Thank you for the reply! I got ahold of Apple and they said it is 99% accurate. Thabk you for telling me about the keyboard problem!

Hello! I am looking at the Macbook pro and was wondering if it covers 100% or what % of the p3 color gamut? The Apple website says that it uses the p3 color gamut but not what % of coverage. Any help would be appreciated. I am currently picking between a razer blade pro or a macbook pro (configured to 3500 usd).

That's surprising to know about the new 2016 MacBook Pros, because usually the retina screens have barely 100% sRGB and an external monitor would be necessary for a wider gamut support.  The 2016 models come with a Radeon Pro GPU that supports 10-bit color, but I assumed it would only handle 10-bit with an external 10-bit monitor and not on the integrated retina display.

It is! That is why I was nervous because they did not give a % of coverage. It took them a while to find the information for me though. Was on hold for like 30 minutes. I am glad it has 99% p3 color coverage on the monitor. Makes it much better for my use case.
