[APPLE MACBOOK PRO 16” REVIEW / MACBOOK PRO 2019 REVIEW]

With the exception of the time I “upgraded” from Windows 98 to Windows Millennium Edition (and then immediately back again) I’ve never experienced tech whiplash like I have with Apple’s MacBooks.

Five years ago I made the MacBook Pro 2015 the foundation of my production pipeline; I logged thousands of hours on it, building hundreds of YouTube videos. It had all the ports I needed and it was rock-solid reliable. I didn’t covet it like I do flashier laptops … but I valued it a lot more, because I knew I could rely on it every single day.

Then, Apple did something interesting: it took everything I loved about that 2015 MacBook Pro – and ruined it.

2016 was a dark year for the Apple MacBook Pro. The ports? Gone. The reliability? Lost- along with half my keystrokes on that notoriously fragile keyboard. From shot speakers to thermal throttling to backup failures, the 2016, 2017 and 2018 MacBooks Pro were varying flavors of compromise that I came to detest. It was only my love for Final Cut Pro, the software I use to make these videos, that prevented me from jumping entirely to Windows. 

For the MacBook Pro 16” / MacBook Pro 2019, Apple didn’t bring back my ports or take off the touchbar … but the changes it did make were enough. I’m MrMobile and for the first time in four years … I feel like I’m home. This is the Apple MacBook 16” Review.
