Packed with 92 billion transistors, the Apple M3 Max integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and more into a single system on a chip (SoC). Now built with 3nm process technology, the Apple M3 Pro delivers the performance you need without sacrificing power efficiency. The 14-Core CPU features ten performance cores and four efficiency cores. The enhanced 16-Core Neural Engine accelerates powerful machine learning models, making AI/ML workflows even faster while keeping data on device to preserve privacy. The M3 Max offers support for up to 96GB of unified memory.

With a 30-Core GPU, the M3 Max features Dynamic Caching, which allocates the use of local memory in hardware in real time. Dynamic Caching only uses the exact amount of memory needed is used for each task, which dramatically increases the average utilization of the GPU, resulting in significant performance increases for the most demanding pro apps and games. Hardware-accelerated ray tracing has arrived for the Mac. Ray tracing models the properties of light as it interacts with a scene, allowing apps to create extremely realistic and physically accurate images. Additionally, the improved GPU brings hardware-accelerated mesh shading to the Mac, delivering greater capability and efficiency to geometry processing, and enabling more visually complex scenes in games and graphics-intensive apps. The M3 Max features two video encode engines, two ProRes engines, and AV1 decode.

Featuring mini-LED technology, this MacBook Pro houses a 16.2" Liquid Retina XDR display. Delivering up to 1000 cd/m² of sustained, full-screen brightness, a high 1600 cd/m² of peak brightness, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and a billion colors, the Liquid Retina XDR display can handle the extreme dynamic range of HDR content, providing detailed shadows, brilliant specular highlights, deeper blacks, and vivid colors. The display is less than 4mm thin, which is achieved by having seven films and diffusers that mix and shape the light efficiently.

With ProMotion technology, the MacBook Pro automatically varies the refresh rate to match the motion of your onscreen content. This helps preserve battery life while also making tasks feel more fluid and responsive. This means that the display can have up to a 120 Hz refresh rate. Video editors will also have the option to lock in a refresh rate that is optimal for their footage.

The narrow-band LED-powered backlight allows the MacBook Pro to represent the P3 wide color gamut for brilliant, true-to-life color in photos and videos.

The MacBook Pro has 2TB of SSD storage so you can take your photo or video libraries with you no matter where you're headed. And with superfast speeds, massive files load in an instant and pro apps launch in a blink.

[8.295 lb] I got this fully loaded... held nothing back. Paid quite the price for it, but oh man is this computer powerful. 5

[36 GB] This is the fastest, coolest (temperature), and versatile computer I have owned. I have owned various MacBook Pro's (Intel era), iMacs and MacPros (cheese grate), so I know a little about OSX computers. I use Parallels sometimes to run Windows 11 Pro, and this computer does not disappoint. I use CT scans for work, and can seamlessly use the same software at work (Intel PCs with Nvidia RTX cards) vs. my ARM version Windows 11 Pro in virtual machine simulation. Manipulation of these 3D renders is comparable in speed (even though the software explicitly states that it was not optimized to use ARM chips). Haven't found anything that really slows it down. The computer is mostly cool all the time. The fans barely quick up, if at all, so it is really quiet. But most importantly, I use this computer day in and day out, and most of the time I can use it all day for three to four days before it is down to the 20-30% range where I start feeling anxious and then I plug it in. Charge up is super quick as well -- I think less than an hour to fully charge to 100% from a really low state of charge. So this is the first computer that I feel comfortable calling portable since I don't have to worry so much about finding a plug somewhere. For sure, a well built solid machine. The only cons I have to report is the weight -- I put a clam shell clear protector (which was not that heavy), but I feel that this laptop could be used as a weapon to defend myself if I had to (like the really old IBM mechanical keyboards if you are from my generation). Also, I think there is a small defect on the edge of my screen in the super thin black surround frame which is a purely cosmetic annoyance. I didn't bother to claim warranty on this since I figure it does not really affect the computer's functions. Overall, I would buy it again, although I probably would wait for the M4 that is coming out soon. Kudos to Apple again for creating such a nice piece of hardware. 5

[16:10] Coming from a 6 yr old intel mac where the fans were always running and 2 hours battery life max, this is just amazing. Even without that baggage it's a great machine. Battery life is forever, extremely efficient, fast. 5

[100 Wh] Upgraded from Macbook Pro with six I9 chips. Loaded to the max it was outstanding computer at that time. The new M3 Max blows that one out of the water in performance. Even better, the new M3 was almost $2K cheaper than the old I9 system. And the Black is very cool color. Very Happy and as always,B&H is always exceptional to do business with. 5

Kyle	08/08/2024
[1,000,000:1] Sooo fast, editing full RED RAW 8k footage no problem! The price from B&H can never be beat! 5

Frank	23/07/2024
[100 Wh] Fast, flexible, easy to use and very GUI friendly. Oh and did I say it was fast??? 5

[120 Hz] Works well, state of the art laptop. 5

[16.2"] This is my second MacBook Pro. The old one didn't tolerate excessive g-forces all that well. I love the new one even more. It seems to be a touch slower loading programs, but when working with photography, video and audio it is noticeably much faster. The colors are accurate and the picture quality is visibly sharper and cleaner. I now use this MacBook instead of my iMac 27 to do all of my editing. I highly recommend this computer. 5

[36 GB] I used to be a PC fanatic, but my first 21st century Mac, a MacBook Air, drove my conversion to Mac fanatic (2010), followed by a Pro in 2012, and other Macs thereafter. My new MacBook Pro (16) is the best ever, even topping my loaded MacMini (M2 chip) in my office. (This MBP-24 is my third Mac with Apple silicon in it.) This is the greatest Lightroom/Photoshop platform around! And B&H turned my order around promptly and perfectly. Bravo, gang! 5

Timothy	13/06/2024
[36 GB] I’m coming from a 2016 MacBook Pro, I could not believe the speed of my new MacBook Pro M3 Max!!! I’m loving it! This might be my last MacBook for work, what a great machine to go out with! I can see using it in retirement. 5
