Is the macbook 16 (2019) still a good laptop in 2022? 

Mac mini or Macbook? Pick one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JXEUQJ8sCDk.html

Apple has been building solid dependable machines for over over 15 years now. SOLID AF. I bought my 2019 in 2019 and I still edit 4k video no problem. Anything I throw at it, it handles.

my MacBook Pro 16" is i9 16GB and 1TB which is super powerful!! GET IT!!! don't let the year fool you.

Late to the party but anyways.. I think some people are mixing up the 15inch version and the 16inch version. The 15 inch was known to have thermal issues, especially with the i9. These issues were addressed and fixed with the 16inch model with 30% more cooling. Fans were enlarged and made mostly of metal. Several other things were done to help including a return to the older style keyboard etc. Other than the 2015 macbook pro, the 2019 16inch macbook pro is arguably one of the best macbooks apple has ever made, even in 2023.

if you ask Apple, they would say: yes, you should buy a new macbook every single year. But this video explains you don't need to. Thanks. This week I'll buy this guy for recording and editing music on Ableton live 11. I'm sure it can be able to handle it in comfort.

Got this used for live music and music production. Lots of people suggested getting M1/M2, but even at the end of 2022 and most likely well into next year, there are LOADS of VSTs that are only x86. So if you shell out for M1 or M2, you'll need to run everything including your music app in Rosetta anyway in order to use the plugins and you'll probably get a smaller screen, less RAM and have to pay an extra $1k.

I wonder that if it will struggle with 2 additional monitors ? What do you think ? Thanks !

Thank you for making this video. It answered all my questions and concerns.

HI ! I am just thinking about this just today. Can you please tell me how much RAM has those Macbook pro and your Mini ? Thank you !!

Hey thank you for this great video. Will run smoothly in 2023 if I use Photoshop heavily?

Can you service the laptop on your own or do you have to take it to apple? Service meaning battery replacement etc

Salute you Bro from my heart ❤🙏 for speaking so respectfully & honestly to older devices👌 So many other youtubers have badly criticized Macbook pro 16 intel as soon as M1 macbooks came in. All of a sudden those youtubers made this as a very bad laptop. You are right , its basically a tool to get our work done. I used to waste lots of money on the latest tech thinking this is the best ever, again in next year again a new tech come.. I have realized now how much money i wasted trying to have the best tech when there is not much of huge difference older vs newer tech. This video was a eye opener for me. I wont waste more money going for the latest tech when the current tech i have gets my work done. Subscribed your channel and thanks a lot for this beautiful video 👌🙏

Hy just wondering as a creative multimedia student, i work alot with 3D rendering in uni. Currently using Acer Swift 5 16GB i7. In brief, my blender often crash which is very frustrating! Anyways, hows the blender rendering here can you make a review about it?

What about the camera? What is the best Macos update for this device ?

Is ur MacBook Pro getting so hot while running app for editing the videos? And why the fan is working so loudly? It is normal? Cuz I’m so scared I bought a new MacBook Pro 16inch and I don’t want it to burn it up

Thank you bro.

Love it. Thank you for the unbiased opinion

It's the last good option for using BOOTCAMP or stable native t2linux. M1/M2 will get Linux support eventually, but there current options are very experimental. I picked this model, despite not having the option to enjoy the nice battery performance of the new models, this one is still solid. The software and OS options were more important to me. Don't care software support will run out, if you can run Linux eventually.

I just ordered the 16” 2019 Macbook Pro with 64gb RAM, 1tb SSD, 5600m 8gb GPU, andi9 2.4. Got it off eBay for $1,095. Seems like a steal to me! Can’t wait to try it as I am upgrading from an early 2013 pro model which can not run xcode anymore

great review

Thank u really your explanation very will

How about MacBook i9 2019 vs MacBook pro m2 base model ?

how does this i9 stand against a normal macbook air, sure the m1 pro is amazing getting deals on the i9 one which ar every similar to the m1 macbook air but this is a pro and air m1 is air, which one would be better, video editing mostly 8 bit iphone foootage or 8 bit camera footage, thanks

got mines 2 weeks ago. 16gb 512gb ssd 16 inch i7. First macbook since the retro black macbook. love the touchbar actually.

