16" MBP - Anyone Get One yet?
Just curious.
I'm just now looking at the specs and I am assuming that it comes pre installed with Catalina? Overall the specs and pricing look pretty good and the fact that the base one comes with 512 SSD now for about the same price as the previous model. Any thoughts? |

I'm not observing much different in spec in the base 16inch model - I7 6 core, however it does start out with the 512 SSD starting at $2399 list, better value than the 2019 15.4 base.
Main concern of course at the moment is Catalina, the past few years Apple has made it virtually impossible to restore a previous system from an older OS via Time Machine! |

Relying on Time Machine to do system level backup restores is likely not a good idea to start with. I would much rather Carbon Copy Clone the boot container/partition onto (several) external drives. That can get you recovered and running in the time it takes to reboot the computer. Quote:

I just bought a 13" with 512/16 the other day and was pretty impressed with performance.
Got an offer for the 16" base model for only 150€ more now, so I'm thinking about returning the 13". But since Avid probably needs another year for their team of coneheads to make PT run on Catalina I'm not sure what to do now. Did I understand correctly that if the 16" doesn't support an install of Mojave it will also not be able to boot from an external drive that has a Mojave system on it? Have there been any known procedures to trick that? Like it's possible to install new macOS versions on unsupported old Macs using a patcher utility. Is there something like that but to downgrade? |
