x 1920 (so 1536 x 960 at 2x)
Supported scaled resolutions:
- 1920 x 1200
- 1680 x 1050
- 1280 x 800
- 1024 x 640
So basically the same as before. But now it'll look slightly larger but clearer because of more pixels when I use the 1920x1200 option. Which I'm totally fine with.
I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna pull that trigger on the Pro with a pair of AirPods and a USB dongle for the very few times I ever need to plug anything in.
marco arment suggests the list on apple's tech specs is wrong (and given that he has a 16" mbp in-hand, i am inclined to trust him):
It also happened again with the 330M. It was just fuckery all round those few years. At least everyone basically got free Applecare out of it.
i don't think apple's deal with AMD has anything to do with faulty nvidia gpus - i would bet it's much more to do with AMD being willing to do a lot of semi-custom parts for apple and working more closely with them on metal and the like
Just ordered one. I'm using an SB1 right now, have wanted to go back to macOS for awhile but stayed away due to the keyboard issues. Since that's fixed, I'm in. Also awesome that this includes 16GB RAM / 512GB in the base config, exactly what I wanted. Doesn't really seem like a bad price compared to other high end laptops, as far as the base config is concerned.
Hmm. This is actually the laptop I've been waiting for from Apple. I've been holding out since 2011 for something bigger than 15".
I'll give it some serious consideration, but I'm still not very interested in soldered-on memory and storage. We'll see.