I agree with u 😊

Great video. Thanks for doing this

I got mine MacBook Pro 2019 with 16 inch display yesterday and I am very happy I made that choice. Past few years I have tried out several MacBook Pro versions such 2015, 2018 and 2021 with M1 chip and all were with 13inch display. I used it for programming and work mostly and sometimes for browsing or to watch movies.. I decided to replace my private laptop, the 17 inch Dell with another faster machine and I found this one online, it is MacBook Pro 2019 with 16 inch display, 16GB of RAM, Intel i7 with 6 cores CPU, the battery had only 20 charge cycles, so I am decided to buy it and I am very happy with my choice. 16 inch display is just awesome, I though it will be way too big, but actually 16 inch Mac is compact and I cant even think of going back to 13 inch models back without external monitor, this one is just amazing, it's exactly what I need. Also before this 2019 Mac version I have used M1 Pro and I was not impressed with M1 at all, nothing special in my opinion, Intel is still a thing in my opinion. I would recommend this Mac for any kind of work, and maybe for casual gaming, it's good machine.

What’s your thoughts on the over heating and throttle issue? Do you feel it does over heat very easily? I just purchased a 2019 i7 15 inch and waiting for it to come in. Upgrading from a 2014 mac air. I use my laptop for work as a physiotherapist and at home I have dual 32 inch monitors (not 4k) that I plan to connect my new laptop to. Just an everyday user not and editor or programmer.

i totally agree

I have the same computer but the battery is garbage for me. It last only about 3 hours (just web browsing typing in word, ...) Do you know why the battery drains so fast for me?

Hey TS, I'm running the i9 2.3ghz version of that 2019 16 and I'm thinking about installing Monterey straight from Catalina (10.15) I want to play Warhammer Total War 3 (only runs on Monterey) and 2 runs fine. I would do bootcamp but I've heard that if I do that then the AMD 5500m GPU runs without being able to script/switch to the Discreet integrated GPU and it runs hot enough as it is. What OSX do you use on yours? I've heard Monterey can slow down this mbp and have seen people advise to stick with Catalina (albeit security updates might leave me exposed apparently). Any advice gratefully received.

I got a pretty maxed 2019 15". Someone upgraded everything to the max aside from storage which was left stock at 512gb. I love it! It's so powerful for my needs and can easily run safari with over 30 tabs open of RU-vid, discord, calendar and several other apps as I need. Battery is quite worn but still works. I can get over 5 hours of RU-vid. Right now I get lower (Like 1-2 hours) as I have the laptop set to use the Radeon graphics right now as it is needed for another app running a DVD drive plus my hoard of safari tabs lol. This laptop plus my recently upgraded 2019 iMac suits me perfectly! I don't need the latest M1, M2 or M3's just for what I do. Plus even though I hate windows, I still am not quite ready to give up the ability to boot into it. These older laptops are great for most people even today! If all you need is to browse the web and some minor stuff like word documents then these are way better, because they can be had for way cheaper!

Now it's even more affordable on their refurbished store with Apple.

Great video. Which MacOs is it running? Is it laggy in any way?

Nice video - I am seeing that the 2019s are notorious for keyboard issues - I'd like to upgrade from my 2012 500gb/16gb memory to perhaps 1tb/32gb as I dabble in graphic design & do a lot of photo editing (I use Affinity Design & Affinity Photo) - I save a lot of stuff on an external drive, so maybe I don't need 1tb. I'd like to know what your thoughts are - thank you!

Hey first thanks because is difficult find videos about apps Architecture in macbook! Now i have a question, actually I find a great offer for a Macbook pro 16, i9, 1TB, amd Radeon 4GB, do you think if is the best buy for this year 2023? The price offers is $700 Sorry if my English is not good 😬😬

Which OS are you running

Thinking to get old 60k inr over m2 mini or m1 air

If im able to buy the 2019 macbook 16 inch core i9 1tb 16gb ram for 1100 is that a good deal?

About to get one of these used for a good price because the M1/M2 chips still don't play nice with much of the hardware and software I work with.

MacBook pro 2019 Is this the m1 or?

