The upgraded storage is absolutely worth it as the 512GB in the i7 model isn’t quite enough, especially for video editors. Our recommended configuration for the MacBook Pro 16″ is to get the Core i9 2.3GHz processor model because it comes with the AMD Radeon 5500M GPU with 4GB VRAM and, more importantly, 1TB SSD storage. While not all docks can provide the 87W of USB Power Delivery, it’s an overall better experience with a Mac.
Macs tend to work with Thunderbolt 3 docks (or even USB Type-C docks) more reliably than Windows at this point and it does alleviate some headaches.
We’ve paired our 16″ MacBook Pro with a 4K Dell Ultrasharp U2718Q using an X-Rite i1Display Pro in one of the easiest calibrations we’ve performed recently. Out of the box, the display is pretty great, but, once calibrated properly the accuracy is absolutely ready for professional color work. What you do get is a Retina 3072 x 1920 60Hz IPS panel with wide P3 color space coverage and a brightness up to 500 nits at the center. No fancy high refresh rate here, but that’s fine. It will get louder when under load but never with the annoying high-pitched whine that accompanies so many thinner Windows notebooks.Īnd the display? Definitely at the top of the class. We also like the fact that, despite being loaded with an 8-core i9 in our preferred configuration, most of the time the fan is basically inaudible. The time away from a charger is both usually longer than a Windows-based competitor, as well as having nearly the full power of the CPU available whereas Windows laptops almost always throttle the performance to a fraction of what you can get on wall power. The big benefits, in our opinion, are the great battery life and full CPU power when on battery. Sure, they’re a bit pricey, but they deliver some unmatched features with uncompromising performance. No “best laptop” list is complete without a MacBook Pro and, in our opinion, the 2019 MacBook Pro 16″ takes our top recommendation as the best laptop for video editing.
