Facts You NEED to Know 16” MBP before you buy. Seriously

[Ries]

Has anyone read the 802.11ax (WiFi 6)? My reading is it that it really shines in crowded environments such as a stadiums, airports, etc. Any speed up from using new bands is at this time dependent on these bands being allocated for Wifi, which has not yet occurred, but may in the future. Also it requires both the Wifi Access Points and the device to support 802.11x.

So it should be great, but needs the infrastructure we use, Access Points, etc to be upgraded.

It improves speed, able to handle more devices at the same time (8 vs 4), improved latency and lesser interference in areas with a lot of wireless access points (I can see like 30 in my apartment).

Wi-Fi is set to get better and faster. While plenty of routers are already available with chips using draft specifications, 802.11ax Wi-Fi was not finalized until Sept....

For me, the only thing now missing is a good front facing camera, not the old kind that they been using for quite a while and fix the T-2 chip, and that touch bar, then I would reconsider buying one.

I would have Financed one with the Apple Card or Barclays IF.

#1. It had WiFi 6 ( this is inexcusable)
#2. It was a 10nm 10th Gen Intel CPU
#3. Needs a 16” Samsung made HDR OLED Display (I’ll overlook the lack of 120Hz)

Everything else is just fine, I’ll forgive the AMD GPU because I’ll never play Games on a MacBook Pro.

intel 45W 10nm cpus arent gonna be out for another 1-2 years and OLED displays will not make it to apple's laptops

what about the actual horsepower in the computer? you weren't gonna use it for that?

Personally I'm going to wait for the 2,100 HOLOGRAMLED MacBook Pro.

Agreed maybe my presentation isn’t as polished as it needs to be. I would say look at the message before others are attacking the messenger. I can not in good faith let people praise Apple for this 16” MBP

and someone else point out how does Apple takes a 15.6” OLED Display and call it a 16” MBP Display eventually. And I’ll say the same way they take a 6.3 Galaxy OLED Display and call it a 6.4” IPhone OLED Display just thinner bezels or they contract Samsung to make them a custom 16” OLED Display now that Samsung has successfuly fielded and proven the laptop OLED market they have the massive capabilities and capacity to fill an OLED order from Apple.

Yea, this is a total troll post.

Cool. Go buy a computer you like. Millions will boy this and be thrilled with it.

No SD card slot is a killer for me. I know apple has it reasons, but this is a laptop. NOT A DESKTOP. I do not want to sit on my couch, while having a thunderbolt dock plugged in falling between the cushions. SD card slots are still to this day used on almost EVERY electronic that can transfer information.

I'm not an expert ontechnology, nor do I understand much about the best display technology, but I do know my 3 year old OLED TV no longer looks like it did when it was new. It has dimmed in a few areas and due to my son's constant ESPN watching. It has a nice almost shadow-like image on the bottom of screen where ESPN has their banner. The TV is not uniformly bright, or dark, anymore. It was not a cheap purchase and it was state of the art when we got it. As such, I don't think OLED as it exists today is ready for what we need in a laptop that will likely last 8 years.

My research shows that screen burn-in is a problem with these displays. Several articles confirm that pixels on an OLED panel that are used more often than other pixels will become less bright over time and creating an uneven image. There are different types of burn-in – temporarily or permanent – but generally my research seems to show OLED displays don’t age as well LCDs.

Lastly, these displays are available in 15". Not 16", or 17" for some other brands that want them. Yes, they are eye candy new. Just like my TV and OLED phones. But when worked hard is it what we want? At least I don't.

The laptop we all want is always just coming next year....yet every year we determine not yet. So eventually we're left behind with old things rather than doing great work with good tools.

Have you ever owned a MacBook Pro? What would you use it for? I am only asking in good faith to not violate the MacRumors terms and conditions of calling someone a troll, so I don't want to do that. You always do that same thing in the iPhone and iPad forums, and about a week or two later you claim to own that product and you continue, so I am looking forward to your future MacBook Pro posts. Just letting you know that people notice these things, and when you are complaining in one week about something Samsung has, we will all know. But we know already.