I still rock this device and I love to use it. Though for me the battery life seems to be much worse. I get up to 6 hours with mixed use. And my battery health is still 95%+. Are you still getting 10+ hours with the latest OS? I may try to reinstal the OS from scratch. Maybe there's some software that uses the CPU in background.

I think there a good choice for younger people or maybe people who just want a laptop for a few things if you can find it for the right price saying that the m1 would be the way to go preowned you can get them dirt cheap and i still see people trying to sell the macbook pro 16” 2019 for way over price

Anyone else having problems with this computer? Bought in 2020 with apple care+. Logic board randomly dies in Aug 2021. Got it replaced. Same issue occurred yesterday…. 2monthd after my apple care expired… So stressed now

5 years? I am still using a mid 2012 macbook pro lol

is this laptop able to run minecraft smooth?

Stumbled across this video, as I just just switched on my 2019 Macbook 16".. I do own a M1 Pro 14", which is a nice machine, very nice, powerful, silent und long lasting.. But still I use my 16" Intel Mac often. Normal use (Affinity, Adobe Vectorart)) it's not slower than the newer one, though less runningtime on battery. BUT: I can bootcamp, meaning I can play some game when I want to.. I love the M1 machine, but I miss the ability to bootcamp much..

Can i consider it in 2023 .. i am getting macbook air m 2 chip brand new 13.5 inch.. and macbook pro 2019 16 inch (preowned but amazing condition) at same prize which one should i consider.. joining university this year .. tech side.. please reply..

Hey, can I upgrade my macbook pro 16 i9, 32gb. I would like to have 64gb ram and newer ssd, maybe M2?

I have a 2019 16 inch i9 16gb 1tb macbook and i love it, newer ones have notch and i don’t like it. To me the touchbar is very useful. I wouldn’t trade it until apple remove notch

for sure

You forgot to mention that its compatible with many applications since most software are INTEL based and not very intergrated yet with m1. Also many of my friends that use the m1 they have many issues during music production when on intel they had none. I am buying one for 880 tomorrow with 64gb ram and 2tb SSD so its a still. I already own m1 max 16" but the price was too good to pass and I can use it with programs that are not compatible with m1 and take it with me to travel etc. GREAT REVIEW.

I bought it in 2022 May…. It was openbox demo… got 1 year warranty from apple still… I ❤ it…

i manage to get the 2.4ghz Core i9 with 16gb and 4gb GPU on fb marketplace with great deal. i am surprise on the laptop and it still hold up good performance for video editing as i'm a PC main user. guess i can use it for 3-4 years more

[takes muffins out of oven] Is my rack of muffins (from 5 minutes ago) still a good rack of muffins now in the future that is the present? I dont understand how 3 years is enough time to even ask this question

I am in the market for my first ever MacBook and I’ve been looking at this specific MBP solely because its intel based. For someone like myself who’s lived on windows their whole life, the ability to run true dual boot is a huge selling point for me going behind the M1 chip. I don’t want to run virtualization, I want to run native windows and have the best of both worlds.

true

I am watching this video to know when I should upgrade mine, but actually I just realized for the work I’ve been doing this is literally all I need, I just want a good battery life pc but big screen, so maybe I will wait one or two year to get the 16 inch m1, cause I really don’t need that much power right now

I love mine, speakers are incredible on it

Yeah I'm kind of looking for that type of MacBook because just want something a little bit better than why I have now cuz I have a Chromebook and it sucks Lol and I don't have a lot of money to afford the latest MacBooks

How did you program the touchbar so you don’t touch it any more? 😂👍 BTW, I love my Intel 16 inch too. It got buried under all the hype about the M1. Very underrated computer.

I’m still using my last i9 32gb 512gb macbook pro 16. i loved it and will use it last time. The main thing I don’t like or bother me is battery life. It’s getting poor day by day.. but I will recommend it.

Hi, is there any keyboard issues like previous models had ? Thanks

I just got one, and I can say it’s an excellent computer that will last me a long time!

Iove Mac book pro 2019 works great. For my usage I can use it until 2025 little bit more. Apple allows me to keep buying Apple care every year.

I have a chance to get this MBP 16 or the huawei matebook 16s, which choice is the best?

