Even if you really want to consider the modern MacBook Pro as a reliable laptop, you can not. On the Web you can find a huge number of complaints about broken keyboards, drives and even screens (Flex Gate). All these problems are recognized by Apple itself, MacBook Pro 2016-2017 model is subject to three extended repair programs.
And it would seem that the release of the MacBook Pro 2019 certainly should have put an end to all the problems. But that was not it!!!
Problems with the MacBook Pro 2019
Not so long ago, a branch appeared on the Reddit portal discussing the MacBook Pro 2019. During the discussions, it turned out that some laptops are prone to a very unpleasant defect - screen flickering. The situation is aggravated by the fact that all this is accompanied by graphic artifacts and problems when working with graphics.
On August 18, I purchased the new MacBook Pro 13 2019 from the Apple Store. During the first few days everything was fine (not taking into account that the laptop was very hot).
By the end of the week, I found that the screen of my MacBook Pro flickered from time to time. Fortunately, this is not happening all the time, when you use your phone - but only a few minutes after switching on.
I did not put any beta versions or anything like that. Now I have the latest available version of macOS 10.14.6 installed. I can’t believe that such problems can occur on a laptop worth more than $ 2,000. I'm ready to bring my MacBook Pro back to the store.
The problem was also confirmed by the owners of other 2019 models.
I have a MacBook Pro 15 with a discrete graphics card. Almost three months have passed since I bought it, and recently I had a similar problem with flickering matrix. It is noteworthy that during the movement of the cursor or any action this problem is not observed.
Some owners believe that this problem is due to incorrect graphics, and not a matrix defect. However, this does not change the fact that the problem occurs both with the MacBook Pro with integrated accelerators and with discrete graphics cards. Have you ever had such a breakdown? We suggest discussing it in our Forum.
How to solve this problem with MacBook Pro?
It is still difficult to say what the main reason for this malfunction is. Apple's technical support did not offer owners a simple solution to the problem, and the only option in this case is to contact the Apple Store or an Authorized Service Center.
Yes, there are no problems with maintenance and warranty obligations - but who wants to buy such an expensive laptop with a factory defect, and then repair it. In this case, a lot of questions to Apple arise, in particular to the department responsible for product quality control.
