so sad doesnt have FaceID yet,

Obviously Apple is differentiating their product range, face-is remains exclusive to iPhones and iPads.

++ physical esc key
+ the end of subpar butterfly keyboard era
+ better sound on an already world class laptop speaker
+ longer battery life
+ 8tb storage
+ 64gb ram

- weight

truly a first class portable workstation.

Most importantly it is cheaper than previous 15-inch and again better. Quite value for money.

dayumm..quite cheap compared to previous 15", think my 2017 15" cost way more than 12k

Rm10.5k for 16” base model.

Damn son!

Hope apple would bring that scissor type keyboard to MBA2020 / MBP2020 lineups

Yeah. Really cheaper. Last year same staring price only has 256gb storage while now has 512gb.

The 256gb extra storage will cost sgd250 to 300 and above to get if upgrade normally.

But a Super deal breAker is the weight. It goes back to 2015 15-inch that kind of weight. WTF.

And no wifi 6. Even new iPhones have it.

Speakers and mic look cool.

Noice, i was going to wait for it but went with Imac top tier + 128GB Ram instead.

I am glad they finally admitted thin is not the answer but all the problems for overheat. Love to see it's not longer thin obsessed piece of hair dryer tho the useless AF touch bar still there.

I think the 13-inch deserves a redesign too with thinner bezels.

But please do not increase the weight like the 16-inch. The weight is insane.

Touchbar is not exactly useful but it is a nice piece of tech. I would love to see it there always. 😜

Can upgrade to this next year hahaha.

I taped mine otherwise it's impossible to use that piece of garbage without hitting the escape key and undo everything i do, like a delete key time fcking bomb. STUPID AF piece of shit.

now that you mentioned the lack of WiFi 6 personally I still prefer Mac's wired 10GbE

wow, 128GB ram what's your usage?

Plus Radeon Pro Vega 48 with 8GB, The 128GB ram of course not coming from Apple but 3rd party Samsung memory. That's the benefit of a desktop with snap in memory stick.

I use it for Image, Video processing plus coding. The imac 27-inch 5k also drives a dual 4k 27inches setup. An Imac drives 3 high res monitors with ease, i can't say about any MBPs, even this new one's fan would blow OFF like JET.

This is MacBook. So wifi is important. It does not even come with wired port for reason. And it should be the case also. It is for on the go unless iMac etc.

Ah, workhorse. Sometimes I just wonder why my Mac mini can utilize like 60-70% of 64GB ram with just a few open tabs without any VM running :x I opened the cover for mine and placed a 20cm Noctua fan right under it to keep the Mac mini, TB3 NVME drives and toasty SPF+ modules cool

Haha, I connect my Macbooks n Surface Pro using Ethernet (dongles) most of the time. Maybe wifi 6 is excluded due to intel (cpu with integrated wifi)?

I’m still carrying my old 2010 dinosaur that weighs 2.5 freaking kilos...

that's beyond insance.

i do connect my macbook pro 13-inch 2017 to ethernet also since my usb-c dongle has it. but important reason is it is running 24x7 at home on my table which i did not even move.

if you are really carrying your macbook pro here and there, it is a different case.

although i pointed the wifi 6 on the new macbook pro. to be frank, for real life usage, the 802.11ac is still pretty sufficient.

dun forget also to support wifi 6, ur wifi router etc needs to support it also.
