Bangkok Thailand - January 5 2017: Close-up hand touching touch bar on MacBook Pro 2016 mixing audio sound touch bar is new function on MacBook Pro 2016 by Apple Inc.

Apple recently introduced a new MacBook Pro with a 16-inch display diagonal. The special thing about the device is the new keyboard.  

With the new MacBook Pro 16", Apple has returned to a tried and tested keyboard technology - the scissor keyboard. This is based on the popular Magic Keyboard, which is used in the iMac, among other devices. The new keyboard is not only quieter but also significantly more reliable. In recent years, Apple's notebooks have been equipped with the so-called butterfly keyboard. However, this has led to a lot of problems as it has been plagued by repeated failures. This is now to be over. The first tests were positive, but a final result can only be determined after a few months. But what about the typing noise? A new test from the Wall Street Journal clearly shows that the new keyboard in the MacBook Pro 16" is significantly quieter. Apple advertises it as follows:

The 16-inch MacBook Pro features a keyboard with a comfortable, satisfying, and quiet typing experience that focuses on human factors and key design through extensive research and user studies.

The WSJ tested six other devices in addition to the MacBook Pro 16". Apple's new professional notebook took second place - just missing out on number one. While the Pixelbook Go came in first place with 30.1 decibels, the new MacBook Pro 16" took second place with 30.3 decibels. Here are the exact test results:

  • Pixelbook Go – 30.1 decibels
  • MacBook Pro 16″ – 30.3 decibels
  • MacBook Pro 2015 – 31.2 decibels
  • Dell XPS 13 – 32.3 decibels
  • Surface Laptop 3 – 33.8 decibels
  • MacBook Air (butterfly keyboard) – 41.9 decibels
  • typewriter – 60.2 decibels

The typewriter comes last in this series of tests - but this should come as no surprise. But these results clearly show that Apple has not exaggerated. The new keyboard is really quieter. So anyone who had concerns can rest assured. You can see the Wall Street Journal report and the accompanying video below. (Photo by blackzheep / Bigstockphoto)
