For the next cycle of upgrades, it's on Apple to bring out a brash new MacBook Pro. This one's solid but only iterative, in a time when many other machines are making bigger strides.

In test configuration, excellent performance on CPU-limited workflows; Beautiful Retina display; Oversize, accurate trackpad; Four Thunderbolt 3 ports

Expensive as configured, with wildly pricey top-capacity SSD; Key travel remains very short; Bezels could use some slimming; No dedicated video output or USB Type-A ports

The new MacBook Pro 15 is a minor refresh to a laptop that needs a reboot.

Keyboard has improved; Beautiful 16:10 display; Thin; light design; Fantastic speakers

Touch Bar is still useless; Core i9 performance is limited

I've been using Apple products for 10 years, and was using a 2012 13" MBP when I bought this. I had upgraded the old one instead of buying the last couple versions because of the unnecessary expense of the Touch Bar. But I needed a new machine, so there wasn't much left to do.

I purchased this laptop because mine broke so thought I would spend that little be more . lovely features and does so much best buy this 2019.

Very happy with my new MAC!!!

So far so good. Works as expected. No issues at this point. Iave had it for about a month now. When opening it, my finger touches the camera lens making it dirty. A bit annoying but I just have to remember to grab it in a different way.

Had been looking to replace a 10 year old MacBook and after loads of research decided that this was the perfect machine. Couldn't find a better deal or faster delivery even from Apple themselves. All round great service as ever from JLP

Is the expensive Core i9 worth it? The MacBook Pro 15 2019 is also available with the Intel Core i9-9980HK. However, the cooling system is already at its limits with the smaller processors, so the upgrade is hardly worth it. The GPU upgrade to the Radeon Pro Vega 20 from AMD on the other hand makes more sense.

Expensive optional upgrades are often not worth it in laptops, especially in slim devices. This is a...

Vega 20 more efficient and much faster than 560X; excellent chassis; very good screen; huge trackpad with great precision; usually quiet cooling solution; good speakers; Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 with DisplayPort 1.4 (AMD GPU);

Core i9-9980HK cannot utilize its full potential; insufficient PSU; fans runs quietly while idling and clearly audible under load; no Wi-Fi 6; neither USB-A, HDMI, nor SD reader; very expensive - especially the upgrades;
