The A2141 is Apple's 16-inch MacBook Pro from 2019, a pro laptop built around 9th-generation Intel Core i7 or i9 chips. It stands out for its large 16-inch Retina display, a six-speaker system, and the return of a scissor-switch Magic Keyboard after the butterfly keyboards. It suits video editors, developers and designers who want a big screen and can live with Intel-era battery life and fan noise. Against Apple Silicon MacBooks it runs hotter and shorter on battery, but it still handles heavy multi-core work and runs Intel-native and Boot Camp software that newer models cannot.

Owners rate it well overall, praising the large screen, keyboard and speakers. Complaints center on heat, fan noise and battery life under heavy loads.
The Apple MacBook Pro A2141 is a 16-inch laptop with a Retina display. It is larger than the earlier 15-inch models, and the extra inch gives more room to work without making the laptop hard to carry.
It has a 9th generation 2.3 GHz Intel Core i9 processor (i9-9880H) with eight cores on a single chip and a 16 MB shared level 3 cache. Memory is 2666 MHz DDR4. It has a Touch Bar and Touch ID.
The Magic Keyboard, also called a scissor keyboard, replaces the lower-sitting keys of the previous three years of MacBook Pro models, which often caused key strike errors. The laptop suits video editing, gaming, graphic design and music production. It also handles school, work, web browsing and everyday computing.
