I believe Dimitri (HardwareCanucks) switched over to Final Cut pro. He was blown away by how quick it is.

I waited and waited for the 13' with touch bar man. I had $1500 saved and ready to go for it the day it came out. I was so shocked that they priced it at $1799 at the event. I went out the next day and bought a nearly maxed out XPS 15 and am happy with it.

root I agree but people buy these because they want macOS. The build quality is really impeccable. There are other well made notebooks out there but not really any cheaper. When they are cheaper, you’re getting less somewhere. Either the CPU, the ram, the SSD size, the display. Scaling in Windows just isn’t as good as the Apple solution. That’s probably due to having to support a shitload of different displays but it’s still a problem. The trackpad is also the best in the business with all of the gestures and force touch. It would be cool if they add support for the pencil in the future. This would definitely be a welcome feature. I have a 15” and that’s what I base my opinion on. I honestly wouldn’t buy a 13” MBP. For $2000 and over you really should have a quad core i7 and a dGPU. I would never pay for the 2TB SSD either. You’ll never get back that premium when you sell it.

Thanks for this very clear cut and honest review. I've been struggling to figure out whether to buy the new 2016 Macbook Pro fully loaded with the Radeon 460 or get last year's 2015 Macbook Pro with the dedicated GPU. After weeks of back and forth and finally watching your video, I decided to go with the 2015 model. It retains all the ports needed for my photography and video editing needs, SD card slot, slightly larger battery and the keyboard I've been accustomed to. Still not a fan of the new keyboard despite spending nearly an hour at the Apple store testing it out. Since you edit with Adobe Premiere, are there any other laptops you would recommend (that have a 15 inch screen and build quality similar to the 2015 Macbook Pro) but optimized to run Premiere? Keep up the great videos, thanks!

See, I just have one problem with Apple's "aggressive" approach. Yes, time moves on and we need changes, and those industry leaders are the ones that need to make that change happen. However, there are different ways to be "aggressive" and implement changes. We didn't switch from steam engine to electricity in one day. Take the new Macbook as an example: Why don't they keep two old USB ports while changing the other two as USB-C, and use a USB-C charger? People will be able to use those USB-C ports and buy USB-C products, thus getting transitioned into the new tech, and at the same time, still able to use their old tech for a while. Yes, old USB ports will keep the laptop a bit thicker, but is thinness really that important? After a smooth transition year, Apple can just take the all USB-C approach the next year. Same thing for iPhone 7. They could totally have kept the headphone jack, but put a pair of wireless earbuds in the package. User will get used to Wireless earphone, and then the next year they can get rid of the jack. Change isn't a bad thing, and we always need them. But just like other things, when we run too fast we stumble. What Apple is doing right now isn't for the good of change, but more for the "we are innovating something" marketing strategy. Getting rid of "old-fashioned" ports, getting "thinner", all sounds cool but not really useful in actual usage. Afterall, we(at least most of us) buy tech to use as a tool, not as living room decorations.

I'm not really criticizing them, to be very clear. I'm just sad to see a company that used to be proud of product usability and efficiency turning into a company that rely on marketing.

@LeoChanlch

On one hand Apple has to deal with people saying they lack innovative products year after year, but people fail to realise its the old ports and slow data transfers thats been stopping us from moving forward. I see your argument of having a smooth transition with multiple ports, but the amount of time, money and engineering that goes into these designs are humongous. They cant afford subtle changes and having to update the assembly line every year and then. So once they have the technology and the vision, its a no brainer to go all in. Now i have never been a apple user due to compatibility for what i do for a living but its difficult to not appreciate what apple is doing to the industry

It's 2022 and USB A is still more used than type c in laptops

Im so glad you've shot up to get almost 400k subscribers Dave. Been a follower since you had like 30k lol

I'm someone who floats between different brands and different platforms. There is no denying that Apple make great looking products. The problem is that the premium they charge for those products just isn't worth it. The new Mac Book Pro is seriously underpowered. Dell's XPS range was released earlier and has the seventh generation of Intel CPUs in it and Microsoft are offering creatives more. Seriously, why did they think a touch bar would be desired when laptops such as the Surface Pro range are offering High res touchscreens?

No you won't be good in a year. Stop saying that... You can already buy everything with USB C, but you won't be compatible with the world. In a year most people will still have USB A flash drives and external harddrives. In a year everyone and their mother will still use SD cards. These things won't just go away, sorry. Implementing USB C is a good thing, that's not the issue... The problem is removing everything else. In a transitional period you give BOTH OPTIONS. It's as simple as that. And the keyboard has less travel than tablet keyboards? Wh00t?

@okleid

Completely agree with your statement. At least leave 1x USB 3.0 and the SD slot. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever to remove everything for 4x USB-C. After 10 years of Mac, I've switched to Microsoft and I'm very impressed so far. Much better than the Windows I remember from 10 year ago.

