if you use 12-inch macbook, it is a super day and night difference in weight.

i used 12-inch macbook previously, even changed to 13-inch macbook pro now, can feel the weight difference significantly.

but 13-inch to me the weight is still acceptable. at least the screen size is bigger and processing power is much better.

Hi all,

I know this is not a question about 16-inch macbook, but i hope someone here can help me a bit.

I am using macOS Catalina version 10.15.3

I would like to know..

1. How can I make the top bar (dunno what it is called, i am very new to Mac OS) the bar that shown the battery with its percentages together with time to permanently shown instead of it will slide off the screen when my mouse do not hover over it?

2. I know that I can split the browsers of 2 different windows from the minimize and maximize button but it is kinda hassle. Is it possible for me to set the configuration to make it like Windows where I just need to drag the browser window to either side of the screen and it will auto split screen to the side that I drag the browser window to?

Thank you

Hi guys.

Finally joining the club. 😁

16" i9 1TB reporting in. 🙏🏼

My initial impressions:-

Coming from using a MacBook Pro 15" 2019, the key d

ifferences that I find most welcoming are:
- the keyboard! finally keys with great travel distance. though sometimes I really miss the snappy stability of the butterfly switches from the MBP 15"
- superb speakers with surprisingly good bass response now. this was very impressive.
- escape key .... ooh, I have missed you so much!
- screen size got a 1" bump. quite noticeable especially when I use a lot of apps in one view.
- battery life is pretty good too.

Now, just read that we should do some CPU clock tweaks to the Turbo Boost to minimise overheating and improve battery life drastically. Gonna do this ASAP! ✌🏼

Nope, didn't experience that on my MacBook Pro 16".

Even my previous MacBook Pro 13"/15" notebooks from year 2016, 2017, 2018 and early-2019 - did not exhibit such issues.

Probably the MacBook in your video is defective, and should be sent for repair.

For your first question,

To show those battery details on your status bar permanently, you need to install a third-party app.

I'm using iStat Menus, and I highly recommend it. Full of various diagnostics for the MacBook Pro including all temperature sensors, etc. Refer to my picture below.

The only issue with US set is the adapter it comes with. You need to replace it with 3 pin UK plug.
Other than that everything is same as if you're buying a unit here. You still eligible for warranty, although you need to provide an authorized retailer receipt.
