MacBook Pro 2019 - 15" Buyer's Guide

The fourth-generation MacBook Pro 15” received its final update in May 2019, prior to being replaced in November 2019 by its 16” fifth-generation successor. While similar in external appearance and overall feature set to its predecessor, the MacBook Pro 2019 15” boasts a number of improvements to performance and device longevity. Most notably, this model updates the processor to Intel’s ninth-generation Intel Core i7 (6-core) and Core i9 (8-core) processors. Additionally, the butterfly keyboard was updated with new materials to improve long term reliability. As with previous generations, the 2019 MacBook Pro features a large Force Touch trackpad, a high-resolution 15.4-inch True Tone Retina display, and a context-aware Touch Bar with Touch ID instead of traditional function and power keys.
