Is the 16” MBP a Worthy Buy?

[Viamusic10000]

This forum is not the norm. I have tons of Apple products, iMac’s Macbooks Homepods Apple Watch iPhones Apple TV’s etc...never had an issue with one that they list on here all the time. It’s mostly user error unless it’s some fudged up OS release that usually gets fixed.

How is a slow screen response time and popping speakers user error?

A lot of people here love the 16" MPB and would recommend you to buy. However I would take their review with a grain of salt. While the 2019 MBP 16" is arguably Apple's greatest laptop to date maybe if won't fit your needs.

The screen is still the one of the industry's best but it shows its age (relatively weak contrast compared to OLED, only 220ppi, 4-year old tech ...) If this is a deal breaker for you I'd advise you to wait for the 2020 model. That's what I'm doing too.

Aside from the screen and design, almost everything else in this year's MBP has been revamped; much more comfortable keyboard, thinner bezel, 512GB SSD as base option, much better graphics, and incredible speakers.

Technically the ppi is 226.

Did I make a mistake buying the 2,799 model?

No, of course not. It is more future-proof. Even if you do not intend to keep it for a long period of time, it may retain a better resale value.

Get it. My friend had a 13.3" and she uses her 16" 100x more. Must be the keyboard and how much bigger it is and faster.

It's an excellent laptop. Good battery, lovely screen, excellent keyboard, and sensibly placed Esc key . I was hesitant because I already had the previous model but the keyboard was bugging me so much. So glad I went for it.
