Apple Macbook Pro 16-Inch With M3 Max

The Pro model MacBooks haven’t changed much in recent years, at least based purely on cosmetics. However, the latest version of Apple’s mainline, more expensive laptop brand is easily the most powerful rendition yet. The 16-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Max chip can handle difficult rendering tasks just as well as it can play some pretty intensive games (all those that actually work on Mac, that is), and it doesn’t even break a sweat. This was the second MacBook Pro model released in a single year, but despite that, the M3-powered laptop was more powerful than what came before. It was also better looking too, thanks to the “Space Black” colorway. We still hope Apple does away with the notch and upgrades the screen in later editions, but it’s hard not to recommend the MacBook Pro when all somebody wants is a powerful, portable PC. —Kyle Barr
