Can't beat a good sale on Apple MacBooks. Tempting me to get one.

Don’t buy it if you use external displays.

 

[Palatina2020]

I wonder, if there will be a small update during WWDC to fix this issue..

Not entirely accurate with that sweeping statement there.

Probably, called macOS 10.16

Yeah. I've been eyeballing a new MBP for a few months now. It really depends on if they announce Rust bindings or support to iOS/MacOS at vWWDC I think.

What's the problem with External displays? Is it just a local/user/headspace issue or something widely reported?

If you use the 16" with certain external displays, and with it open (not closed, or clamshell mode), then the dGPU uses 20w of power and the machine heats up and the fans can spin up. Whether it's an "issue" is dependant on if this annoys you or not.

I think Catalina 10.15.5 will fix thing or two related to this (probably having to do with graphics drivers).

Damn, really, this hasn’t been really covered up as it could (I think it’s important).
I have been shopping around and watched every maxtech/MaxYuryev 9to5mac, etc etc vídeos on 16”, 2020 13”, iMacs, Air with or without eGPU. The only mention regarding heat is Air (as we know) and base 13” since they have a single fan and no underside vents compared to the $1799 one.
Thanks for the heads up, any link to dig into that?

Personally, it doesn't bother me. I love my 16"

 

[VPRunner]

They are just so bloody expensive.

 

[calliex]

I saw this video

which seems to have a work around for the external monitor issue. I have not got the 16 yet but hope this work around would help when using an external monitor. Two of my co workers are using the 16 with external monitors with out any issues.

 

[julesme]

The purported fan/noise issue is yet another reason why I hope we get a 10th generation upgrade soon...

 

[Killbynumbers]

I bought my 16" 1TB i9 at BestBuy in April. Their system wasn't working correctly that day and did not add any sales tax to my purchase so I got my MBP for the price that was listed on the website with no tax added. That was a nice surprise.

For me, that's not a deal-breaker (I usually keep my laptops in a "dock" when on my desktop work-area), and sounds like something easily fixed in software.
That said, I do understand how this could be a major problem for some users.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

is it worth buying it what do u guys think? Or should I wait till November for Black Friday or something?

 

[JDGwf]

They are just so bloody expensive.

If it lasts 10+ years like my 13" MBP, then effective the $23/month is worth it
YMMV

I'm thinking about one. Is there anything you don't like about it, or bugs you?

Any other 16" owners? Feel free to weigh in.

 

[ThatGuyInLa]

No wifi6. I have gigabit internet and love to death. Plus file copies of massive content over air is a joy with wifi6.

 

[Demultiplex_Dfunc]

I could remembered buying a Titanium MacBook in 2000 with 400 Mhz for $2000. Running the first iteration of OSX was painfully slow. It is by every conceivable metrics slower than even the iPhone SE today. One thing still remain constant compare to today’s 16”, the beach ball.

I have two 4k monitors and you are saying this high end laptop will not support it?? Please elaborate as I am in the market looking to get a laptop...

 

[lucky6877]

I am holding out for a refresh of the 16 inch macbook pro, hoping they will get the 10th generation i7 with wifi 6 soon, just hope it is really soon and not november as I was originally planning to buy the rumoured 14inch macbook pro which they did not release, so need to upgrade from my 2012 macbook pro soon!

Anyone knows if Apple going to refresh the 16inch soon? Is it worth holding out for it or shall I go for it now and buy it now? Will there be a significant performance increase? What about wifi 6? is it worth holding out for that?

I would appreciate some of your thoughts on the matter, thanks!!

 

[ridddder55]

My mid 2015 is still holding up, would love to have 64GB of RAM, so I don't need to only open up 2-4 apps at one time because I run out of RAM. FCP, Adobe products, and others keep sucking up all my RAM. Although I only have 2 32bit apps I use alot, not sure if I am ready to switch to dongle heaven with USB C everything. Still love my mag safe!

 

[kstotlani]

I am not sure. A similarly configured Dell XPS 15 is $2200 and on discount this MacBook Pro is $2100.

 

[joeblough]

i think costco has the same deal on the 16" macbook FYI
