#APPLECARE FOR MACBOOK PRO 16 INCH 1080P#
The MacBook Pro took 8 minutes to transcode a video from 4K resolution to 1080p in our Handbrake test. That’s faster than average (538.5 MBps) and both of its competitors here. The machine transferred 4.97GB of files in 5 seconds, a rate of 1,017.9 MBps. To test file transfer speeds, we ran our copy test through the Terminal. On Geekbench 4.3, the MacBook Pro earned a score of 31,178, outclassing the XPS 15 (Intel Core i9-9980HK, 28,882), the Blade Pro 17 (i7-9750H, 17,548) and the premium laptop average of 16,121.Īpple’s APFS (Apple File System) makes duplicates of file metadata pointing at files, which makes copying seem instant. Speaker grills flank both sides of the keyboard. Additionally, Apple has adjusted the arrow keys to an upside down “T” layout, making all of the keys the same size and easier to distinguish from each other. (See the Keyboard, Touchpad and Touch Bar section below for the full details.) At first glance, you’ll notice that the escape key is back and that the power button with Touch ID has been separated from the Touch Bar. The keyboard has a few slight aesthetic and functionality changes. The 16-inch, 3072 x 1920 display features True Tone technology, which is supposed to automatically adjust the screen based on your room's lighting to make colors seem more natural, and is surrounded by the thinnest bezels on a modern MacBook Pro. The changes are more evident when you lift the lid. The design is a few years old, but it’s still classy and understated, albeit it very minimalist. There’s a reflective Apple logo on the lid, but it’s otherwise spartan.
Ours came in space gray, but Apple also sells it in silver. It’s a silver, aluminum rectangle, but it’s bigger than the 15-inch model of yesteryear. The MacBook Pro’s overall design hasn’t changed very much.
