Featuring a new Magic Keyboard® with a redesigned scissor
mechanism and 1mm travel for a more satisfying key feel, the
16-inch MacBook Pro delivers the best typing experience ever in a
Mac notebook. The 16-inch MacBook Pro also includes a six-speaker
sound system, longer battery life, Touch Bar™, Touch ID®, the Force
Touch trackpad and the Apple T2 Security Chip.
“Our pro customers tell us they want their next MacBook Pro to
have a larger display, blazing-fast performance, the biggest
battery possible, the best notebook keyboard ever, awesome speakers
and massive amounts of storage, and the 16-inch MacBook Pro
delivers all of that and more,” said Tom Boger, Apple’s senior
director of Mac and iPad Product Marketing. “With its brilliant
16-inch Retina display, 8-core processors, next-gen pro graphics,
even better thermal design, new Magic Keyboard, six-speaker sound
system, 100Wh battery, up to 8TB of storage and 64GB of fast
memory, the 16-inch MacBook Pro is the world’s best pro
notebook.”
Largest Retina Notebook Display Ever
Pros love the brilliant 500 nit, P3 wide color gamut Retina
display on MacBook Pro, and at 16 inches, it’s the largest Retina
notebook display ever. Featuring a resolution of 3072x1920 and a
higher pixel density of 226 ppi, the 16-inch Retina display
delivers nearly 6 million pixels and an even more immersive
front-of-screen experience. Each display is individually calibrated
in the factory for accurate gamma, white point and primary
colors.
New Magic Keyboard
The 16-inch MacBook Pro features a new Magic Keyboard with a
refined scissor mechanism that delivers 1mm of key travel and a
stable key feel, as well as an Apple-designed rubber dome that
stores more potential energy for a responsive key press.
Incorporating extensive research and user studies focused on human
factors and key design, the 16-inch MacBook Pro delivers a keyboard
with a comfortable, satisfying and quiet typing experience. The new
Magic Keyboard also features a physical Escape key and an
inverted-“T” arrangement for the arrow keys, along with Touch Bar
and Touch ID, for a keyboard that delivers the best typing
experience ever on a Mac notebook.
More Advanced Thermal Design
The 16-inch MacBook Pro uses the most advanced thermal
architecture ever in a Mac notebook to enable the system to run at
higher power for sustained periods of time. The sophisticated fan
design features a larger impeller with extended blades along with
bigger vents, resulting in a 28 percent increase in airflow, while
the heat sink is 35 percent larger, enabling significantly more
heat dissipation than before. Together, these advancements in
cooling capacity allow the 16-inch MacBook Pro to sustain up to 12
more watts during intensive workloads than the previous design.
Powerful Processors and Faster Memory
Whether compiling code, editing multi-cam video or doing 3D
animation, MacBook Pro customers need pro-level compute power they
can take on the go. To deliver blazing fast performance, the
16-inch MacBook Pro features the latest 6- and 8-core 9th
generation processors with Turbo Boost speeds up to 5.0 GHz, which
deliver up to 2.1 times faster performance than the quad-core
15-inch MacBook Pro.1 Its powerful CPUs, combined with faster
memory up to 64GB for the first time, and its more advanced thermal
design will enable pro workflows never before possible on a MacBook
Pro.
When compared to the fastest quad-core 15-inch MacBook Pro:
— Music producers can play back massive multi-track projects
with up to 2.1 times more Amp Designer plug-ins in Logic Pro® X. —
Scientists and researchers will benefit from 2.1 times faster
simulation of dynamical systems in MATLAB. — Developers using
Xcode® can compile code up to 1.8 times faster. — Photographers can
apply complex edits to photographs 1.7 times faster in
Photoshop.
Next-Generation Graphics
Graphics performance is critical to pros, whether they’re
creating the next big game title, rendering a complex 3D scene or
color grading a blockbuster film. The 16-inch MacBook Pro features
new AMD Radeon Pro 5000M series graphics — the first 7nm mobile
discrete GPUs for pro users. Paired with GDDR6 video memory and
with an 8GB VRAM option for the first time, pro users will be able
to tackle GPU-intensive tasks faster than ever. Customers who
choose the standard configuration will see 2.1 times faster
graphics performance than the previous standard configuration.
Those who opt for the highest-end graphics options will see up to
80 percent faster performance than the previous high-end
configuration.1
When compared to the previous-generation 8-core 15-inch MacBook
Pro with the highest graphics options:
— Video editors using DaVinci Resolve will see up to 1.8 times
faster effects rendering when color grading. — Gamers will enjoy
smoother gameplay with up to 1.6 times faster performance in games
like Fortnite. — In Unity, developers will experience 1.4 times
faster fly-through performance during game development.
To power all this performance, MacBook Pro features a 100Wh
battery — the largest ever in a Mac notebook — for an additional
hour of battery life of up to 11 hours of wireless web browsing or
Apple TV® app video playback.
First 8TB Notebook
For pros with massive asset libraries and large projects that
need even more storage in a notebook, the new MacBook Pro doubles
the SSD storage to 512GB and 1TB on standard configurations. And
for the first time, MacBook Pro can be configured with a staggering
8TB of storage — the largest SSD ever in a notebook.
Higher Fidelity Audio Experience
The 16-inch MacBook Pro introduces a completely redesigned
six-speaker, high-fidelity sound system designed to bring
musicians, podcasters and video editors the most advanced audio
experience ever in a notebook. New Apple-patented force-canceling
woofers use dual opposed speaker drivers to reduce unwanted
vibrations that distort sound. As a result, music sounds more clear
and natural than ever before, and the bass can go half an octave
deeper. An upgraded high-performance mic array delivers a 40
percent reduction in hiss and an improved signal-to-noise ratio
that rivals that of popular professional-grade digital microphones,
delivering super-clean recordings that capture even the quietest
details.
macOS, Designed for Pros
Pro users love the power, reliability and productivity built
into macOS® — designed to take full advantage of Mac hardware,
deliver robust features with the highest possible performance and
work seamlessly with other Apple devices. Dark Mode highlights pro
content while controls recede into the background on the Mac's
stunning Retina display. Sidecar™, a new feature in macOS Catalina,
lets users leverage iPad® as a second display or as a
high-precision tablet input device using Apple Pencil®. Files on
macOS can be quickly browsed with visuals and easy access to
metadata with Gallery View in Finder®. Along with a robust
ecosystem of third-party apps and devices, macOS includes Apple
apps like Safari®, Mail, Pages®, Numbers® and Keynote®, and
supports high-performance apps like Final Cut Pro® X, Logic Pro X
and Xcode.
Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR
Today, Apple also announced that the all-new Mac Pro®, the
world’s best pro desktop, and Apple Pro Display XDR, the world’s
best pro display, will be available in December. Designed for
maximum performance, expansion and configurability, Mac Pro
features workstation-class Xeon processors up to 28 cores, a
high-performance memory system with a massive 1.5TB capacity, eight
PCIe expansion slots and a graphics architecture featuring the
world’s most powerful graphics card. Pro Display XDR features a
32-inch Retina 6K display with P3 wide and 10-bit color, 1,600 nits
of peak brightness, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio and a superwide
viewing angle, all at a breakthrough price point.
