The 2019 MacBook Pro is a slight improvement from the 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro model with a smaller storage option and the option for a lower clocked 13 inch model. The 2019 MacBook Pro is considered to be a mid-cycle refresh to the previous MacBook Pro line-up. It features a 14 nm, 8th Generation “Coffee Lake” 2.3 GHz Intel “Core i9″ processor (I9-9880H) as well as 16 GB of onboard 2400 MHz DDR4 SDRAM.
Apple has stuck with the same storage options as the previous model (512 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB) and has reserved dedicated graphics cards for the 15” MacBook Pro models. While this model also features 4 USB C ports similar to MVVM2LL/A specs as opposed to the 2 ports featured on the previous non-touch bar 13″ model.
This MacBook Pro comes installed with macOS Mojave 10.14.5 and can be upgraded to the latest macOS (Ventura). This 15-inch MacBook Pro measures 0.61 in ×13.75 in ×9.48 in weighs of 4.02 lbs (1.83 kg).
