I've had a base model 2016 15 inch MBP since two months after launch, and it has been more than enough for my daily computer activities, and for my amateur photo/video editing, it has been stellar. I've recently got the 15 inch MB Air, and its great, and is much faster, and more efficient with photo/video editing, although it does my same tasks a little faster, to me it seems negligible. I would very much so still recommend a 2016 MBP to anyone looking for their first mac laptop, or to someone who doesn't want to spend $1000+ on a brand new mac laptop, this MBP is still more than capable.

The qualities of Macbook Pro are top notch. I'm still using my Macbook pro mid 2012 15inch. Even though it can't use well for 3D Game Development with Unity (still doable for 2D game development) but it is still good for programming, especially for web development. There is no other laptops from 2012 which can still work like that. Macbook Pro is awesome.

I got a MBP 2018 with the butterfly keyboard and I know what you mean. Once a single key is messed up, you can not replace that single key, you would have to replace the whole keyboard and Apple charges you like $500 for it. Other places could do for $250-$300. And I saw some videos where some guys could replace the individual keys. From this experience I would avoid 2016-2019 MBP with the butterfly keyboard.

@@aboobacker5899 Depends on how much you are paying for it. If it were me I wouldn’t spend more than $500.00 (give or take $200.00 depending on spec) because this 2017 MBP will not be officially supported with Apple on the next major MacOS update. In other words MacOS 13.4.x will be the last major update for this Mac unless you use OpenCore to bypass it which I gotta say works amazingly well! But yea anything over $700.00 max I dont think would be worth it. Hope this helps!

@@aboobacker5899I just bought a Refurbished 13” 2016 Pro today. Got it for $376. Had an issue with the anti glare residue (common issue on this year), and had an issue with crashes. Reinstalled macOS, and that did the trick on that! Then contacted the seller and they told me Clorox wipes would get rid of that glare residue, and which it did though it does have glare it doesn’t bother me! I do have a “N” key which needs to be replaced, but seller is sending me the key to replace it (old one that had clips broke). But overall I’m happy with the price I paid!

I did the complete tear down needed to replace the failed SSD, added an additional SATA 500gb internal SSD, an external Sandisk 1tb SSD, and also maxed out the ram to 16gb. Now, as for strictly using this Mac as an audio production machine? It freaking rocks, and can even handle light to moderate video editing. That said? It doesn't exactly hold a practical candle up to my GF's M1 Macbook Air, but it's still most definitely holding it's own, albeit via OCLP. I know live production people to this day who still swear by their 2012 MBP & ableton live. lol! Cheers!

I found that there are what they call "lower half" version of this MacBook Pro on Taobao. What "lower half" means is that it is this laptop without the screen. It is probably supposed to be sold as parts but the seller said that it can actually be powered on and use together with a monitor. I'm a bit skeptical but for about USD120, I may just give it a go. It would be like a Mac Mini living inside a keyboard case.

With the release of the m3 macbooks. In my opinion, you could just save up and spend a few hundred more for the m1 macbook air. I am seeing them around $700 now. I think the price might slip a bit more as well. Also, Apple might stop supporting their older models with software updates since the Apple silicone is their pride and joy now. The other main thing would be portable power. The M chips last a long time. This is from someone coming from a 2012 macbook pro. Older Macbooks are still capable machines but if you want long battery life and better performance then the M chip Macbooks are the way to go.

It gets hot, fan screams from basic tasks which really sucks especially compared to cheaper 2021 M1 air Battery life not great, battery dies after ~1000 cycles so expect replacement every 2-3yrs Whole topcase replacement for $$$$ required for a new battery, repair program so paid $0 Screen ribbon cables fail, requires whole screen replacement $$$$, repair program so paid $0 Butterfly keyboards constantly jamming from small debris, if you're unlucky you break a key and the pop off.

I am a student and I need a MacBook for school. Do you recommend this MacBook or should I get another MacBook?

If you can Try to get a M1 macbook (2020-up) if its in your budget, I just purchased a 2020 mbp with an intel i7, 24gb of ram and a 512gb ssd for like 480ish, its gonna be used mainly for school work since their battery life is well known I'll have to see for myself since this is gonna be my first mac ever

Americans are so lucky, they call a 7 year laptop "old". Im a software dev in africa, I make apps, and I use a 2011 Macbook Pro.

I have the 2016 15" MBP. It is the worst Mac I have ever owned. Because of this laptop I am seriously considering abandoning the Mac after 20+ years as a Apple guy because of this Macbook. I hate the keyboard, heats up, designed where it collects so much dust.... This one was a giant step backward. There just so many issues. It still gets me trough, but I don't know. Those new Apple Silicone Macs do look interesting and when the time comes I will consider them but just as another player.

What a terrible decision, especially since you bought a paperweight as every MacBook prior to 2017 is EOL.

This model is has the most design flaws ever. Issues with keyboard and screen that apple refuses to acknowledge and recall. I just end up with broken one
@Ericjeffrey28 5 ай бұрын
They actually had a recall program where you can get the screen fixed and keyboard fixed and battery replaced for the 2016 Touch Bar version. Mine were all fixed and is working great today! KEY though:: stay on Catalina! It’s the fastest for the laptop. Anything newer will lag.

@@Ericjeffrey28 now they have another issue with it. They've placed the display controller just next to the heatsink so if it heats up your screen goes black. They do not acknowledge this design flaw and refuse to fix it. Really not a good laptop to recommend

I have a MacBook Pro 2016 15". I've been working on it for more than 6 years, and it still works without any flexgate issues. I just replaced the battery; that's all. :)

This was and continued to be terrible advice. No matter how decent the specs are for the money the keyboard WILL break and the screen WILL die, it’s just a question of when and I’d rather use that money towards something more recent…

This is one of the worst laptop builds Apple ever designed. Flexgate issues, butterfly keys and the infamous Radeon 450-455-460 cards that bricks the entire logicboard.

It is strange. And it's not justified at all. It has the non-updated Butterfly keyboard and Apple stopped the keyboard replacement program. Intel chips won't be getting software or security updates soon. Good luck.
