Night and day difference with my LG UltraFine 5k. GONE are the heat and loud fan noise. Even when screen sharing Windows 11/Parallels over Zoom (which used to make my Intel 16" sound like a jet engine). Such a huge relief!
Got a tip for us?

Would that people online had more of that. Instead of overreacting and flaming other people from behind their shield of anonymity.
I personally really like it - love the callback visual cues on my silver 14 to the powerbook 12; and it's also a very modern design at the same time. I remember iOS7 - ppl railed against the design decisions (FLAT! BRIGHT COLOURS!) as old fashioned, and that's died down - not everything apple does is great, but it does make leading design decisions that typically catch some criticism before ppl adjust and accept them (NOTCH! FLAT LID! THICK!).
I fell in love with the design language at first sight. It's so reminiscent of the first Mac I bought new, the 15" Ti Powerbook G4 DVI, but taken to the logical conclusion with the unibody manufacturing process.
And it's even better than I expected in the metal. Love it.

What was the Air not doing that the Pro promised to? I never really understand anecdotes like this on here. Either you knew you needed the extra power, or you just wanted the newest shiniest thing. If neither of those are true, why buy it in the first place?
If that makes any sense, they feel much better in the hand/real-world than they do in photos. I have been enjoying the 14-inch quite a lot. The screen is terrific, as is the new design overall.
I can think of something you can do with a woman that you can’t with a MacBook (please nobody correct me)
Yes, for all the trash talk about thick, heavy, chunky, notchy(?!?!), I think it's Apple's best effort at optimizing form and function in the 15 years I've been buying Mac laptops.
yea, I sit in bed, bend my knees up and prop the back of Mac against my legs at an angle while the front of Mac digs into my stomach. This gives me comfortable hand placement to type.
80% of males opt for an active life with their MacBook and a folded sponge inside a plastic cup.
I prefer to put Nutella inside a jar and cover jar with half of a bagel. Pair this with my MacBook
The things I'd like updated:
- The MBP logo underneath is upside down if you put your machine on a Book Arc.
- An extra USB-C port on the right side.
- Colour matched MagSafe cable.
- Side firing speakers so that the sound is clear and not muffled when the machine is in clamshell mode.

The 2019 16 looks more modern and sleeker, but yeah let’s pretend this new one looks better
I see I am not the only one who felt this way about the design when seeing pictures and seeing the new MBP live (my reaction to pictures was just 'meh', while live I literally fell in love) and also about how much nicer it is to hold than the outgoing generation (this I also noticed while at the shop). The feel is quite similar to my previous early 2015 MBP, but the aluminium casing is even nicer to touch (it's just so... smooth?). A lovely piece of tech!
It's as close to perfect as it can be. With very little room for improvement here and there but it's still amazing. I'm so happy!
