I previously own a MacBook Pro 15 inch 2016 version. I used the laptop for 2 years+ and went through multiple repairs due to the faulty keyboard. At the end Apple gave me a full refund of the amount I paid this year and I waited for a refresh.
Saw them released this 16inch and immediately ordered one.
What a big upgrade (for the same price I paid three years ago!)
I got twice the amount of Ram, twice the core count (8 core) and twice the graphical power.
I have not benchmarked this laptop because I had been using my iPad as my main computer (and stopped coding and editing photos for some time) but what I immediately noticed is how much better this keyboard felt compared to the old keyboard.
The improvements in speakers are noticeable, but not "groundbreaking" compared to the previous 15 inch. This is definitely the best laptop speakers for now and anyone who came from a laptop other than the 2016 -2019 series MacBook will be pleasantly surprised with the audio quality.
Sidecar is extremely fluid when paired with my iPad. I could draw with the Apple Pencil on Photoshop with pressure sensitivity when using sidecar! (No more reason for me to get an external monitor)
I felt like this iteration is the laptop apple should have released in 2016. It's not groundbreaking or anything, but it felt more like a fix for their mistakes in the past.
Also, I got apple care+ from elsewhere because it covers accidental damage too (would recommend getting that instead of the one in Malaysia)
This is the specs of my thicc boi:
