If you want the very best Apple laptop, there’s only one option: The M1 Max 16-inch MacBook Pro. The M1 Max variant is rarer than the other models that have an M1 Pro processor. However, it is now: Amazon sells the 16-inch MacBook Pro for $3,100 with an M1 Max processor & 1TB storage., a savings of $399 and the best price we’ve ever seen by a wide margin.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro is identical in every way to the M1 Pro version, except for the processor and memory. Instead of an M1 Pro processor with a 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU and 16GB of RAM, you’ll get an M1 Max processor with a 10‑core CPU and 32‑core GPU along with 32GB RAM. That brings impressive graphics gains if you’re running apps like Final Cut or playing games.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro’s other features are identical to the M1 Pro. It has a stunning 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR LCD display with ProMotion, a 21-hour battery, six-speaker sound system and an impressive array port options, including HDMI and an SD card reader, three Thunderbolt 4 ports as well as MagSafe for fast charging via the included 140W USB C power adapter.
We’ve never seen this model anywhere near this cheap and we don’t know how long it’ll last, so if you want one go grab it.
