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

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...

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

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

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...
