Apple says the new processors make the new MacBook Pro up to 2x faster than the quad-core 15-inch MacBook Pro. The 16-inch Macbook Pro comes with 6-and 8-core 9th-generation processors with Turbo Boost speeds up to 5.0 GHz. Additionally, the new keyboard also includes a physical Escape key, along with an inverted ‘T’ arrangement for the arrow keys.

It says it has redesigned the new Magic Keyboard to offer a stable key feel and 1mm of key travel for a better typing experience that is comfortable, satisfying, and, most importantly, quiet. Apple calls the new keyboard, ‘Magic Keyboard’, and it features a scissor mechanism that replaces the butterfly mechanism found on earlier models. After being constantly bombarded with complaints related to various issues on its butterfly mechanism, it seems like Apple has finally paid attention and come up with a better mechanism. One of the aspects where the difference becomes noticeable is Apple’s approach to this year’s keyboard. Further, comparing the 16-inch model with the 15-inch MacBook Pro, the newer model appears to be marginally bigger and heavier, but nothing too drastic. The display on the new MacBook Pro is Apple’s retina display that stretches 16-inches diagonally and offers a 3072 x 1920 pixels screen resolution at 226ppi, which is slightly higher than the 2880 x 1800 pixels found on the earlier 15-inch model.
