My maxed-out 2019 16" MBP was always a dog. The 2016-2019 Intel MBPs suffered from an inability to cool themselves (esp. with dual external displays) and were just overly complex. I think the combination of the Intel CPU, discrete GPU, and T1/T2 controller just made for an overly complex and crash prone system. Mine had this weird issue where touchpad and keyboard input would periodically experience some kind of deadlock. I could trigger this using the calculator app. Enter 42, +, 23, and press =. The results would not show up until I would move the mouse or tap a key on the keyboard. I traded the 2019 MBP for a 14" M1 Pro as soon as I could and haven't looked back. This machine is great.
