The Apple MacBook Pro "M2 Pro" 12-Core CPU/19-Core GPU 16-Inch (2023) is powered by a 3.49 GHz Apple M2 Pro processor with twelve cores (8 performance, 4 efficiency), a 19-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, 16 GB of "unified" onboard RAM, and either a 512 GB or 1 TB onboard SSD. Both RAM and SSD were only upgradable at the time of purchase.
Available in silver and "Space Gray," this notebook features an integrated 1080p FaceTime HD webcam, a high-fidelity six-speaker sound system with force-cancelling woofers, a backlit "Magic Keyboard" with a "Touch ID" sensor (but no "Touch Bar"), and a large "Force Touch" trackpad.
It also has a high-resolution 16.2" widescreen 3456x2234 (254 ppi, 1000 nits sustained, 1600 nits peak HDR, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio) LED-backlit "Liquid Retina XDR" display and a battery with an estimated 15-22 hour life.
Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3, three Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB-C), an HDMI 2.1 port, an SDXC card slot, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a "MagSafe 3" power connector.
Compared to its predecessor, the 16" "2023" MacBook Pro models offer faster performance and graphics, longer battery life, improved connectivity, and the option for more RAM at an additional cost.
