Apple MacBook Pro MLH32HN/A Laptop 2016 (Core i7/16GB/256GB/MacOS Sierra/2GB Graphics/Touch Bar), Space Grey

Not a huge Mac fan but decided to give this MacBook Pro a try. I am using the MacBook Pro 15". I must say this machine screams quality. Some don't like the keyboard but i love it. The machine is just very solid, you can tell it's almost a 1,70,000 Rs laptop for sure. The touch bar is useful and pretty easy to get used to, the speakers are great and it's very fast, i'm not too sure about the whole "turbo boost" thing as i'm a PC guy and used to overclocking, apparently "turbo boost" just kicks in when needed but i'm not sure. The screen looks gorgeous but so does my XPS 15 9560 (which i also use daily). Some negatives that i suppose i can live with but are annoying... - Can't upgrade memory (Come on Apple, max of 16GB of DDR3!? You say its for power saving but plenty of Windows laptop have DDR4 with 32GB and handle power fine. For 1.7L i expect more than 16GB of RAM or at least the option to upgrade. - 256GB SSD? Again, come on Apple! - No way to adjust the touchbar brightness, very annoying, maybe a fix in Sierra update in future? For the most part im enjoying it alot. I would recommend it. Finally, how did I finance it? Yes, I sold my kidney and I think its worth it :P

I purchased this laptop on Jan 2018. I got it for 1,52,000 Rs. The display, ram, keyboard, ... everything was upto the mark. I edited heavy footage on this machine & It performed very well. I never had any complaint about it; Until 2021. Then, the laptop started booting problem. Later I find out it was because of the touch bar. After a while the display started fading out. The went to apple care. The denied to repair on it. Even though, for first four years it worked very smooth.

Very good laptop though the price is high. Stands up with performance despite loads of software and heavy usage for a software expert.

I am reviewing this laptop after 8 months of use. I would say. 'please don't buy this Mac and wait for the 2018 model. Here are my top issue list. 1. Heating issues Within 5-10 mts of using intellij/during os upgrade. 2. high pitched keyboard noise (only some keys) only when the Mac heats up. 3. High pitched Popping sound near the hinges/back side of the screen occurs randomly. Only when Mac heats up. 4. Struck Enter KEY and was not responsive. This is a major issue. Even small speck of dust can cause this and it is difficult to solve it. 5. Hinge sounds while opening the lid. I got my keyboard issues sorted out. Apple genius replaced my top case twice. Still the overheating issues are not resolved. just don't buy this if u are a heavy user.

I give this 3 stars only because of the Purchase date according to Apple is 30'th April 2017.. so you get apple care only upto 29'th April 2018. This wasn't mentioned anywhere to me.

Though i love this machine as much, when it starts to malfunction, i get frustrated. Because i have to deal with the Apple service in India. No matter whether its Merc or Apple, service in India sucks. This ₹200K machine has come with a faulty keyboard. Some of the keys won't work, or the key registers twice like 'bb'. For me the letters b and n are causing the issue. The issue isn't widespread, but many users reported having the same issue. I didn't use the keyboard so much in the beginning. But I did check each key and all the USBC ports to see if they are all working fine on unboxing. so how did i miss it? cause it is intermittent. And that makes the issue even worse. Else i would have replaced it or asked for a refund. Since i have used it for 3 months. I checked with the Apple care to see how they are going to solve this issue. Apparently they may have to replace the entire keyboard. I hate repairs on my new machine. In US, Apple replaces the machines completely for the customers with faulty keys. That isn't the case here. bad! However, hardware defects out of the box from Apple for an expensive machine like this is not acceptable. if it does, Its just a headache, at least in India.
