Product Description

Display

The new Apple laptop features a 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, which provides a high-resolution display. It is the most affordable laptop with a 120Hz display with mini-LED technology. The new display on the MacBook Pro has a peak HDR brightness of 1600 nits and a peak SDR brightness of 600 nits.

1080p web camera

Video calling and web conferencing are now a part of everyone’s life. You can look your best with the 1080p built-in web camera on the new 16-inch MacBook Pro. The 1080p FaceTime HD camera has a studio-quality three-mic array and a six-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio.

Apple M3 Max Chip

Building on the M1, M2, and M3 chips, M3 Max provides outstanding performance and unified memory for more demanding apps and workflows. Apple M3 Max chips are the first consumer processors utilizing TSMC’s 3nm process, which allows more transistors to be packed into a smaller space and thus improves speed and efficiency. While the Apple M1 and Apple M2 chips performed excellently, the M3 Max processor is equally remarkable and serves even better.

M3 Max Chip comes along with:

• 14-core CPU
• 30-core GPU
• 36GB Unified Memory
• 1TB SSD Storage

It is worth noting that the M3 Max chip is well-equipped to run multiple apps, speed through thousands of photos, and effortlessly edit 4K and 8K videos. It supports two displays.

Operating System and Processing Capabilities

M3 Max powers the most extreme workflows with even more CPU and GPU cores, enormous unified memory, and an advanced Media Engine. The M3 Max Chip:

• Renders intricate 3D content to develop transformer models with billions of parameters.
• Tackles post-production of 8K video and beyond
• Configures with up to 128GB unified memory
• Supports up to four external displays

The 16-inch MacBook Pro M3 Max chip has a 30-core GPU, one of the first Apple Silicon chips to support hardware-accelerated ray tracing, further improving the gaming experience.

Moreover, macOS Sonoma is also optimized for gaming, making it one of the first and most affordable MacBooks from Apple that gamers can consider.

Unified Memory

Faster and more efficient than traditional RAM, unified memory is integrated within the M3 family of chips so apps can quickly share data between the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine. You can also:

• Run multiple apps at once while performance remains fast and responsive
• Add memory to run more apps simultaneously for faster, more fluid multitasking
• With M3 Max, MacBook Pro can be configured with up to 128GB of memory

Connectivity

You will find several features on the 16-inch MacBook that enable connectivity. They include Three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, a headphone jack, and a MagSafe 3 port.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro M3 Max retains a full-sized HDMI port and an SD card slot. It is a creator-friendly laptop that can access content from your professional camera and plug in an external monitor without requiring an adapter or dongle.

Keyboard

Like its predecessors, the 16-inch MacBook Pro M3 Max has the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. Your typing and productivity are enhanced and not compromised in any way. The Force Touch trackpad is equally as impressive as the Magic Keyboard in maximizing your experience as you work.
