  • I've switched to the MacBook Pro 16 as my daily laptop - and so have many other creators! So I sat down with SuperSaf in Hawaii to talk all things Apple, MacBook, Windows and RUclipsr Cliches! --- Amazon US: amzn.to/35QQ032 / UK: amzn.to/2Q5Lsz6

      I love it. Honestly, it allows me to work nicely and I don’t feel like it’s in the way, like other laptops might be. I edit videos using DaVinci Resolve Studio 16 (it uses the GPU and Metal) and so far it’s performing as well as my GTX1070 desktop PC or even better sometimes. I have the MBP 16” maxed out, except the SSD, I have the 2TB version. My only complaints so far are about the fans that are relatively loud, and kick in kinda fast. Luckily the pitch of the fan noise is low. I also never thought I’d enjoy laptop speakers this much... I don’t mind the increase in size/weight to make the performance better. I also love the new keyboard, the butterfly kb was bad. Although, I do use a Logitech USB keyboard (KB120) for when I edit video. My only other problems are software related, like iPhone connection issues and I wish they included a NTFS driver by default so users don’t have to purchase a separate app for basic functionality. That’s about it. Oh, the SSD is crazy fast. 😳 Thanks Apple, for listening to your users and making a really great product. 🙏🏻

    The best thing about Mac OS are the gestures. I use a touchpad 2 with my iMac. Having different desktops set up with multiple windows and being able to scroll across so seamlessly is the best part. It's just so awesome. And now with being able to use the iPad as another screen, that just adds so much more functionality to the Mac. I switched over in 2015 and I will never go back...I just can't imagine going back to Windows. People have to understand the Apple tax or whatever people like to call it is absolutely justified. Mac is not selling MacOS licenses. They have to create, update and innovate MacOS based only on Mac sales. Each Mac includes Pages, Garage Band, iMovie. Pages alone is fantastic, and iMovie is great for people who just edit for youtube or just for the hell of it. The build quality of the Mac is top notch. The only other manufacturer that regularly uses a single sheet of aluminum to build its chassises is Razor, and they are also very expensive. Apple gives the fastest SSDs (on most machines). The best speakers in most cases. The way MacOS communicates with iOS is something no other company can provide. Not to mention how amazing and useful the watch and pad have become. Whatever "tax" is charged, it is worth it, and it is absolutely justified. In my opinion of course....

      @matthewstevens2960 4 года назад

      I have been wanting to convert since 2018, but with the new mbp16 I’m more willing to convert now. I have been keeping this in mind and have been buying dongles and any usb stick I need brand new, I get as a usb-c input as well as it coming with a usb-a adapter for my outdated college computers. So I think a lot of prosumers will plan ahead before converting and the majority will plan ahead.

      @hajimeyamasakivukelic7235 4 года назад +1

      @@matthewstevens2960 It really depends on what you do. I still find myself needing a proper hub with USB-A ports from time to time, despite having obtained numerous adapters and even replacement cables for external drives. The industry as a whole is slow to catch up. Millions of devices still ship with USB-A cables and connectors even today. Not to mention that Apple itself still uses the proprietary lightning connectors on their mobile devices.

    • @cyberspacedweller637

      Thunderbolt is far superior to any other connector. You can buy cheap adapters to run pretty much anything through it. I wouldn't want legacy IO taking up space tbh.

    best investment i made.

Timesaver, so no... definitely not a gimmick for people that need it. Webcam is not really an issue, good for doing quick FaceTime but I don't even use it for any other thing, and most of the time I'm doing FaceTime on the phone.

    About the trackpad, I am not sure if I am alone hating it is that big. Because of the huge size of it, it's rather easy to mistouch it while typing then cause the cursor showing up somewhere else. To avoid this, I have to be very careful about the gesture of my hands when I am typing and this makes my hands sooo tired if I type a little longer.

    We are testing two new 16-inch MacBook's before doing a rollout across our organization. Under low loads (25% cpu utilization), fan noise will get annoyingly loud. We're not doing any GPU related and more routine work such as: using web applications, debugging web pages, Microsoft Teams conferencing (audio/video) with a handful of people, Photos downloading from iCloud, Mac Mail downloading a new mailbox from Exchange.
    We DID NOT notice this on our 2015 MacBooks and this might prevent us from continuing the 16-inch MacBook rollout in our organization.
    Interested to hear others experiences.

    @lucuslopez6866 4 года назад

    I brought the macbook pro 16 in and kept it for 1-2 weeks before returning it. The main reason for me to return it was because I noticed some random screen glitches. I assume it was ether software/or hardware issue or a combo of both. But for 2800$ it was unacceptable. My configuration was the 6 core i7, 32gb ram, upgraded 8gb 5500 graphics
    Other minor issues I had are:
    1. Trackpad is too big and I keep misclicking with my palm
    2. Keyboard is too small. Didnt like the location of the Fn key.
    3. Power brick is too big and takes up too much space in the outlet. The angle of the usb c that plugs into the macbook is terrible and is an accident waiting to happen. Wished they bring back magsafe
    4. Battery life was too low. Had about 5 hours doing basic browsing and video watching with screen brightness turned down like 4-5clicks. Took about 3-4 hours to do a full charge. (super slow)
    5. The auto on function was super annoying (found a way to disable it through the terminal)
    6. Catalina was too laggy and slow for my taste.

    The 16” isn’t the largest that Apple created. Several generations of MBP ago, the had the 17” ....

    Ugh I am so confused if I should go all out and get MBP 16 ($2700) or just go with basic Surface Laptop 3 ($1000). So hard to choose. I code and do heavy simulations sometimes but Im like am I really going to do that on a laptop? I have a desktop for that.

      Probably don't need to shell out the extra 1700

      atyl1972 the base version of 16” is fine for you I think. It still has 4gb graphics and 16gb ram with 512ssd with 9th gen i7

    I wish Apple made it 17". I own and still use the 17" MBP and it's a true desktop replacement. Still going after almost 10 years, which has saved me thousands in not having to buy any other machine. Needless to say, I won't be buying a new laptop until I find a worthy 17" laptop, ideally from Apple but now I doubt they'll ever do it.
