Choose this MacBook Pro with a more-or-less similar longevity in mind.Jesse H : Performance, battery life, and portabilityJAC L : Is the M3 Max overkill for most prosumer tasks? Probably. However, when I buy a new Macbook Pro, the intent is for it to be a dependable and capable daily driver for 5+ years. The M3 Max gives you more GPU cores (with more monitor support) and the all important 300GB/s memory bandwidth. Spec'ing out a Macbook Pro M3 Pro with the 32GB of RAM and 1TB drive saves you a few hundred dollars, but you'll get less GPU and only 150GB/s of memory bandwidth.MARVIN B : Edit Compton California super star LT Wigglez music videos and live performancesPIERRE B : Professional video editing workflow using softwares such as davinci resolve, after effects, Lightroom,etc… purposesSCOTT G : Great price on an awesome laptop!JOHN S : Highly capable computerJanice B : personal useLUCAS LUAN T : For my professional graphic design careerCRISTOPHER M : Apple Insider Coupon code for $300 offDECIO A : I needed a new one.Romulo P : I use macbook since they were called powerbooks.

Rated 5 out of 5

State of the art Apple laptop

Expensive but worth the price. This replaced a 2023 MacBook M2 Pro. I wanted a laptop that had more memory and hard drive space, along with the highest performance processor. That way I hope to be able to use this machine for many future years. So far with limited use over a few apps, performance is FAST!! Typical Apple quality and ease of use with great integration with other Apple devices.

Hard to beat MacBook Pro Max

Excellent machine so far. Good performance, super battery life (though I don't get quite the advertised amount). Love the new space black color though I would love to have the glowing apple or even a more distinct logo for the work to see. The single complaint I have is that it is 'heavy'. If it could shed 1/2 to 1 pound it would be ideal?given the performance I might opt for an Air model next time.

Explore the full story

MacBook Pro blasts forward with the M3 Max chip. Built on 3-nanometer technology and featuring an all-new GPU architecture, they're the most advanced chips ever built for a personal computer. And each one brings more pro performance and capability.

M3 Max

M3 Max brings massive performance and capabilities for those with the most extreme workflows, featuring even more CPU and GPU cores, enormous unified memory, and additional Media Engine resources. It pushes the limits of what a computer can do - in the studio or on location. Intricate 3D rendering, video post-production on the highest-resolution content, developing transformer models with billions of parameters - the most intensive workflows become an absolute breeze.

ACMACPROMX

Game-changing graphics performance

Behold an entirely new class of GPU architecture. And the biggest breakthrough in graphics yet for Apple silicon. Dynamic Caching optimizes fast on-chip memory to dramatically increase average GPU utilization - driving a huge performance boost for the most demanding pro apps and games.

ACMACPROMX

Hardware-accelerated ray tracing

For the first time, MacBook Pro features hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Combined with the new graphics architecture, it enables pro apps to deliver up to two and a half times faster rendering performance and allows games to provide more realistic shadows and reflections.

ACMACPROMX

We can do this all day

MacBook Pro has the longest battery life ever in a Mac - up to 18 hours. That efficiency is the magic of Apple silicon. And all models remain just as fast whether plugged in or not. So wherever inspiration strikes or whenever duty calls, run with it.

ACMACPROMX

The best display ever in a laptop

Extreme Dynamic Range (XDR) brings refined specular highlights, incredible detail in shadows, and vibrant, true-to-life colors. Calibrated in the factory, each Liquid Retina XDR display also features ProMotion and pro reference modes.

ACMACPROMX

Crisp. Clear. Commanding.

1080p camera

It makes video calls feel more like the real thing - with technologies to help you look sharp in any light.

Studio-quality three-mic array

Captures the subtlest sounds in audio production and minimizes background noise so your voice comes through loud and clear.

Six-speaker sound system

Two pairs of force-cancelling woofers with two tweeters fill the room with sound. And Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos creates a three-dimensional soundstage.

ACMACPROMX

All the right connections

MacBook Pro packs a powerful array of ports for connecting high-speed peripherals, driving high-resolution displays, or directly offloading SDXC cards. And it supports both Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

ACMACPROMX

Security at the touch of a finger

The Magic Keyboard comes with a full-height function key row and Touch ID, which gives you a fast, easy, secure way to unlock your Mac and sign in to apps and sites.
