About this MacBook Pro

The 2019 MacBook Pro 16-inch is Apple’s latest introduction to the 2019 MacBook Pro line-up. The larger improved format allows for a bigger screen as well as a couple of larger storage options for high-end users. This 16-inch Retina display is the largest retina display ever in a MacBook Pro!

This model features an Intel “Core i9” processor (I9-9980HK) running on 8 cores with 16 GB of RAM similar to the MVVM2LL/A specs.
