The MacBook Pro is Apple's most important laptop, and with the upgrade to the M3 Max, it's even more powerful.

Storage and RAM is soldered on M3 model only supports one external display

“The MacBook Pro's upgrade to the M3 Max ensures that it remains the best in class.”

Apple MacBook Pro 16 M3 Max review: the most power for the most money

 

Hello again. It's only been about 10 months since the M2 Pro and Max chips arrived on the MacBook Pros, but that's already old news. Here I am with the MacBook Pro 16 with the M3 Max chip — and hoo boy, this is one big, beefy hunk of Pro laptop. It's...

Great performance ; Long battery life ; Space black handles smudges better

Your wallet will cry ; All the usual Apple gripes — limited upgradability, smaller gaming catalog, etc.

Otherwise, this laptop is for a specific type of person: the kind of pro with workloads who can save a lot of time overall by shaving off a few minutes here and there. For those folks, the price is less of an issue because this is probably a business...

Review: Apple MacBook Pro (M3 Max, 16 Inch)

 

With a new M3 processor inside that juices performance across the board, the latest edition of Apple's world-class laptop smokes the competition.

Everything is top of the line here: Performance and battery life are untouchable across the board. New black chassis option is sharp. Speakers slap.

Very loud fan under load and High Power Mode. Can’t we color-match the power brick, Apple? Display notch is unappealing. With great power comes a great price tag.

Upgraded Wi-Fi and new M2 Pro and M2 Max processors deliver a nice generation-over-generation uptick.

Fast with solid battery life ; Good, bright screen ; Wi-Fi 6E and HDMI 2.1 support

Heavy ; That notch

Apple MacBook Pro 16-Inch (2023, M2 Max) Review

 

Unmatched laptop power ; Exceptional battery life ; Top-class mini LED display ; Apple's best laptop design

Expensive across the board ; Camera notch still takes getting used to

Apple's 2023 flagship, the MacBook Pro 16-Inch marries a proven, immaculate design with a fireball M2 Max CPU for fierce power in media creation, gaming, and high-end professional tasks. (Plus, it lasted nearly 27 hours on our battery test.)

MacBook Pro 16-inch (M3 Max, 2023) review: The new king of MacBooks

 

The MacBook Pro 16-inch widens the gap between itself and Windows PCs

Excellent overall performance ; Good gaming performance ; Bright colorful display ; Great battery life ; Super comfy keyboard ; Explemary audio quality

Expensive for a base model ; No Face ID ; Annoying notch

Faster and more powerful, Apple has once again lived up to its hype and created a system that outpaces everything else on the market with the MacBook Pro 16.

MacBook Pro 16-inch (M2 Max, 2023) review: The baddest MacBook in the land

 

The most powerful MacBook has arrived but at an exorbitant price

Powerful overall and gaming performance ; First-in-class battery life ; Excellent audio ; Beautiful display

Really expensive

The MacBook Pro 16 brings beauty, beastly performance and the longest battery life we’ve seen, but the price could be a dealbreaker.

Apple's latest Macbook Pro packs a ton of power and battery longevity into the same frame as the previous generation, but all that extra comes at a price.

Incredible performance ; Beautiful display ; Plenty of ports ; Great battery life

Expensive, particularly with options

It's been three months since Apple launched its top-of-the-line 16-inch MacBook Pro with the new M3 Max processor. Let's revisit it to see how it's held up and if it really is "scary fast."

Apple MacBook Pro M3 Max review: still the king of creative laptops

 

As a power user 3D animator, the new MacBook Pro M3 Max can take anything I throw at it.

Excellent performance ; Great battery life ; Solid, reliable build quality

Aimed at 3D, not 2D creatives ; Limited upgrade options

The Macbook Pro M3 Max takes a significant step up over its older siblings, with a large leap in performance and a beautiful display in a sleek package. With up to 128GB RAM, 16-core CPU and 40-core GPU, there is an option for even the most...
