I like the specs and ports, but I don't like the black area around the keyboard and notch. I really like the 2012-2015 design better, that was peak IMHO. I'd rather have a bezel on top, TBH.
Now it looks like a Windows laptop that's trying to look like a MacBook.

Yes, how could they have made it a whole…well 0.06mm thicker! Shocking!
You may not want to see it, you will never be able to unsee it.

I think Apple reports the thickness without the feet included, so it looks thicker than the actual measurement suggests.
I don't buy the claims that the extra few inches means better performance though. I think that is more how its used than just size...
Must be because of the screen resolution the user chose (HiDpi)
I’m interested in this for one reason and one reason only - I refuse to buy a pastel-colored, white keyboard and bezel MBA next year. I’m glad the smaller MBPs now clearly cater to people that can use the power, I can’t, but I guess I’ll sign up for this beast if they don’t deliver a proper space gray MBA with next year’s redesign.
Interesting, great to have a good look at it. I’m actually liking the fact it has a bit more heft. 2016 onwards was sleek n pretty but did feel a touch flimsy even if that wasn’t the case
I just compared specs of the 16” MBP with specs on my 2015 15” retina MBP. You people calling the 16” chunky must have never owned the 2015 model because the 16” still isn’t as thick as the 2015. WTF?!? People, you all need to recalibrate. This thing isn’t thick or chunky. Besides, I’ve listened for 5 years to people denigrating Apple and Jonny Ive form over function BS and now you’ve got what you wanted and have the audacity to complain about it? GTFO. More Prosers.
I dare say it improves the thermals some though
Whats really bugging my OCD is the ACTUAL curve gradient of the notch to the edge of display of the MacBook Pro, it looks to square to me at the corners not like the iPhone that's more rounder (softer looking) and mirrors the opposite corner gradient of its display.
Then to further bug me the bottom edge of the panel has 90 degree corners ?

“Proper” Space Grey, what does that even mean. Apple gets to decide the design. Too many people here who want others to think they bought the pro grade laptop, and that pastel color will give you away. That’s really what this is all about.
I have my menu bar set to automatically hide and show, same with the dock.
How does it look when the menu bar is hidden?

When was the last time you used a floppy drive? When did you last use a USB-A device? Apology accepted.
Weird that people keep saying "too thick" and "looks chunky"
Didn't they hate how unnecessarily thin Macbooks have gotten over the last half decade? Do they not understand that thickness allows Apple to put more battery in a body? And all the ports they complained were missing?
Pick a lane!

And when it becomes possible to hide all the sensors under the display the top right will become the top left which ultimately makes this a silly argument.
Every MacBook in history never needed a notch to be “recognisable” either. The Apple logo on the back was enough to show off in ads etc. Weird how it’s all of a sudden become an argument for the notch to make the MacBooks recognisable.
I love Apple products but a lot of people on here are completely brainwashed by Apple. So many trying desperately hard to justify the notch, going out of your ways and jumping through hoops defending their every decision as “the right thing”.
That’s the thing, it’s not Jonny Ive but hell it’s not like we’re gonna marry it for it’s looks, just needs to be a kick ass laptop
I saw that but if apps in “full screen” still leave the menu bar up top then content will be squared off.
What laptop from the 80s looked this good?
Yes, to me it was a shade darker than the current MBPs. I really liked the color and I'm glad I ordered the space grey.

Maybe we grew up differently but…
