Apple MacBook Pro 15 2019 in review: Still a very good multimedia laptop in 2020?
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.

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;
