A larger screen with an increased pixel density is very welcome indeed. That’s a fairly decent jump over the 15-inch model’s 2,880 x 1,800 resolution, which offered a pixel density of 220ppi. Apple’s move to 16-inches hasn’t resulted in a compromise in image quality, with the resolution being bumped up to 3,072 x 1,920 and a pixel density of 226 pixels per inch.
#2016 MACBOOK PRO DIMENSIONS PORTABLE#
This, along with an almost identical thin and light design that we’ve come to love from the MacBook, makes the MacBook Pro 16-inch a truly portable pro laptop.Īnd, we haven’t even gotten to the screen yet. Much-improved speakers (seriously, you need to hear them) and built-in microphone both round out the 16-inch MacBook Pro as a seriously capable mobile workstation – and one where you no longer feel the need to plug in too many external devices. That’s a compromise many of its rivals ask us to make. You really don’t have to suffer from miniscule battery life just because you’re using a powerful laptop with the new MacBook Pro. The battery life has been boosted with a 100-watt-hour battery (16 WH larger than the previous models, and now the largest capacity laptop battery the FAA will allow on flights) – and in our tests, we were seriously blown away by how long the MacBook Pro 16-inch model lasted between charges. These two updates make this laptop a seriously formidable performer when it comes to graphic-intensive tasks like rendering videos.
And, for the first time ever, the MacBook Pro 16-inch can be configured with up to 64GB of RAM and up to 8TB of SSD storage. Further upgrades are found in the internal components, with 7nm AMD Radeon Pro 5000M series graphics cards making their debut, giving this mobile workstation some seriously impressive graphical grunt.
