Rumored for months, the new 16-inch MacBook Pro is a reality. The new Apple equipment comes to offer more screen in less space, in order to offer again that old offer of a large model (many still sigh for that 17-inch version) without sacrificing too much portability.
New 16-inch MacBook Pro
Taking into account that the jump occurs from 15,4 inches to 16 inches, you can get an idea that the changes in size are not especially noticeable. Well yes, the change in size is not the main attraction in this regard, but rather the resolution it offers, since the new screen jumps to 3.072 x 1.920 pixels of resolution, significantly increasing the 2.880 x 1.800 pixels of the current model of 15,4 inches.

This translates into a higher pixel density and a superb resolution for working in full screen, so lovers of extreme sharpness will be in luck. We must also highlight the reduction of the screen frames, something that has allowed us to enlarge the inches and maintain the same chassis size.
But there is more, since in addition to the image, the sound has also received great changes. The secret is six new, more powerful speakers that will turn heads for their performance, as well as the addition of new professional-quality noise-canceling microphones. The famous TouchBar is still present, although this time the bar is slightly shortened in length to offer a physical Escape key on the left side.

goodbye butterflies
If there is something especially striking in this new model, it is the disappearance of the butterfly-type keyboard. As you well know (if you haven't experienced it yourself), the latest Apple keyboards with a butterfly mechanism have generated countless problems to the point of forcing the manufacturer to offer a repair and replacement program for all generations. . Well, Apple has decided to lower its arms and opt for the classic scissor mechanism, although with slight changes.
Basically it is the same mechanism that we find in the Magic Keyboard of the iMac Pro, although with smaller and more precise switches.
