Apple launches 16-inch MacBook Pro with scissor keyboard

Apple has ‘silently’ launched its long-rumoured 16-inch MacBook Pro, its biggest laptop ever, at a starting price of Rs 1,99,900. It is, as expected, Apple’s ‘most powerful MacBook Pro ever.’ But this one, contrary to all Mac laptops that Apple has launched over last few years, isn’t gunning for sheer power alone. Apple is going back to basics, finally, and trying to solve two big problems with new 16-inch MacBook Pro – typing experience and rmals. 

MacBook has h a troubled record over both se aspects. Apple has even publicly ackwledged (and even apologized for) m. And it has gone back to drawing board finally, so it seems.

Scissor keyboard makes comeback

For starters, new MacBook Pro sees Apple replacing controversial butterfly keyboard with a more reliable scissor mechanism. Apple is apparently so confident about its ‘old school ways’ that this one doesn’t figure in its extended keyboard repair program – like most of its recent MacBooks. Apple is going a step furr, ding a physical Escape key and an inverted-“T” arrangement for arrow keys, in new MacBook Pro to deliver “a keyboard with a comfortable, satisfying and quiet typing experience.” 

Moving on, new MacBook Pro packs “ most vanced rmal architecture ever in a Mac tebook to enable system to run at higher power for sustained periods of time,” according to Apple. seemingly redesigned rmals comprise of a 35 per cent larger heat sink and fans capable of pushing through 28 per cent more air - over last-generation.  

Speaking of core specs, maxed-out model of new MacBook Pro packs an 8-core i9 chip clocked at 2.4GHz, that’s capable of chalking Turbo Boost speeds up to 5.0 GHz. This can be paired – this is optional – with up to whopping 64GB of RAM and 8TB SSD stor. new MacBook Pro is furr backed by a 100Wh battery which is claimed to offer up to 11 hours of wireless web browsing on a single charge. 

Elsewhere, 16-inch MacBook Pro has a 6-speaker sound system with two force cancelling woofers for “more clear and natural sound” with improved bass.
