Back to the Mac 014: MacBook Pro (2019) hands-on – this is what we asked for [Video]

<p>As we await Apple’s full-on redesign of the MacBook Pro (https://9to5mac.com/2019/02/17/apple-16-inch-macbook-pro-display-more/), hopefully with a rethought keyboard in tow, Apple surprised us with another spec-bumped MacBook Pro release alongside the launch of the new 23.7-inch LG UltraFine Display (https://9to5mac.com/2019/05/24/lg-ultrafine-display-review-2019-two-thunderbolt-3-ports-video/).</p>
<p>In light of the ongoing keyboard issues (https://9to5mac.com/2018/07/19/2018-macbook-pro-keyboard-reliable-test/), it would be all too easy to criticize Apple for releasing yet another MacBook with a slightly-modified butterfly key switch design. The criticism is well-deserved given the history of the keyboard issues, but I also think it’s worth looking at the positive aspects of this release.</p>
<p>Just because its brand new fully-redesigned MacBook Pro hardware with a rethought keyboard isn’t ready, doesn’t mean that Apple has left the existing MacBook Pro lineup to stagnate — something it would have had no problem allowing to happen in the past. Instead, Apple continues to issue updates as they become available from key partners.</p>
<p>For example, Intel’s new 9th-generation i9-9980H and i9-9980HK CPUs just launched this quarter, and Apple wasted no time updating its MacBook Pro with the new 8-core chips. This release, along with last November’s Radeon Pro Vega spec-bump update (https://9to5mac.com/2018/11/14/you-can-now-order-the-15-inch-macbook-pro-with-radeon-pro-vega-discrete-graphics/), shows that Apple is taking the idea of catering to professional Mac users seriously (https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/04/apple-upgrades-mac-pros-signals-radical-new-modular-mac-pros-next-year-with-apple-displays/).</p>
