Apple just announced a new 16-inch MacBook Pro, which launches this week and replaces the 15-inch version. It introduces a new keyboard design that should fix problems that plagued earlier MacBooks.
With the 16-inch MacBook Pro, Apple has a brand new scissor-style design that moves back toward the sorts of keyboards it used to make. And in my early tests, it's pretty great. But problems with the earlier keyboards didn't always crop up immediately. For example, it took a few weeks for the keyboard to break on Apple's redesigned MacBook Air that I bought last year. Only time will tell.Still, Apple is standing by this redesign.
Apple also increased the power while extending battery life, which is impressive. This year's model gets 11 hours of battery life, an hour longer than last year's MacBook Pro. It's definitely heavy at 4.3 lbs, but only 0.3 lbs heavier than last year's model. I prefer my less powerful MacBook Air, which is a heck of a lot lighter at 2.75 lbs.Apple is also including a faster USB-C charger that can juice up the 16-inch MacBook Pro in just 2.5 hours.
