I’ve got a 16" MBP… which I love 
I mentioned in another thread that I have been buying a new Mac every year for the past few years but none of them felt worth ditching my 11" MBA for (which I loved!) - that changed when they brought out the 16" MBP, which was handy as that’s when the MBA started showing its age (funnily enough after each OS update it would feel a little slower!!!).
Hopefully this MB will last me a good few years, here are the specs:
- 2.3GHz 8-core 9th-generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.8GHz
- 64GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory
- AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 8GB of GDDR6 memory
- 2TB SSD storage
- 16-inch Retina display with True Tone
I also have an 5K LG display which I also really like - particularly like that I can simply plug in one cable into my Mac which then charges the Mac, feeds the display, is connected to my SSDs for back ups and other USB accessories such as a charging cable for my Kindle and iPhone for photo transfers. I bought the monitor when Apple had it on offer so saved about £400 on it.
I love pretty much everything about this set-up, apart from…
- The price! Why have computers become so expensive? Aren’t advances in technology meant to be bringing the price down
- The black (and somewhat thick) frame of the LG monitor. I would have preferred silver and thinner bezels. But the display itself is pretty amazing.
- Size of display. Think for me a 30" or 32" monitor would be better… but I’m not paying £6K for the new Apple Displays
