Overview

The MacBook Pro "Core i9" 2.3 16-Inch 5600M (2019, Scissor Keyboard) is a custom-ordered version of either the "Core i7" 2.6 or "Core i9" 2.3 16-Inch models from the same series, but is documented separately due to its unique identifiers and OS support. Aside from the graphics processor, these models can be configured identically.


This model is powered by a 14 nm, 9th Generation "Coffee Lake" 2.3 GHz Intel "Core i9" processor (I9-9880H) with eight independent cores, a 16 MB shared L3 cache, and 16 GB of non-upgradable 2666 MHz DDR4 SDRAM (a 64 GB option was available at purchase). It includes 1 TB of onboard flash storage and dual graphics processors: an AMD Radeon Pro 5600M with 8 GB of HBM2 memory and an integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630.


Externally, it features a 720p FaceTime HD webcam, a "new Magic Keyboard" with a redesigned scissor mechanism and inverted-T arrow keys, a custom "Touch Bar" with a separate Esc key and "Touch ID" sensor, and a large "Force Touch" trackpad.


It also has a high-resolution 16.0" widescreen 3072x1920 (226 ppi, 500 nits) LED-backlit "Retina" display with True Tone and an adjustable refresh rate, plus a battery with an estimated 11-hour life.


Available in silver or "Space Gray" aluminum, it weighs 4.3 pounds (2.0 kg). Connectivity includes 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, four "Thunderbolt 3" ports (USB-C), and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.


Compared to its predecessor, this model offers the same processor but a larger display, faster RAM and graphics, an improved keyboard design with scissor switches and better layout, higher quality audio, and longer battery life.

Evaluation

The 16-inch MacBook Pro with the custom Radeon Pro 5600M graphics was the ultimate configuration for professionals seeking maximum mobile GPU performance in 2019. Paired with the 8-core Core i9 processor, this machine delivered desktop-class graphics power, thanks to the 8GB of HBM2 memory on the 5600M. This made it exceptionally capable for high-resolution video editing, complex visual effects, and other demanding graphical tasks. This model also benefited from all the well-received improvements of the 16-inch redesign: the brilliant, larger display, a vastly improved six-speaker audio system, and most importantly, the return to a reliable and comfortable 'Magic Keyboard' with a scissor-switch mechanism, finally moving away from the problematic butterfly design.
