13 November 2019
Apple went back to the scissor keyboard design after many complains about the reliability of the butterfly keyboards. Also, there's an Escape key.

So technically not because there are are RTX 2070, 2080 laptops but the 16" MacBook Pro will likely be the fastest laptop that isn't extremely bulky and doesn't scream "look at me and my 1000x RGB LEDs! I am a gamer".

But at the same time yeah because it's the fastest laptop that doesn't look like a Christmas tree, is relatively portable and has a decent battery life.

    Sustained 3.5 is too optimistic while 3.0 is more realistic tbh.

      Baykko, 13 Nov 2019Is this the most powerful laptop released? are MacBook's ge... moreIts not the most powerful. But its the most flexible in a nice durable design. And with money, no compromises specs, all the storage and ram you need.

      It runs all x86 OS out there, macos, windows, linux, android, chromeos. Favored by developers. Some of the world best calibrated screens for graphics designers.

      However, thats for pro users.

      In recent years, the rise of the influence non-pro, ipad loving Millennial tainted this great laptop. Practical things like function keys, give way to touchbar low profile keys. OS support for emojii and accented keys broke default settings pro users use.. but good news all these can be reverted using terminal commands. Apple is moving back to the pro users slowly.. because those are the one paying. Not some starbucks showoff who just buy a coffee and sit there the whole day.

                New keyboard +1k euro in price xD

                  Wow still as pricey as the previous models...would love to know what a student like me who does light video editing,animations and heavy gaming should use under $2000 but over $1000...Which brand:Msi,Alienware,Acer or Asus?

                    Is this the most powerful laptop released? are MacBook's generally the most powerful? Because that seems to be the general idea and why every high status person seems to have one.

                            Now I just wish the company I work for would give us these instead of the crappy Windows stuff they keep shoving down our throats.

                              for nearly 2500 euros it suppose to be an amazing one

                                Since Ive is not longer very important...Apple did improved signifacly its products in the last year such

                                - iphone with proper battery life and cameras
                                -true modular Mac Pro, not that trash can that was design over function and sold to its PRO customers
                                -macbook pro 16" with proper thermals, battery and keyboard, nexy year probably the 14" and the macbook air will be the same
                                2019 Was and it is the Apple changed in a good Apple

                                  Finaly apple again, listened to its customers
                                  Better thermals, 100W battery, reliable keyboard

                                    Excellent base configuration from Apple in recent times! Good enough for mode of the people who are not involved into heavy graphics or virtualisation projects

                                        I hope the thermals are good on this. Octacore 9th gen Intels at 5GHz aren't exactly ultra low voltage. Would be a shame that those who splurge extra on it get throttled back to 3.5GHz
