Apple 2021 MacBook Pro (16-inch, M1 Max chip with 10‑core CPU and 32‑core GPU, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) - Space Gray

I was hoping to purchase Apple Care from the Apple website within the 60 days of buying (I just got my MacBook delivered today), but it turns out that when I tried purchasing Apple Care from the Apple website it just says that the device is ineligible. Really disappointed. Going to return it so I can purchase it from the Apple Website.

Here are the temperature results for the new cool MacBooks compared to the old overheating intel ones. 91 degrees for the old one near the processor, and 74 degrees on the new ones. Both had been running for hours transferring files nonstop. Amazing. I have been editing video, transferring large files and not once have the fans kicked on. Makes me want to cry.

came from the 2016 rose gold macbook. such a huge upgrade, it’s a heavy laptop but worth it for the screen size and speakers are fantastic. it is SO FAST! love this thing

Clarity of the screen and improved speed were offset, for me, with a lack of a USB port, no DVD port, and still no compatibility with some apps that I would use. For me, I ended up having to buy an adapter for other devices which revealed that with the adapter plugged in I could not attach the power cord.

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro Late 2007 to Monterrey on a MacBook Pro 16. Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave. They seem to have been busy “fixing things that weren’t broken and not fixing the things that were, Making changes to the interface for the sake of change and, in general, locking things down so far that you can’t use them. I have a password protected FileMaker database that now requires the password every 30 minutes or so if it is left open. They should fire whoever decided to put the “notch” in the center of the menu bar. What were they thinking? I need a $50+ dongle to attach anything and the setup to attach a Firewire 400 device is something only Rube Goldberg could love. I can’t read the light gray text on a white background that is the unchangeable system default. The speakers have so much bass that the sound is distorted - and there is no way to change it. I could go on and on but this is not the place. The Mac is now the worst computer on the market… except for all the others.

This MacBook is a monster machine. However they are a couple of issues that I would like to address.

Update: The laptop gets a F

Upgraded from a 2015 Mac Air I7 and this 16 screen is amazing as is the battery life and performance. The keyboard keys are a little different.

This computer is Amazing!

Got this to replace my old Mac. Bought that one 10 years ago. Battery life is amazing. There are things I hate about Apple. Calling the BACKSPACE key DELETE and not having a real DELETE key is a pixxer. Having it hold up reliably for a decade means I will put up with their silly contrivances.
