The all-new 16-inch MacBook Pro Immersive 16-Inch Retina Display, up to 80% faster performance and a new Magic Keyboard at Rs.1,99,900

Last year’s best-ever MacBook gets a decent upgrade this year and the screen expands to 16 inches. This laptop is said to fix all of the flaws that users faced with the previous flagship 15-inch MacBook Pro.

The new laptop is claimed to increase the performance by “up to 80%” for designers, photographers, video editors, and professionals. Apple has focussed on a few of the major flaws including poorly designed keyboard, no escape key, insufficient cooling and poor specs that really fall behind the competition.

The all-new MacBook Pro features a brilliant 16-inch Retina Display, comes with the latest Intel 8-core processors, up to 64GB of RAM, next-generation 7nm AMD graphics with up to 8GB of VRAM and a new advanced thermal design, making it the most powerful MacBook Pro ever.

Our pro customers tell us they want their next MacBook Pro to have a larger display, blazing-fast performance, the biggest battery possible, the best notebook keyboard ever, awesome speakers and massive amounts of storage, and the 16-inch MacBook Pro delivers all of that and more

Display

Apple’s Retina Display has always been praised by consumers and with the new 16-inch MacBook Pro they’ve made the largest and the best display ever. Featuring a 16-inch Retina Display with a resolution of 3072×1920 for a pixel density of 226 ppi, brightness of 500 nits, and P3 wide colour gamut.

The Retina display delivers nearly 6 million pixels and an even more immersive front-of-screen experience. Apple says that each display is individually calibrated in the factory for accurate gamma, white point and primary colours. Overall the slimmer bezels around the corner with an immersive display makes the laptop a perfect one for professionals.

New Magic Keyboard

The all-new 16-inch MacBook Pro features a new Magic Keyboard with a refined scissor mechanism that delivers 1mm of key travel and a stable key feel.

Powered by 9th-generation Intel CPUs

Apple has ditched the older Intel CPUs and used the latest 6-core and 8-core 9th-generation processors with Turbo Boost speeds up to 5.0 GHz. For pro-level computing pro-level hardware is required for tasks like compiling code, editing multi-cam video or doing 3D animation, just the perfect workloads to throw at your MacBook Pro.

The Cupertino giant even claims that the new Intel CPUs deliver up to 2.1 times faster performance than the quad-core 15-inch MacBook Pro. The faster CPU is combined with faster memory up to 64GB, Apple has compared the newer MacBook Pro with the previous-gen and here are the results:

AMD Radeon Pro 5000M graphics

Graphical performance is one of the most important factors for a powerful laptop like MacBook Pro and that’s why Apple has updated its graphics to the latest AMD Radeon Pro 5000M series graphics – the first 7nm mobile discrete GPUs for pro users. 

The new AMD Navi GPU is based on RDNA architecture which gives significant performance gain from last-gen and being paired with GDDR6 video memory and up to 8GB VRAM options, the MacBook Pro users will be able to tackle GPU-intensive tasks faster than ever.

Apple says that the customers who choose the standard configuration will see 2.1 times faster graphics performance than last-gen while those who opt for the highest-end graphics options will see up to 80% faster performance than the previous high-end configuration.

  • Gamers will enjoy smoother gameplay with up to 1.6 times faster performance in games like Fortnite.
  • In Unity, developers will experience 1.4 times faster fly-through performance during game development.

Storage & Battery

The 16-inch MacBook Pro gives you huge storage options this time, providing you up to 8TB of SSD storage – highest ever on a laptop. The standard storage options remain to be 512GB and 1TB.

Apple has even upgraded the battery and stuffed as much it could, the new MacBook Pro features a huge 100Wh battery and now provides up to 11 hours of wireless web browsing or Apple TV app video playback.

Thermals & Audio

The 16-inch MacBook Pro’s thermal has been taken care of since Apple received a lot of thermal throttling complaints about the last-gen MacBook Pro. The improved fan design features a larger impeller with extended blades along with bigger vents, resulting in a 28% increase in airflow.

On the other hand, the heat sink is 35% larger, enabling significantly more heat dissipation than before. These cooling enhancements allow the 16-inch MacBook Pro to sustain up to 12 more watts during intensive workloads than the previous design.

Apple has introduced a completely redesigned six-speaker, high-fidelity sound system on the new MacBook Pro that indeed helps professionals a lot. The new Apple-patented force-cancelling woofers use dual opposed speaker drivers to reduce unwanted vibrations that distort the sound.
