The Apple MacBook Pro "M3 Max" 16-Core CPU/40-Core GPU 14-Inch (Late 2023) is technically a custom-ordered version of the MacBook Pro "M3 Pro" 11 CPU/14 GPU, "M3 Pro" 12 CPU/18 GPU, and "M3 Max" 14 CPU/30 GPU 14-inch models, but it's also documented as a standalone model for convenience. Apart from the processor, graphics processor, and power adapter, these models can be identical.
This model is powered by a 4.05 GHz Apple M3 Max processor featuring sixteen cores (12 performance and 4 efficiency), a 40-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It comes with a minimum of 48 GB of "unified" RAM and a 1 TB onboard SSD, both of which can be configured with higher capacities at purchase but cannot be upgraded later.
Offered in silver and "Space Black" (but not the gunmetal "Space Gray"), this notebook includes 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, and a large "Force Touch" trackpad.
Additionally, it features a high-resolution 14.2-inch LED-backlit "Liquid Retina XDR" display with a resolution of 3024x1964 (254 ppi, 1000 nits sustained, 1600 nits peak HDR, 600 nits SDR, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio), and an integrated battery providing an Apple-estimated 12-18 hours of runtime.
Connectivity consists of Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3, three Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB-C), an HDMI 2.1 port, an SDXC-capable card slot, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a "MagSafe 3" power connector.
In comparison to its predecessor, this 14-inch "Late 2023" MacBook Pro model boasts a slightly brighter screen, a faster processor and graphics processor, and a new black color option.
