The best MacBook Pro Apple has made yet
Stunning 16-inch screen ; New and improved keyboard ; Excellent speakers ; Same price as previous model
Expensive ; Limited to four Thunderbolt 3 ports
Expert review by : Bill Thomas (techradar.com)
The MacBook Pro is kind of a titan in the computing world. Everyone knows what it is, and a lot of people want to get their hands on it, whether or not they're actually pros. So Apple launching a new 16-inch MacBook Pro is kind of a big deal – not just...
Powerful Finally, a new keyboard Dedicated Touch ID button
Still expensive Limited ports
The MacBook Pro is more powerful, backed up by a larger display and a redesigned keyboard. This may make it one of the best laptops on the market, but the high price and limited port selection may stop some folks from upgrading.

The biggest MacBook comes with a 16-inch screen and oodles of power. But does it fix the keyboard of previous models and is it worth the asking price?
That sumptuous big screen ; Great speakers ; Great keyboard - it's truly fixed ; Spec options are top notch
Screen isn't 4K resolution ; Battery life can struggle under pressure ; Huge expense when upgrading spec
Apple has produced a monster of a machine that is capable of doing pretty much any task that you throw at it. The screen is bright, crisp, and huge, while the new keyboard is once again a joy to type on - welcome back scissor mechanism.

It really is sweet sixteen as Apple's latest notebook outshines its flawed predecessor
Stellar display ; Plenty of raw power ; Much improved keyboard ; Surprisingly great speakers ; Longer-lasting battery
720p FaceTime camera ; No way to later upgrade RAM
An excellent upgrade for creative pros, and a Mac notebook that bodes well for lower-end upgrades next year

The MacBook Pro 16-inch is a winning combo of style and substance.
Very powerful ; Gorgeous screen ; Much improved keyboard
Expensive ; Lack of ports ; Not enough to win over Windows users
Apple has clearly listened to its customers, including many designers, and with the MacBook Pro 16-inch, it has produced a professional laptop that is ideal for digital creatives, while addressing the complaints that people had with previous models.

Is this the beginning of a new era for the MacBook Pro?
Gorgeous display ; Improved keyboard, peerless trackpad ; Incredible speakers ; Great performance ; Excellent build quality ; Four USB-C Thunderbolt ports
Still no SD card reader ; Fans loud under load ; Touch Bar is superfluous ; No Wi-Fi 6 support ; Heavy ; Pricey
Expert review by : Andrew E. Freedman (tomshardware.co.uk)
The 16-inch MacBook Pro has a big screen, improved keyboard and long battery life, but it's time to add some more ports.
Magic keyboard is great ; Best audio I’ve ever heard from a laptop ; Long battery life ; Strong performance
Pros need more ports and SD card slot ; 32-bit apps and games need replacements or fixing
The 16-inch MacBook Pro has the keyboard Mac users have been waiting for, along with amazing speakers and long battery life. But it’s time to add more ports for pros.

Apple's new 16-inch MacBook Pro doesn't reinvent the wheel. There's little in the way of the innovation we typically expect from Apple. Instead, the company has returned with a true crowd-pleaser, a powerful laptop that addresses every complaint that...
The best keyboard on a Mac ; Excellent performance for content creation ; The 16-inch screen is gorgeous ; Incredible speakers
Expert review by (engadget.com)
Apple's 16-inch MacBook Pro is basically every creative's dream machine, with a ton of power and a vastly improved keyboard. The larger screen makes it more useful than the 15-inch model it replaces, and it even has decent battery life for a workstation.
Powerful Intel CPU and AMD GPU ; Excellent new keyboard ; Gorgeous 16-inch Retina Display ; Best-in-class speakers and mic ; Relatively low starting price
Still only four USB-C ports ; No SD card reader ; Upgrades can get expensive quickly
