About the Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch Intel (2019)
Part of Apple's 2016 to 2020 Intel MacBooks, the Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch Intel (2019) is an Intel MacBook with the thin butterfly-keyboard design. It was released in 2019. It has a 16-inch screen, so there's room inside for stronger cooling and easier upgrades.
Its memory is soldered to the board, so it can’t be upgraded after purchase, and its storage is soldered too. Parts are still widely available, either new or as tested replacements.
Common Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch Intel (2019) faults
- Screen replacement: Some 2016-era models suffer from a worn display cable that causes stage-light backlight faults; we repair it.
- Keyboard repair: The butterfly keyboard used on Apple laptops from 2016 to 2019 is known for sticking and repeating keys. We clean or replace it.
- Data recovery: Models from 2018 onward have a T2 chip that encrypts storage to the logic board, so recovery means repairing the board first.