I'm upgrading from a 2011 Macbook Pro, any upgrade is good! lol

yes.

3-4 years? Heck, I got to use my entry-level 2011 13" MBP for almost 10. Too bad in early 2020, its motherboard died :(

In earnest, we returned the MacBook Pro (2019), i7 Intel processor, due to the Device over-heating and the Fan noise, It was Not the Best experience....

Not worth a cent man. I have one, if I sold it to anyone it would have to be sold to a power user or computer enthusiast because apples been playing silly buggers with it, big sur / Monterey brought new issues as did the M1 release, and the intel Mac is glitching as well as unable to install windows 10 easily. It’s F’d.

I want apple silicon, but the Touch Bar is a necessity! I hope by the time they stop supporting this laptop with iOS updates there is a new laptop 16" with Touch Bar capabilities again

It is still a great laptop. The 32 and 64 gb versions are as good as any of laptops out on the market nowadays

The reason prices has dropped so much on intel macs is be because apple will no longer support them in the next year or maybe two but the clock is ticking on them becoming mostly useless

heat is an issue. I'm on my 3rd logicboard

I have a i9 16 MacBook Pro and I wouldn’t recommended it, you’re better off buying a used M1 MacBook Air or Pro for around the same price and you’ll get the same performance with 2x the battery life, that and the heat it generates doing anything that isn’t web browsing..

In terms of longevity, the Intel machines won't be supported for long. Apple has no problem cutting support for these Intel machines. Just how they released the M1 a year after they released this 2019 version. Which completely took a dump on the people that bought these brand new.

Best laptop until every software works with M1

M1 16GB, is slower than i9 with 32GB in rendering final cut, I would get a old MacBook Pro maxxed out, rather than a entry level M1, and let the hype fade out. I have been doing that for 30 years and it suited me fine.

I got one for my son £400 on amazon no brainer!

Should I buy it in 2024?

I'm agree with you 99% except about a touch pad. It is a nightmare to use it. Not intuitive, it registers wrong touches, too big and that haptig engine is a face palm in a laptop. Imho

I purchased my laptop from a Best Buy reseller (i7, 5300M, 16GB, 1TB SSD) and it was an absolute HORRIBLE choice, the laptop itself is amazing, the screen is nice and spacious, the keyboard and trackpad are awesome, I love the Touch Bar and the speakers are incomparable to any other laptop. Luckily my unit doesn't really get too hot and the fan noise is a treat compared to any other gaming laptop. The thing that pushed me to ask for a refund was the horrible laggy and sluggish animations, everything takes forever to open(compared to my 2020 Alienware laptop with an i5 11th gen) and there are these "skips" every 10 seconds or so that ruin the experience, Mac OS is supposed to be fluid and fast but with this laptop it is absolutely unusable if you have used any modern windows or m1 laptops. I even tried reinstalling the entire OS but the lag is still very persistent as well as the "skips", especially when using the trackpad. If you want a FAST and RELIABLE laptop, DO NOT get this laptop, NO MATTER HOW CHEAP IT IS. Do yourself a favour and get a refurbished m1/m2 air/pro. It's such a shame that such a nice machine gets killed by Apple just to make the newer laptops seem better, I can't believe that when I installed Bootcamp, Windows 10 feels SMOOTHER than Monterey OS(which is the default OS!!). LET THAT SINK IN! Scrolling through the comment section on YT, waiting for basic websites to load like FB, Reddit, Twitter, Best Buy AND SWITCHING TABS ON CHROME WITH JUST 3 TABS OPEN takes FOREVER. Edit: the fingerprint scanner takes a solid 3-5 seconds to work every time and is NOT immediate

mines better than yours 😂😂😂😂😂 you should have got the good hard drives and graphics card wit it

you are missing the main problem with that laptop. it sucks. the performance is shit. and the heat is ridiculous. apple made the right move ditching intel. in fact, intel is still selling that same 10nm chip. now call the 13....

M2 Macbook Pro 13: I Would NOT Buy It ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wKCGjAalGbA.html

One of the worst purchases of my life. The fans screams so much while doing light photo editing...and don't even get me started with light video editing.
