What is it like to use the 2016 MacBook Pro in depth?

Talk about my personal experience after using it for a week

One of the best feelings is that the fan noise reduction is very good, and the sound of running things under full load is much quieter than before.

The keyboard is a bit short and I was not used to it at first, but after I got used to it, I found that the crisp feeling is also great. You can tell how much I like it from the way I coded so many words. Keyboard feel.

The touchpad is a bit too big. Being too big is not a good thing. Sometimes it accidentally touches it and causes click delays. However, the big one still has a big advantage over the small one. You can drag and drop files and so on. With ease.

Touchbar is very nice, but it doesn’t feel as usable as expected. In most cases, you won’t touch it; in addition, there is no tactile feel when pressing ESC, which will cause you to subconsciously press harder and then use it. The eyeballs glance at it, and sometimes the ESC is accidentally touched. Maybe this needs to be used to.

In terms of thinness and lightness, it is indeed amazing, especially the deep space gray color that uses the illusion of lightness to appear lighter.

Type-c, this is a headache. For this reason, I bought a type-c to lightning port cable, a type-c to HDMI cable, a type-c to USB cable, and a type-c to network port adapter. These things definitely save more space and weight than the new model. many.

TouchID, you no longer have to enter the password when installing the software, just touch it. This is still very good.

The battery capacity is indeed not as good as before. One afternoon of web browsing can burn through 80% of the battery.

In terms of other performance, 2133M frequency memory is theoretically faster than before, but it is not easy to detect this in actual use; SSD has become faster, but it is difficult to run at full speed in actual applications. ; As for the graphics card, I don’t play games very much, so I don’t feel much about it; the CPU is not much different from the previous generation, so there is no need to evaluate it.

Overall, the experience is still very good. Personally quite satisfied. But if I were to make a recommendation, I might be more inclined to recommend friends who don’t have professional needs to buy the 13-inch version without Touchbar.
