This morning, Apple announced its new 16-inch MacBook Pro that has been in the Apple rumor mill for a while now.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro will be replacing the 15-inch MacBook Pro, which has been with Apple for over a decade. Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Pro is still available, as it is one of the now-two options for MacBook Pro sizes.
When it comes to specifications of this new MacBook Pro, the baseline model has the following for $2,399.
- 2.6GHz 6-core 9th-generation Intel Core i7 processor
- Turbo Boost up to 4.5GHz
- AMD Radeon Pro 5300M with 4GB of GDDR6 memory
- 16GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory
- 512GB SSD storage¹
- 16-inch Retina display with True Tone
- Touch Bar and Touch ID
- Four Thunderbolt 3 ports
The model that is a step up from it at $2,799 has these specs:
- 2.3GHz 8-core 9th-generation Intel Core i9 processor
- Turbo Boost up to 4.8GHz
- AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 4GB of GDDR6 memory
- 16GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory
- 1TB SSD storage¹
- 16-inch Retina display with True Tone
- Touch Bar and Touch ID
- Four Thunderbolt 3 ports
The RAM can be maxed-out to 64GB and the SSD can be maxed out to 8TB for both of these new MacBook Pros. Additionally, both MacBook Pros are available in silver and Space Gray.
Those that order the new 16-inch MacBook Pro with their Apple Card will get 3 percent back in Daily Cash and special financing options too.
Content creators Justine Ezarik (iJustine) and MKBHD both already have videos about the new laptop, so it would appear as though Apple sent some out to “special” people before it was released to the public.
