Title: Upcoming 16-inch MacBook Pro rumored to start at US$3,000 without moving to OLED
Post by: Redaktion on July 24, 2019, 12:20:15
Although the upcoming 16-inch MacBook Pro will target professionals who have a generous budget and is rumored to start at US$3,000, we are also hearing that Apple will not move to an OLED panel. The yet-to-be-confirmed portable is expected to feature an LCD panel with a resolution of 3,072 x 1,920 pixels.

Would I personally pay $3,000 for this, when I can get an amazing Windows machine with a better keyboard, more ports, and a more compact design for $1,000-$1,500 less?

No, but my company probably would, and that seems to be what Apple is targeting: technology professionals who can expense it (and perhaps some wealthy college students).

Well OLED for work device is a fail because of the static image that damages OLED panes and which you'll have on screen the majority of the time. But micro led rules, waiting for them.

I heard some buy Apple mainly for coding, also color management is slightly better, but I agree that it's really not worth the price.
