well… "$20 is $20" i suppose.
i like how they give you "VIP" status for spending above a certain number but it just puts you in an area where it's just full of not too impressive discounts area. I can only speculate that the margins are pretty low for hardware retail.
I want the best of both worlds … can I bootcamp to play windows games on this one ?
Yes - that's what I do with mine. Though, it's permanently switched to the dGPU in Windows so you won't get much more than 5 hours of general usage (vs 10+ in MacOS).
battery life running windows is not an issue as i would have it plugged in, but i can PUBG / Dota etc no issues ?
Sure it will run but you lose the Mac OS CPU undervolting so the CPU will continuously oscillate between thermal throttling. It will still perform ok but worse than in Mac OS with more heat and worse battery life (on top of the battery life loss due to dGPU usage).
Also your Mac OS drive will not be visible in windows due to the T2 encryption.
Also the trackpad drivers are crap in windows.
I wouldn't buy this if you want to use windows regularly. For games i suppose it will be ok@qvinto: Precision touchpad drivers are available for Bootcamp which improve it a lot - still doesn't compare to MacOS though.
Wish they had 32gb variants :'(
you can only get 32 if you customise it, so normally no discount pricing for models with more ram cause they are not standard models
Unless you go for education pricing, which allows built to order via Apple.
Otherwise refurbs on Apple.com sometimes have non standard setups and are as new.
Do one needs to purchase windows license to run into this or is it free to run windows on these?
Need license, same as all other windows laptops without a OEM licence pre-installed.
Anyone had any success with price beating the 1TB.
I can never find stock at any OW for the 1TB and therefore can price beat.Yes I price matched it about a week ago. Had no troubles at all when I called them up even with no local stock.
Oh I tried that and they said no stock. Can’t match. Bastards
got one yesterday from 242 Pitt St, Sydney NSW 2000
or you can tried to call Officeworks to order one for you.
<———- dis much ———->
The 16" uses a much more powerful 45W chip and the 13" uses a 28W chip, they're in different categories.
The ice Lake 28W chip is actually pretty good and on a performance/watt basis generally better than the older generation chip in the MB16. The MB16 is faster though in multi-threaded workloads due to having 2x as many cores.
Also worth noting the 16” has a discrete GPU where the 13” is integrated only. Any processes that are going to hit a graphics card will see massive benefits on the 16”.
Whether that’s relevant will depend on what’s being done on the system of course, similar to whether having the extra cores or not will mean a lot for a given task.
@Smigit: Day to day use i find the 16 nicer than the 15inc and my previous 13inch MBP's and obviously things like software compilation is much better.
The only annoying thing on the 15/16 (only occurs when not conencted to external monitor) can be the graphics switching from the intel onboard to the discrete radeon gpu causes micro stutters (very known problem) when doing certain tasks (i.e. back and forth between say an ios simulator, vscode and chrome debugger.) You can lock the graphics to the radeon and it stops the issue (or just connect to an external monitor forces this as well) but its not a problem you would experience on a 13inch MBP. Seems to be a related to just how poor the iris graphics are :)
You can also get the 13 inch 1 terabyte for cheaper than the 13 inch 512 gb. I’m 80% sure the only difference is the storage size but someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
1 terabyte $2969 (OW ~$2820):

this is expected to be updated soon, so look out for more discounts… https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Pro_16
After seeing Ryzen laptops in 1000$ range with touch screens (924 on amazon for 14" lenovo), I find it more and more hard to justify the price of a MBP especially now that thier eco system is about to be revamped to ARM architecture. The X86 will eventually lose support, probably sooner than expected as per tech sites.
I just hate how Umart never has free delivery especially on a $3399 laptop still no free delivery whatsoever, not that free delivery would make much difference on a $3399 laptop
