New 16" MBP really has a completely different feel to it

[kave]

I have used almost all Apple laptops since 2001. Ranging from 11" Air and 16" Intel MBP. I must say this new 16" has a completely different feel to it. The previous 16" felt sleek and thin but this feels more boxy and heavy even though it is not by much by the spec.
I would recommend anyone considering switching from 16" or 15" MBP to test these new computers before buying.
It is crazy fast though, where my previous m1 MBP with 16GB of ram and 1TB of SSD storage struggled when flicking through RAW images this just shines. I have the cheapest 16" version with 16GB ram and 1TB storage.

Dare I say it looks more like a Dell laptop that a MBP.

I absolutely adore the feel on my 14" Pro. I like the "boxy" design. It feels sturdy.

Yeah, I tested it at the Apple Store and it is alot bigger than my 15” 2018 MBP.

People who say it is the same size as the previous 15” MBP models need to get their eyes checked.

I would also highly recommened people to check it in store before ordering one.

For me it is fine, because I intend to use it as a “portable Mac Pro” that is used on a table or desk.

For people who are thinking to use this in public transportation or on a plane, get the 14” MBP instead.