It is crazy to go over thinness of a build and/or future readying of devices when it comes at the cost of convenience to consumers. The people who are buying a device that costs a shit ton to use TODAY. Also, for these macs specifically, the touchbar doesn't seem to add as much to any workflow as it takes away from them. I never look at my laptop keyboard, thanks to muscle memory, and also thanks to the static nature of the I/O. If the I/O keeps changing, i'll never be able to concentrate on my workflow and i'll start looking for things to work and make sense, thereby wasting time.

The keyboard wasn't just loud and bad to type on, we now know in 2021 (and as early as late 2019) that it was a massive design flaw. The butterfly mechanism was flawed from the beginning, and the fact that they pushed it so aggressively just goes to show how low Apple went until recently.

WORST MACBOOK ERA 2016-2019 Finally we have returned to the PRO

While review is good, I kinda disagree with USB type C point of view. From my past experience, older (USB3.0, etc) technology is replaced by newer (USB type c) one when product makers (say accessory makers) start to make significantly better product with new one and consumer preferred that. Then no one uses older technology and becomes obsolete. I think computer maker job is to make old and new technology available so consumer can enjoy all options until CONSUMER decides to fade out older technology. Apple failed horribly this time. For example, tape was replaced by CD because CD provided much better sound and convenience factor for consumers. Sony (just an example company) always made their stereo player that could play both tape and CD. It's not Sony's stereo player which forced music company to make CD; it is music company stopped making tapes which forced Sony to drop tape. It's not the best analogy but just illustrating logic and it's just my opinion

Great review ! Thx for mentioning Adobe RGB for us photographers who do nothing at all in or with DCI-P3.

I do not think USB 3 will be replaced anytime soon. I like to be wrong though.

Am sure your 2009 MBP can support up to 16GB RAM and a 2TB SATA SSD that can do 550MB/s. just stick with that imo. The new MBPs have everything soldered: RAM, SSD, CPU....

That because FCP is a lighter software with less thorough optimization of the end product i.e. the video itself, premiere is the best there is because they cut far fewer corners.

***** I use the Macbook mainly for school and Logic X Pro. It does the job really well. Many of my friends that switch from Apple products regret it. Even if they buy other premium laptops or phones. Too many issues and not as great support.

Watch MKBHD's and Jonathan Morrison's video reviews as well. All three, Dave included, have pretty differing opinions so it's nice to see all the points of view. For example, Dave is the ONLY reviewer I have found so far that thinks the speakers are worse (and it's his opinion so that's fine if he thinks so.) All the other reviewers though think the speakers are FAR better on the new MBP.

This is "Macbook Air 2016". Pro my ass.

2018 and usb c still isn't as close to being a big deal as you thought

Man you're reviews are just bang on 👌

I like how you were honest. Nowadays with companies sending people free stuff the reviews tend to just be bubble gum reviews but your review was honest and that's something I don't see on here. SUBSCRIBED!

if they won't change this keyboard - Macbook Pro 15" 2015 will be (sadly) my last Macbook... after that, I'II go for Dell XPS or Razer... but I love MacOS! It's like Apple forcing me to go for Hackintosh! :-/

i feel the same way, I have been a Mac user since OS 9 but these things are too expensive for me to justify. The low-end model is anemic in terms of storage and ram. My 2012 Macbook Pro is starting to show it's age but my next purchase will probably be a Razer Blade Stealth, talk about bang for your buck

Great video Dave. I feel at this point Apple has maxed out the traditional laptop with their 2016 15" Macbook. Like you said the optimization is crazy with Final Cut but if your an Adobe User the XPS, Zenbook, razor and surface are great competitors. Love that tech is this close, apple's going to have to start innovating again soon. something about a touch bar seems counter intuitive to a touch screen....

love you man :D great review as always :D

Are you kidding?! For professional users USB will remain the standard for next 10 years! All my lab equipment, JTAG, oscilloscope, power supply dataloggers, logic analysers $$$$ thousands worth of equipment that still use USB and will do so for a long time... problem for professionals is that lots on my equipment doesn't work through USB HUBs so this machine is useless !!! I really wanted to upgrade my 2012 MacBook Pro but now I need to get the previous model ?!

I don't understand people who buy an apple, and then use adobe premier. That's the equivalent of chopping a tree down with an ax when there is a chainsaw right next to you. If you don't know or don't want to learn FCP, then just get a windows pc.

Son_0f_Ares agreed. Even if the interface is worse in your opinion the amount of time you save due to the ridiculously fast performance adds up to like two or three extra weekends of time per year. Premiere is so slow. Coming from an nvidia card owner.

It's about preference when it comes to FCP and Adobe Premier. Do you want to work as Apple thinks you should work or would you like to customize how everything will work around you? That's pretty much it.

