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

The MacBook Pro 16 with the M3 Max chip is an undoubtedly powerful machine with impressive performance. It'll also cost you to harness that power. But hey, it comes in black!

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.

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.
