My MBP still 2017 version, plenty of juice left. So ideally upgrade with iMac and use that MBP for travel or backup is a no brainer. Of course, now that i am on the road, kinda miss the iMac powerhouse at home.

if one only has one machine, the 16-inch is a good choice.

I'm hoping the Black Friday pricing is going to be better than the education store. But Apple usually does not do offers for latest products. The machine is very nice to play with by the way. Using it for some video editing and its super fast.

Where did you tested the demo unit in Malaysia?

Sorry, I am not in Malaysia. Picked one unit up from the store to try. I am planning to return it and get the 32gb from the online store.

I read from Macrumours Black Friday on Amazon offering 200usd lesser than rrp.

That's the same as education pricing. :/

Just checked the website for Black Friday. Apple is offering USD200 credit for the 13inch. Nothing for the 16 inch. Looks like have to stick with the education discount. BH has a 200 discount on the 16 inch though.

Any idea when is it available in Malaysia?

I called the authorised reseller they told me either mid or end December.

Finally see in real.

1) at first glance, the bezel does not significantly looks smaller to be frank. Screen size does not look significantly bigger than the previous 15-inch.

2) speaker is awesome, a lot more base than before.

3) keyboard is surprisingly good. It is even better than the one on 2015 MacBook Pro.

Thanks for the heads up buddy

Lusting over the keyboard.

They are the same with my recently sold RMBP 2012

Not really. Feeling is different. It is much like something in between 2015 and 2018 MacBook Pro. Confirmed it is not the exactly the same feel as 2012 which is the same as 2015.

Oooh, I haven't experienced any Apple laptop than my 2012.

Visually it looks the same as my 2012 than looking flat so pretty excited to try. Hope its as durable as the 2012 ones..

It is using scissor mechanism like 2012 but feel still very difference. I have used all keyboards before. The current one 2019 feels the best.

Thank for the info, will go try that out.

Even try also will purchase. Excited for next couple of weeks.

Got mine this afternoon...

Agreed with you...

The speaker damn awesome

Got to see it in person today in Japan. The screen really does not gives you the wow effect if you coming from previous gen. Screen is not edge to edge, visually, is not much significant than last. To me, is the return of physical esc keyboard, finally! MBP is not dumb AF anymore. Someone did wake up and not being STUPID as human being putting esc key in touch bar.

for imac , did u go with baseline model or upgraded one ? what part of imac can upgrade ? thinking of getting imac or mac mini or mbp 16
