Fantastic Laptop and Shopping Experience

By Kameron Z.

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!!

Mover. Maker. Boundary breaker.
Supercharged by M2 Max, MacBook Pro takes its power and efficiency further than ever. It delivers exceptional performance whether it's plugged in or not, and now has even longer battery life. Combined with a stunning Liquid Retina XDR display and all the ports you need - this is a pro laptop without equal.

Supercharged by
• 12-core CPU
• Up to 38-core GPU
• Up to 96GB unified memory
• 400GB/s memory bandwidth

Introducing the next generation of Apple silicon for pros: The extraordinary M2 Max - the most powerful and efficient chip ever in a pro laptop.

New pro chips.
Scaling up the M2 architecture, M2 Max deliver a next-generation CPU and GPU designed around high-bandwidth unified memory. Along with immensely capable media engines, these pro chips feature the faster 16-core Neural Engine and the latest Secure Enclave from M2.

M2 Max
M2 Max goes even further. With up to 96GB of unified memory, M2 Max shatters the limits of graphics memory in a laptop. It's packed with a staggering 67 billion transistors - 10 billion more than M1 Max and over three times more than M2. And it delivers four times that of M2.

M2 Max chip
• Up to 96GB unified memory
• 400GB/s memory bandwidth

Better. And better.
M2 Max CPUs leverage additional performance cores and efficiency cores - up to 12 CPU cores total - so you can do more while using very little power. Up to 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.

• 12-core CPU
• Up to 38-core GPU
• 16-core Neural Engine

Keeps going. No matter watt.
At their peak, M2 Max deliver up to 20 percent more CPU performance and up to 30 percent more GPU performance than M1 Pro and M1 Max in the same power envelope. With this unmatched performance per watt, the new MacBook Pro has even longer battery life - and the 16.2" model has the longest battery life ever in a Mac.

The most powerful and efficient chip ever in a pro laptop, M2 Max is engineered to help pros push the boundaries of their ingenuity and creativity. With the same next-generation M2 Max has twice the memory bandwidth, up to three times the unified memory, and up to 38 GPU cores. So you can render effects, merge massive panoramas, and design extreme 3D geometry on an unprecedented scale.

• Up to 38-core GPU
• Up to 96GB unified memory
• 400GB/s memory bandwidth
• Support for up to four external displays
• Up to 10 streams of 8K ProRes video playback

Choose your size. Choose your chip. Let it rip.
MacBook Pro is available in 14- and 16.2" models. Each can be configured with the M2 Max chip and offers next-level pro performance in a laptop.

Video transcoding/Video editing/Image upscaling/Code compiling/Photo editing/Motion graphics

We can do this all day.
The 16.2" model has the longest battery life ever in a Mac. And both models remain just as fast whether on battery or plugged in. That efficiency is the magic of Apple silicon. So wherever inspiration strikes or whenever duty calls, run with it.

• Up to 18hrs video playback
• Up to 12hrs wireless web browsing

The coolest part.
Thanks to the efficiency of Apple silicon, the fans don't even have to turn on for most of your daily tasks. And for heavier workflows, the advanced thermal systems move air at low fan speeds.

Think huge.
MacBook Pro is built on an all-flash storage architecture designed to make everyday tasks snappy and responsive. For demanding workflows with large files, configurations up to 8TB deliver even more performance.

• Up to 8TB SSD storage

Smooth operator.
macOS Ventura was designed to maximize the capabilities of Apple silicon. So your go-to pro apps run faster, and multitasking is smoother than ever. With over 15,000 optimized apps and plug-ins - and powerful new macOS features like Stage Manager - you can work smarter, play harder, and go further.

Photo editing/Software development/Graphic design/Productivity/3D rendering/Music creation/Video editing/STEM

Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Photo 2, Capture One, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, and more.

The best display ever in a laptop.

Liquid Retina XDR.
Extreme Dynamic Range brings refined specular highlights, incredible detail in shadows, and vibrant, true-to-life colors. Each display is calibrated in the factory and features pro reference modes for HDR color grading, photography, design, and print production.

ProMotion.
Making everything from scrolling to gaming superfluid and responsive, ProMotion automatically adjusts to match the movement of content - with refresh rates up to 120Hz. Video editors can also choose a fixed refresh rate that precisely aligns with their footage.

Display enclosure.
Less than 4 mm thin, it provides the structure for the world's best laptop display. Mini-LEDs. Thousands of mini-LEDs are grouped into individually controlled local dimming zones for precise brightness and contrast. Custom optical films and diffusers. Seven films and diffusers mix and shape the light efficiently while enabling an ultrathin design. LCD panel. This integrates a high-mobility oxide-TFT layer that allows pixels to charge twice as fast as before, enabling refresh rates of up to 120Hz.

Far and away your sharpest look.

Look sharp wherever you make or take video calls
Whether you're connecting with friends and family across time zones or collaborating with colleagues out in the field. The 1080p camera uses a wide aperture to let in more light, combined with a large image sensor for better performance in low light.

Studio-quality three-mic array.
With a signal-to-noise ratio that rivals professional-grade microphones, MacBook Pro can capture even the subtlest sounds. And directional beamforming minimizes background noise so your voice comes through loud and clear.

Six-speaker sound system.
Four force-cancelling woofers deliver deeper bass and room-filling sound. High-performance tweeters project clearer, fuller vocals. And Spatial Audio creates a sophisticated three-dimensional soundstage when you're playing music or video with Dolby Atmos.

Plug and play.
Transfer photos and videos with an SDXC card reader. Connect to TVs or displays with HDMI output, which now supports up to 8K. Plug in accessories and additional displays using three Thunderbolt 4 ports. And enjoy up to two times faster throughput with Wi-Fi 6E.

Expand your screen real estate.
Connect up to three Pro Display XDRs and a 4K TV with M2 Max.

The magic touch.
• Touch ID
• Unlock your Mac
• Sign in to apps and websites with passkeys
• Use Apple Pay for payments
