Fantastic Laptop and Shopping Experience

Blazing fast computer and even faster shipping and handling by Adorama. I got a great deal rather than going direct to Apple and just exceptional service. Thank you!!

After years of innovation, the MacBook Pro 14.2" with Liquid Retina XDR Display, M2 Max Chip, 12-Core CPU, and 38-Core GPU is here to redefine the boundaries of laptop performance. This powerhouse, available in Space Gray, is the epitome of efficiency and power, designed to deliver exceptional performance, whether it's plugged in or running on its long-lasting battery life.

The MacBook Pro is supercharged by the M2 Max, Apple's most powerful and efficient chip ever in a pro laptop. This chip is a marvel of technology, packed with a staggering 67 billion transistors, offering up to 96GB of unified memory and a memory bandwidth of 400GB/s. This means you can render effects, merge massive panoramas, and design extreme 3D geometry on an unprecedented scale.

The M2 Max chip also leverages additional performance cores and efficiency cores, totaling up to 12 CPU cores. This allows you to do more while using very little power. The 38 GPU cores deliver a leap in graphics performance, and the faster 16-core Neural Engine can execute up to 15.8 trillion operations per second.

The MacBook Pro is not just about power; it's also about display. The Liquid Retina XDR display brings refined specular highlights, incredible detail in shadows, and vibrant, true-to-life colors. The ProMotion feature makes everything from scrolling to gaming superfluid and responsive, with refresh rates up to 120Hz.

The MacBook Pro also features a 1080p camera with a wide aperture and a large image sensor for better performance in low light. The studio-quality three-mic array captures even the subtlest sounds, while the six-speaker sound system delivers deeper bass and room-filling sound.

The MacBook Pro is built on an all-flash storage architecture, with configurations up to 8TB for demanding workflows with large files. It also supports up to four external displays and up to 10 streams of 8K ProRes video playback.

The MacBook Pro is also equipped with a full-height function key row and Touch ID for a fast, easy, secure way to unlock your Mac and sign in to apps and sites. With the MacBook Pro, you can work smarter, play harder, and go further.
