Apple have unveiled a new larger and more powerful MacBook Pro

Apple have announced an all new 16 inch MacBook Pro, which is designed for the professional, as it sports a new thermal design, up to 64gb of memory and more, perfect for the video/photo/music person on the go.

“Our pro customers tell us they want their next MacBook Pro to have a larger display, blazing-fast performance, the biggest battery possible, the best notebook keyboard ever, awesome speakers and massive amounts of storage, and the 16-inch MacBook Pro delivers all of that and more,” said Tom Boger, Apple’s senior director of Mac and iPad Product Marketing. “With its brilliant 16-inch Retina display, 8-core processors, next-gen pro graphics, even better thermal design, new Magic Keyboard, six-speaker sound system, 100Wh battery, up to 8TB of storage and 64GB of fast memory, the 16-inch MacBook Pro is the world’s best pro notebook.”

When compared to the fastest quad-core 15-inch MacBook Pro:

  • Music producers can play back massive multi-track projects with up to 2.1 times more Amp Designer plug-ins in Logic Pro X.

  • Scientists and researchers will benefit from 2.1 times faster simulation of dynamical systems in MATLAB.

  • Developers using Xcode can compile code up to 1.8 times faster.

  • Photographers can apply complex edits to photographs 1.7 times faster in Photoshop.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro uses the most advanced thermal architecture ever in a Mac notebook to enable the system to run at higher power for sustained periods of time. The sophisticated fan design features a larger impeller with extended blades along with bigger vents, resulting in a 28 percent increase in airflow, while the heat sink is 35 percent larger, enabling significantly more heat dissipation than before. Together, these advancements in cooling capacity allow the 16-inch MacBook Pro to sustain up to 12 more watts during intensive workloads than the previous design.

The new MacBook Pro 16 inch replaces the normal 15 inch and is available to buy now direct from Apple.com and in Apple Stores. Other retailers are expected to stock it later in the year.
