Petr Škuta More information has surfaced about the expected 16" MacBook Pro. In addition to the diagonal and resolution, we now also know the processors that the new model will be equipped with.
Analyst Jeff Lin from IHS Markit revealed that the upcoming 16" MacBook Pro will be equipped with ninth-generation Intel Core processors. The choice of these processors is more than logical.

Dan Pražák According to Jeff's information, Apple should reach for six-core Core i7 processors and, in higher configurations, for eight-core Core i9 processors. the latter can offer a base clock of 2,4 GHz and Turbo Boost up to 5,0 GHz. These processors are rated at 45 W TDP and rely on integrated Intel UHD 630 graphics cards. Apple will certainly supplement them with dedicated AMD Radeon graphics cards.
However, the information published by IHS Markit can be deduced by most readers. Currently, the latest Intel Core processors of the Ice Lake series (tenth generation) fall more into the category of ultrabooks. The new models belong to the low-voltage U and Y series, which have a maximum heat output of 9 W and 15 W, respectively. They are therefore not at all suitable for powerful computers.
MacBook Pro 16" as a successor to the 15" models
MacBook Pro 16" should bring a new design. Interesting especially the narrow bezels and will return to the keyboard with a scissor mechanism. According to the well-known and successful analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, updated versions of other MacBooks could eventually get it.
The computer screen will then have a resolution of 3 x 072 pixels. According to Forbes magazine, the display will have a density of 1920 pixels per inch, which corresponds to this resolution.

In addition, Apple can quite simply keep the current dimensions of the 15" MacBook Pro. It is enough to thin the frames and redesign the internal arrangement so that it is possible to fit the keyboard with a standard scissor mechanism again.
In addition, the current 15" models could be completely discontinued. On the other hand, Kuo says that they will stay and see an update in 2020. Even when the first MacBook Pro 15" Retina arrived, it was sold for some time at the same time as non-updated models. So both variants are possible.

Unfortunately, the really important thing is not being talked about:
– USB-C – away with that shit – it ruins my external drives
– TouchBar – get rid of that shit – it's getting on my nerves with my daily keyboard battle
– Keyboard – higher lift, better physically separated keys (instead of the current uniform surface, on which you cannot feel the keys by touch – or at least far worse than with MacBook 2015 or any Dell, Huawei, …) – and solve it with an external keyboard? Who wants to mess with her?
– ETH port – return (WiFi is unavailable/prohibited in some places – and who wants to drag around a collection of reductions)
– Classic USB (3+) ports – who wants to lug around a collection of reducers (or at least one multi-reducer)
– HDMI – which TV or projector in the showroom today has ThunderBolt??? Who wants to deal with more and more reductions?
– MagSafe – return
– Thicker, bigger, heavier – so that it cools properly and the battery lasts a decent amount of time even under load and the connectors for the peripherals fit there
Managers who want to use a MacBook to stand out during presentations should feel free to use the Air, but this is supposed to be a high-end tool for professionals, right?
So why can't it be decently equipped?
I agree with everything (especially Fatter, bigger, heavier). I would just like Ethernet (it's not even in the Retina MBP since 2012, so I wouldn't even blame Apple for that).
Unfortunately, I think everything will stay the way it is now :(
“but this is supposed to be a high-end tool for professionals, right? "So you answered that yourself, both Jirko and Zbynka, it is no longer for professionals but for ordinary users, so mass production but at a great price, I mean a great price for Apple, so stop dreaming