If all the comments on the internet are to be believed, Apple might as well call the next Macbook Pro the "Final Cut Pro book". Seriously, do people really think that's all it good for? You might buy a Mac because you like the design, you like macOS, you are just a fanboy, you don't like Windows,you are a swift developer,god forbid you actually prefer Pemiere over Final cut pro,...

Korax but if you really want to use adobe premier why not just go buy a surface book, its about the same price and performance except premier likes Nvidia. I'm just saying that FCP is really well optimized for Mac and itd be a shame if you bought a mac for video editing but aren't using FCP

no accessory maker will move on to USB-C because its on Apple laptops, Apple already has like 15% of market share, so USB-C only macs are even less than 1%. The only thing that will happen is that macbook users will suffer from using and paying for dongles

@samy24ar

7 жыл бұрын

If you're talking about desktop market share, MacBooks have about 7% of the market share. Windows rule with 90%. Actually some Windows PC makers are also going towards USB C like Dell. Obviously they have legacy ports but they are heading in that direction.

@toransilverman

Yes, the market will eventually move to the new standards, but now isn't really the time to remove legacy ports only to force people to buy dongles, especially on a "Pro" ultrabook. If this were a regular consumer laptop designed for internet browsing, word processing, and light gaming I think there would have been less complaints. There would be grumbling about having to buy an dongle, but probably not outright complaints. This, on the other hand, is a "Pro" labeled device that is most likely aimed at professional users. That means people are going to be actually using legacy ports because their multi hundred to thousand dollar devices, like cameras, can't be easily replaced. Yes, lets phase out old standards, but not on "Pro" devices until the standards aren't needed any more.

I agree exactly thats just their excuse to screw their customers over. Just like the i phone they say the future is blue tooth lets get rid of the head phone jack on the other hand on the new MacBook pro they keep the head phone jack now you need a dongle to charge or back up your phone this is basic stuff if USB-C is the future why didn't they make their i phone 7 chargers USB-C the dots just don't connect.

if there isn't a big company like apple that is aggressively choking off legacy ports, no one will, and then no one will adapt. USB-C is an objectively better port, but it wont be useful unless things are made that use it.

By far the most honest review of this product. Thumbs up man.Keep doing stuff like this.

Great review! I returned it after a few days of usage. The keyboard started to make high-pitch noise when it gets a little hot (when watching a flash-based video or running parallels).

Excellent review Dave! You basically summed up my opinions on this laptop: USB-C, while inconvenient now, will be great in a year or two; the hardware is excellent with the exception of the GPU; 16gb of RAM is enough for me but I understand people that want more; the Touch Bar is largely pointless as keyboard shortcuts are pretty much always quicker and more reliable (not contextual and changing all the time); and the price is wicked high. One thing I think would have pushed this product to the next level is if Apple gave that massive and gorgeous trackpad Apple Pencil support! I think it's a majorly missed opportunity and as a graphic designer I would have loved that feature and left my Wacom at home. As it is, I'm gonna have to pass because I don't have $4000+ burning a hole in my pocket...

Well, I can report in 2021, USB-C is arguably WORSE than it was in 2016; it never really panned out, and Apple had to add back ports because of it. In fact, they made a successor to the 2015 model for the 5th generation models; the 4th generation (from 2016 - 2020) was a dead-end in pretty much all regards.

Totally loving your review! I have used Apple products for a long time now (8 years), and have owned 3 Macbook Pro`s, Iphone 4, 4s, 5s, 6 and now currently on the iPhone SE (because of size) Have also owned Apple tv`s, airport express and so on. I love the Apple eco-system, the feeling it gives me to use it, and the ease of setting up. (It just works!) But with the prices apple now are taking i will be switching over to a new microsoft laptop of some kind when my Macbook pro gets to slow. When buying into the eco-system i always accepted that the prices was high, but now they take it to the next level, and the feathures dont match those prices. ("It's all 'bout the money, It's all 'bout the dum dum.......") .... A book about Apple with some pictures = 300 dollars anyone...?? Some thoughts about the 2016 macbook: 1. The price... Just insane, when you can get a Dell XPS, Razer or any company gets you waaay more than Apple :( 2. The dongle shait! It is not in any way good solutions with the dongle situation. If i were to charge my iPhone.. Well it won`t work without a dongle.. Connect my samsung smart-tv to it? Well not without buying a dongle. At least they should add the HDMI and USB dongle in the box... (of course i know WHY they dont) Macbook is no longer a PRO machine, just extra premium super duper priced machines and not mutch more. I could say a lot more, you all get the picture. Apple has gotten to gready, and it pisses me off. Just look at Black friday... Giftcards from them,(that has to be used in their stores) not any disount on the new computers, watches and so on. (at least not in Norway where i live) Think something has to change at Apple, like dropping prices or something! Just my thoughts. :) PS: Sorry for my English.

Solid review. Your work is squeaky clean.

Love the wallpaper your screen always has behind you during reviews. Where do you get them?
