Pull tabs make unboxing easy
Apple puts effort into making the unboxing as easy as possible.
And here it is...
The packaging is minimalist but perfectly adequate for protecting the MacBook Pro as it traveled across the globe.
It's free!
It feels a lot thicker and heavier than my 2018 MacBook Pro, but far less angular.
The underneath
The feet offer extra height for cooling.
Ports!
This makes this feel like a Pro system.
More ports... and MagSafe
I've missed MagSafe so much.
Very smooth, rounded design
This MacBook Pro is far less angular and sharp than my 2018 version.
No Touch Bar
So long, Touch Bar. You won't be missed.
MagSafe cable
The cable is braided and feels tough.
MagSafe connector
Familiar design.
MagSafe connector
5-pin connector.
The notch
I hadn't noticed it up until I thought about taking a photo of it.
Fingerprint reader
Feels more integrated snd smoother than the reader built into the Touch Bar.
New hinges
The hinges feel stronger and more robust.
The charger
This thing is chunky!
Charger specs

Charging the MacBook Pro
The MagSafe connector makes a decisive magnetic connection. Nice.
