QUOTE(cHaRsIeWpAu^^ @ Feb 16 2017, 09:52 AM) battery issue solved already. I think will hold off until new MBP this year (if there is one). im quite happy customer. just a bit overpriced if you ask me, latest razer blade is more worth for money if you dont need mac OS. forgive ignorance, how's razer better? for gaming? better battery life? |

QUOTE(shockk @ Feb 24 2017, 02:27 AM) Hey guys. What's up? some keyboard complaints on macrumors forum. yours?Finally bit the bullet and got my very own 2016 MacBook Pro. My initial impressions after a day of usage, is just WoW! 😳 Build Quality is just impeccable. And this display is just awesome especially with the noticeably-improved contrast ratio over the previous generation of Retina displays of the previous MacBook Pro notebooks. And the Space Grey colour, Oh My God it is GORGEOUS! And the speakers, holy crap, I think these are hands down the best notebook speakers ever, period! There's actually really good bass response! The Touch Bar is just amazing. I could do great stuff like easily bold, underline, italicise, colour my text in Gmail and format text quickly via the Touch Bar in Microsoft Word. And being able to scrub through a YouTube video playing in full screen is just plain awesome too. Last but not least, I love the tap-and-slide function to adjust volume and brightness on the Touch Bar. It is kind of like a Mini-iOS touch screen. 👌🏻 The keyboard is a joy to type on and accuracy is just way better than the previous non-butterfly versions of the previous MacBook Pro notebooks. Sometimes I do find that the limited physical travel can be a bit fatiguing for long typing sessions, but then I'll just plug in my Razer Blackwidow Chroma mechanical keyboard for such usage. Battery life is truly remarkable so far for me for light-to-average app usage. After updating to the latest macOS Sierra, typing a long email (for roughly 20 minutes) on the Gmail web interface in Safari only sipped the battery and the usage time remaining showed a staggering 9 hours+ remaining (constantly) via my monitoring app. My display was set to 30% brightness, and it is sufficient for dimly lit indoor conditions since the total overall brightness output has been increased a lot since the previous generation. All in all, if you are wondering whether this laptop is worth the price, I would say a big YES if you are the type that appreciates bleeding edge state of the art technology. There's just something about the thin build, extreme light weight, and power in such an amazingly-put together and engineered package. Just sharing. 😊 ![]() |

QUOTE(westlife @ Jul 17 2017, 03:52 PM) i already have all the adaptors since i own the macbook 12-inch early 2016 before yesterday. Your adapters are from Apple or 3rd party? The cost of these adapters is the one making me lean to the 2015 plus can use the iPhone with it. Never got that why Apple made only USB C when their most used gadget can't connect. Hope they make the 2017 phones with type C as most from the opposite camp have changed.just seriously cannot get used to the early 2015 rMBP 13-inch keyboard as i am so used to the butterfly switch keyboard already. while i love the apple glowing logo, but the early 2015 rMBP 13-inch is indeed too heavy and bulky comparing especially i am coming from a 12-inch early 2016 macbook. plus spec wise, 2017 one indeed has a lot improvement comparing to the 2015 one, including processor, graphic card, ssd read/write speed etc. now i just need to decide clearly the 2017 model i want to get. More than the logo and the ports, I wish the Magsafe was still there. An essential I feel. Hope it comes back. Your choice depends how important the TB is. Tried out the TB didn't quite see the need. And of course Apple being Apple kept only 2 ports for the nTB! 😠 This post has been edited by johnm: Jul 17 2017, 09:34 PM |

QUOTE(westlife @ Jul 28 2017, 02:34 AM) The memory on the 2016 MacBook Pro without touch bar is marginally slower than the one with 1866MHz of LPDDR3 onboard memory versus 2133MHz, for the 2017 models they all use 2133MHz. plan to go for 128gb. should be ok for basic like web, word proc, simple video edit? can't be that slow right for basic work..?The SSD read/write speed is the same on all models. Slower read/write for whichever models in 2016 or 2017 no matter TB or nTB is due to the storage size. 2017 nTB base model 128gb has a slower read/write speed. But this is the characteristic for all ssd, nothing really model specific. But I assume that no one is going for the 2017 nTB 128gb? Minimally should go for 256gb? 2017 nTB should be a much better choice, it is even faster than 2017 TB due to the higher turbo boost but maybe the nTB cannot sustain the turbo boost for long due to heat but TB one can sustain longer due to higher base clock rate.
