Personally I'm very excited that Apple sent you one to review! You do thorough reviews without hype, very cool that your honest work is being recognized by Apple! I think the mic sounds great as well, could hear a difference.

It's annoying listening to this thru the MBP 16 microphone, sounds like listening thru a mono tube.(LEFT SIDE)

[mikechu]

My left ear enjoyed the microphone test

I work for a school district. When we get ipads or anything that comes with apple stickers we hide them around one of our techs offices who hates apple. It's entertaining and about as good of a use for those stickers as I've ever found

Why is the sound of the integrated mics coming out louder from the left?

[marioz]

It’s great … but only for users who have intel macs … to upgrade from 2021 versions is crazy I think

I JUST ordered my M2 Pro 16” 32gb 1TB and I am so excited. I am coming from a 2018 Intel i5 13” 4thunderbolt model and it’s a great little computer but my hobbies and jobs have changed since. I am really excited. More money than I’ve ever spent on a computer before but never the less I am stoked.

[wassholm]

Do you have any idea why the sound from the internal mic was panned hard left? Did you do that, or was that just the way it was recorded?

[joeallison]

If only it had a touchscreen, I’d buy it in a heartbeat

The New 16” m2 MacBook Pro and the Old 15” MacBook Pro are virtually the same sizes.

The New 16 “
Depth = 9.77”
Width = 14.1”

The Old 15”
Depth = 9.75”
Width = 14.125”

Regarding the microphone test @7:12, I could hear sound only on my left airpod. Perhaps a setup issue. Cheers!

Might get a base 14. I’m more of a Windows guy but I’m fed up with Windows 11 as a whole…

[SamuelAltidor]

Still using my 15” MacBook Pro from 2015! That’s the longest tenured laptop I’ve ever had. Thinking of finally replacing it with a 16” MacBook Pro. Can’t decide whether I should buy the 14” MacBook Pro or the 16” MacBook Pro. I”ve been going back an forth.

LOL watching how non-enthused you are made me realize you must have the M1 and then confirmed. But we all know the hardware except the chip is identical, so going through everything wasn't super productive. Seeing you plaw WoW or do some work would be more interesting. But my big takeaway, if you are an M1 Macbook Pro owner, you won't be getting the new toy feeling with this upgrade.

[walpoleandworcester]

If I ever get another MacBook, I would go for the 14 inch one in all honesty. Cant wait to see how these new Mac Minis hold up too.

[michaellatta]

I do notice the m2 webcam washes out your face. Your good camera shows more illumination and shadow texture.

[StephenShreds]

I’ve been eyeing the maxbook pro since the first release. My dad ran over my dell xps17 while in my backpack on accident 😅. It still works but things are slightly broken. I might just get the Mac mini instead.

[ondrejkriz]

I believe your discomfort with this chasis of macbook is mainly caused by size of your hands, I got mine 16" and never had this kind of problem, but truth is that the edges are sharp af.

[josephlamb]

Did you figure out a way to prevent the wrist discomfort from the sharp edges? I want to keep the 16 inch but I do a lot of writing and it's irritating that it's so sharp.

[berelentless]

I’m real curious about the M2 minis, especially when it comes to external display support
