MacBook Pro 2019 15″ (Touch Bar) – BTO/CTO – MacBookPro15,1 – A1990 – 3359
About this Mac
The MacBook Pro “Core i9″ 2.4 15” is a BTO/CTO device nearly identical to MV912LL/A. We have listed it separately as it has been the configure-to-order version of the MacBook Pro “Core i9″ 2.3 15” Touch/2019, and you could eventually assemble it with an upgraded processor and a Vega 16 or 20 video card support.
You might mistake the 2019 MacBook Pro for the Mid-2018 MacBook Pro for they share similar aesthetics; however, significant internal differences make the 2019 MacBook Pro the enhanced version of the 2018 model. For one, it has stayed away from the controversial Butterfly keyboard from the previous version, and it has pumped up its battery life to last a whole day. Its processor options have been optimized too.
The 2019 MacBook Pro is dubbed as the mid-cycle refresh to the MacBook Pro lineup, and it comes with a 14nm, 9th Generation “Coffee Lake” 2.4 GHz Intel “Core i9” processor powered by eight independent processor cores contained in a single yet powerful silicon chip.
Apple maintained the same storage options, 512 GB, 1 TB, 2TB for this model. The MacBook Pro 2019 features a 16 MB shared level 3 cache; a 16 GB, 2400 Gz DDR4 SDRAM, which is configurable to 32 GB upon purchase, but not later than that; it incorporates a 512 GB onboard flash storage and dual graphic processors capacity – AMD Radeon Vega 16 or AMD Radeon 20. Its ports are the same with MVVM2LL/A, and it’s far from the 13″ model that only has two slots.
With Apple MacBook Pro Core i9 15″ 2019’s specifications, it has the chops to handle heavy photo and video editing, graphics rendering, programming, and the production of high-quality content, in general, made smoother with its two additional cores.

Storage
The standard storage of this MacBook Pro is 256 or 512 GB SSD, but it’s upgradeable at the time of purchase to 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB SSD for an additional cost.
Screen Size and Resolution
This model has a 15.4”, diagonal, Widescreen Retina display, supported by IPS technology with 2880×1800 native resolution at 220 pixels per inch which could accurately exhibit millions of colors, all thanks to its P3 Wide-Color Gamut.
Processor& Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)
The MacBook Pro “Core i9” 2019 runs a 14 nm, 64-bit ninth-generation Intel Mobile Core i9 “Coffee Lake” (i9-9880HK) processor that carries eight independent processor cores all combined in a single chip. Its custom-configured version may utilize either an AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 or an AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 with a 4 GB HMB2 memory. Its Intel UHD Graphics 630 graphics memory also uses the same system memory.
The Core i9-9980HK is a high-end mobile processor from Intel, and it clocks at around 2.4 – 5 GHz. Its Hyper-Threading enables it to reach sixteen threads simultaneously, and its two additional cores give it a 33% performance boost that would excel best in demanding tasks like editing multiple streams of video or playing hardcore video games.
Memory & Architecture
MacBook Pro’s eight independent cores are equipped with a dedicated 265k level 2 cache, and they share a 16 MB level 3 cache plus a dual-channel, integrated memory controller. Its onboard memory is 16GB of 2400MHz DDR4, and it’s configurable to 32GB.
Tests show that upgrading the default memory of this model contributes to a faster photo editing process. There’s also a massive improvement waiting for video editors and graphic renderers who’d configure to Vega 20 graphics and a more enhanced experience for gamers who’d go for the said upgrade.
Battery Life
This model is powered by a built-in 83.6 watt-hours lithium-polymer battery that can handle 10 hours of browsing on the web and watching from Apple TV app video playback. When put on standby, it could last for 30 days with its 87W USB-C Power Adapter. This performance is also the same with MUHN2LL/A specs.
Upgradability
By default, the MacBook Pro comes with either a 2.6GHz 6-core Intel Core i7 or 2.3 GHz 8-core Intel Core i9, both configurable to 2.4GHz 8-core Intel Core i9 and 2.4GHz 8-core Intel Core i9, respectively. This unit has the standard 16GB of 24000MHz DDR4 onboard memory, which is upgradeable to 32 GB memory at the time of purchase.
Its pre-installed OS is the macOS Mojave, but it smoothly supports Windows 10 (64-Bit). This MacBook Pro is 0.61 inch (1.55 cm) in height, 13.75 inches (34.93 cm) in width, 9.48 inches (24.07 cm) in-depth and 4.02 pounds (1.83 kg)3 in weight.
