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 16-Core CPU features twelve 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 128GB of unified memory, unlocking workflows previously not available on a laptop, such as AI developers working with even larger transformer models with billions of parameters.

With a 40-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.

A: Yes. With the introduction of Rosetta 2, M1 and macOS Big Sur seamlessly run apps that haven’t yet transitioned to Universal versions. You see more about it here: https://www.engadget.com/rosetta-2-will-keep-old-intel-apps-running-on-apples-new-silicon-182442712.html

Q: 9. What is processor speed?

A: Apple does not specify the clock speed but user benchmarks put it at 3.2Ghz.

Q: 10. Should I expand the ram or the ssd? I primarily use it for photoshop and illustrator mostly for graphic design not photo editing

A: I would recommend any expansion happening at the point of purchase. These units are not upgradable internally after that point. Now for Photoshop and illustrator, I would recommend the most ram that is feasible based on your work flow. Storage capacity can be modified with external drives after the fact if need be.

[2 TB] Works well, state of the art laptop. 5

[120 Hz] 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

Paulo	23/07/2024
[100 Wh] It's been 10 years since the last time I purchased a MacBook Pro and this specific model has both the cpu and memory needed for all my software development needs. Highly recommend it and B&H has the fastest shipping! 5

Tom	06/07/2024
[1x HDMI ] 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

Jeffrey	17/06/2024
[48 GB] B&H yet again proves to be a reliable merchant. Faster access to Mac hardware then you can get from apple somehow. 5

Brad	07/06/2024
[48 GB] Easy setup. MUCH faster than my 2015 15 Macbook Pro Retina. The battery life is excellent. 5

James	06/06/2024
[Mini-LED LCD] 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

[Mini-LED LCD] Fast, flexible, easy to use and very GUI friendly. Oh and did I say it was fast??? 5

Matthew	22/05/2024
[16:10] I got this fully loaded... held nothing back. Paid quite the price for it, but oh man is this computer powerful. 5

Timothy	19/05/2024
[1x HDMI ] 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
