The rumors about the 16 inch MacBook Pro are finally accepted by Apple! On the night of November 13, apple suddenly put the 16 inch MacBook Pro on its official website. Instead of adopting the way of a press conference, apple directly put the product on the official website, and the heat exploded instantly.
As an upgrade of MacBook Pro, the machine is equipped with a 16 inch retina display with a resolution of 3072x1920, a pixel density of 226ppi, a screen brightness of 500 nit and P3 wide color gamut. Compared with the 15 inch version, the length and width of the 16 inch version did not increase significantly, but the frame was narrowed and the visual impact was stronger.
In terms of design, the 16 inch version still continues the metal body contour, and has two colors of silver and dark gray. On the whole, the 16 inch version still continues the essence of the MacBook Pro, but the narrow frame makes the whole screen larger, but the overall size is only millimeter, and the weight is only 0.12kg heavier than the previous generation. In the field of mobile phones, it's called 'increasing screen share'.
Of course, in addition to the screen changes, the 16 inch version also has an obvious change, namely, the return of scissor keyboard, officially announcing the retirement of butterfly keyboard. It is understood that the new scissor keyboard has been redesigned with a key range of 1mm, and the new structure used in the key cap can lock the top of the key range into the key cap, which can reduce the possible swing caused by the structure and further improve the hand feel.
In addition, Apple also said that the 16 inch version uses the most advanced cooling architecture, which can increase the continuous power consumption by up to 12 watts under high load. In addition, there is a completely redesigned six speaker high fidelity sound system, including four low-frequency units and two high-frequency units. Although the speaker looks the same as before, its internal structure has changed a lot, and its sound quality has also improved significantly.
As for the configuration part, the 16 inch version of MacBook Pro chooses the 9th generation of core 6-core i7 or 8-core i9 processor as the core configuration. The reason why the 10th generation is not used may be that the 10th generation has only u and Y Series, both of which are low-voltage versions, while Apple may have to wait for the Standard Version, because u and y are not 'Pro' at all.
The 16 inch version of the graphics processor has also been upgraded. It adopts the AMD radeon Rx 5500m graphics card, with the main frequency of 1408mhz and the maximum frequency of 1645mhz. It has 4GB 128bit gdrr6 video memory, which is basically equivalent to the level of GTX 1650. The memory is 16gb-64gb ddr4-2666, the solid-state is 512gb-8tb, and the battery and interface of 100W provide four lightning 3 and one headset port.
There is no doubt that the 16 inch version of MacBook Pro is the most powerful notebook computer in the history of apple. It not only takes into account the performance, but also fully takes into account the portability, the beauty and workmanship Apple has been online, and the moat of Mac OS. However, the price is not cheap. The starting price of the National Bank of China is 18999 yuan, providing deep space gray and silver. The specific time of sale has not been announced.
For whom? Naturally, it's a productivity tool for professionals, such as video editors, professional photographers, game developers, etc. for them, this is a "guy" who eats. The value of owning it is far greater than the cost of buying a machine.
