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.

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.

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 16-inch M3 review: another big step up for the MacBook

A power user 3D animator puts the new MacBook Pro M3 through its paces.

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

Expensive ; Very limited user upgrade options

The Macbook Pro M3 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...

MacBook Pro 16-inch M3 Max review: Battery-powered Mac Pro power

The 16-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Max, especially outfitted like our review unit, is expensive, but it delivers power and computing heft roughly equivalent to the M2 Ultra Mac Studio for that cash.

MacBook Pro 16-inch (M3 Max, 2023) review: The most powerful MacBook ever

The M3 Max-powered MacBook Pro 16-inch sets a new standard for performance. Though its starting price of $3,499 is lofty, there's arguably no better machine for those who need an ultra-powerful comput

While I can’t recommend the MacBook Pro 16-inch with M3 Max to everyone, it’s an absolute beast of a laptop that proves Apple silicon’s might. As before, Apple has set a new standard that its competitors must now live up to. If you own an old Intel...

+ 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR is beautiful ; + Ample Type-C USB ports for external connectivity ; + Very comfortable keyboard to type on ; + Large and sensitive TrackPad lets you get rid of your mouse ; + Powerful six-speakers audio ; + Seriously...

- Lack of Type-A USB means I need to carry additional accessories ; - Appearance definitely could use a refresh ; - About time FaceID gets added for quicker access ; - The notch spoils the beautiful display

The Apple MacBook Pro packs a lot of power and yet delivers extremely great battery life. I really dont find any reasons not to fall in love with it.
