In terms of price and over package for MacBook Pro 2019 16-inch, it is very attractive. Dun think anyone should buy the 13-inch spec out models.

Seriously, looking at the price vs the package. I think one should consider 16-inch now instead of 13-inch (or 14-inch?). It is much more worth it to get the 16-inch for everything that is better than the smaller counterpart.

The graphical improvement is simply insane.

I mentioned β€˜or 14-inch’ also.

Dun think it will be worth it for 14-inch unless there is great reduction in price if it is launched later.

I will wait for the scissor keyboard to be implemented back on the upcoming 14” MBP & MBA next year.

Most probably apple will launch on March 2020 event.

MBA is a redundant line-up. they should kill it and get 12-inch back. then 12-inch, 14-inch, 16-inch will make up the complete line-ups.

Guys, new member here. I'm thinking of getting the new 16-inch to replace my 2013 13.3-inch MBP.

Normal use, some video and photo editing. Pushing almost to the max of my 512GB SSD and 16GB ram once in a while. Sometimes needing a restart. Do you guys think the 16GB ram will be enough with the better CPU etc or should I pay the enormous amount for the 32GB?


Thanks!

That was what I was thinking. I maxed out my 2013 MBP to 16gb back then. Maybe thats why I can still use it now. But, the extra cost is quite a lot. Some people say that we should just go for 64gb since the cost per gb from 32 to 64 is less.

If the cost is not significant and again you have extra notes to burn, no harm getting 64GB also. It is better to overkill after all instead of facing underpowered problem later.

The 64 is not that cheap. Anyone going for the 64? Give me your opinion please. Im leaning towards the 32 actually.

If one does not even know whether to go for 64GB, likely that you do not need it. They are likely for very niche group of people who really know what they want.

Save the $$$ for other things instead.

Thanks for the reply. I think you are right. I went for the full 16gb for my 2013 MBP and I was only feeling that its used to its full potential the last 2-3 years. When I started seeing spinning wheels off and on while working on videos and my RAW photos. I went for the 16gb during that time because I was having hanging issues with my 2008 MBP before that when dealing with RAW files. I dont make it a habit to look at the usage levels etc while Im working, so cant answer if you have technical questions about that.
