Retina Display
A big, beautiful workspace.
For doing big, beautiful work.
The new MacBook Pro features a stunning 16-inch Retina
display — the largest Retina display ever in a Mac notebook.
It produces 500 nits of brightness for spectacular highlights
and bright whites, while delivering deep blacks thanks to the
precise photo alignment of liquid crystal molecules. And the
P3 wide colour gamut enables brilliant, true-to-life images
and video. So no matter where you are, you’ll see your work
in the best possible light.

Processor and Memory
Working at the speed
of thought.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro brings a whole new class of
performance to the notebook. Thanks to a more advanced
thermal design, the Intel Core i9 processor with up to 8
cores and 16 threads of processing power sustains higher
performance for longer periods of time — and delivers up
to 2.1 times the performance of a quad-core MacBook Pro.³
So whether you’re layering dozens of tracks and effects,
rendering 3D models, or compiling and testing code,
you’ll be doing it in no time flat.

More advanced thermal architecture enables faster processing. The thermal
architecture in MacBook Pro has been completely redesigned, featuring larger
impellers with improved fan blades for optimal airflow and more heat-dispersing
fins for more effective cooling. The resulting gain in cooling capacity enables
MacBook Pro to deliver up to 12 watts more maximum sustained power.
Up to 64GB of DDR4 memory means more efficient multitasking. The 16-inch
MacBook Pro uses fast 2666MHz DDR4 memory - up to 64GB - for smooth
performance whether you're loading hundreds of audio samples, editing
billion-pixel images, or running multiple virtual machines.

Graphics
Bending reality
takes bandwidth.
The AMD Radeon Pro 5000M series delivers the most
graphics horsepower ever in a MacBook Pro. The 16-inch
MacBook Pro base model is over two times faster than the
previous-generation base model, for seamless playback
and faster rendering of ultra-high-definition video.⁶
For working on graphics-intensive projects like 3D rendering
or high-end game development, you can supercharge
your MacBook Pro with the optional Radeon Pro 5600M. With
its 40 compute units and 8GB of High Bandwidth Memory,
this powerhouse GPU brings a new level of desktop-class
graphics power to MacBook Pro.

Keyboard
There's magic
in a workspace.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro takes workflow efficiency to a
new level. The Magic Keyboard features a refined scissor
mechanism with 1 mm travel for a responsive, comfortable,
and quiet typing experience. The Touch Bar puts powerful
shortcuts front and center, and Touch ID provides fast
authentication. A dedicated Escape key allows quick
switching between modes and views. And the inverted-T
arrow keys enable fluid navigation whether you’re flying
through lines of code, navigating spreadsheets, or gaming.
Touch ID. Fast, easy authentication for secure logins. Force Touch trackpad. Speed your workflow with Force click and Multi-Touch gestures. Touch Bar. The commands you need most are right where you need them — saving time and keystrokes.
Audio
Bigger bass.
Better mic.
MacBook Pro has a big voice. The six-speaker sound system
produces room-filling wide stereo sound like you’ve never
heard from a notebook before. Dual force-cancelling woofers
dramatically reduce vibration for a clearer, more natural
sound and a half-octave lower range to the bass. And the
studio-quality three-mic array rivals professional third-party
microphones, for creating superclean podcasts or music
recordings on the go.

Storage
Bring your whole
studio with you.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro has up to 8TB of SSD storage -
the most available in any notebook. So you can take your
entire photo or video libraries with you no matter where
you're headed. And with superfast speeds, massive files

Battery
A battery with a
strong work ethic.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro has the highest-capacity
battery Apple has ever put into a notebook. The 100-watt-hour
lithium-polymer battery not only powers a larger display
and delivers higher maximum sustained power, it also provides
longer battery life - up to 11 hours of wireless web browsing
and Apple TV app movie playback.8 So you'll have more time to
work between charges - whether you're on or off the grid.

Apple T2 Security Chip
The next generation
of security.
Every MacBook Pro is equipped with the Apple T2 Security
Chip — second‑generation custom Mac silicon designed
to make everything you do even more secure. It includes
a Secure Enclave coprocessor that powers Touch ID and
provides the foundation for secure boot and encrypted
storage capabilities. It also consolidates many discrete
controllers, including the system management controller,
audio controller, and SSD controller, into one.
Thunderbolt 3
The most powerful
and versatile port ever.
Thunderbolt 3 combines ultra‑high bandwidth with the
ultra‑versatility of the USB‑C industry standard to create
one revved‑up universal port. It integrates data transfer,
charging, and video output in a single connector, delivering
up to 40Gb/s of throughput for twice the bandwidth of
Thunderbolt 2. MacBook Pro 16-inch is equipped with
four ports, so you can do all that from either side. Existing
devices are easily connected with a cable or adapter.
And Thunderbolt 3 is reversible, so no matter how you
plug in, it’s always right side up.
