MacBook Pro 16-Inch, M3 Max, Late 2023

The Apple MacBook Pro "M3 Max" 16-Core CPU/40-Core GPU 16-Inch (Late 2023) model is equipped with a 4.05 GHz Apple M3 Max processor that has sixteen CPU cores (12 performance and 4 efficiency), a 40-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It comes with a default of 48 GB of "unified" onboard RAM and a 1 TB onboard SSD. Both RAM and SSD can be customized with higher-capacity options at the time of purchase, but neither can be upgraded later.

Offered in silver and "Space Black," 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 LED-backlit 16.2" widescreen "Liquid Retina XDR" display with a 3456x2234 resolution (254 ppi, 1000 nits sustained, 1600 nits peak HDR, 1000 nits SDR, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio). The integrated battery provides an Apple-estimated 15-22 hours of runtime.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3, three Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB-C), an HDMI 2.1 port, an SDXC-capable SD card slot, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a "MagSafe 3" power connector.

Compared to its predecessor, this 16-inch "Late 2023" MacBook Pro model is similar in many respects but features a faster processor and graphics architecture, a slightly brighter display, and improved battery life.

The flagship 16-inch MacBook Pro from Late 2023, armed with the 16-core CPU and 40-core GPU M3 Max, was unequivocally the most powerful laptop Apple had ever produced. It delivered staggering performance gains, with its CPU showing a massive jump in multicore scores and its GPU benefiting from a new architecture with Dynamic Caching and hardware-accelerated ray tracing. This model was praised for its ability to handle the most extreme professional workflows with ease, all while maintaining impressive battery life for its class. The larger chassis provided the thermal headroom needed to sustain the M3 Max's peak performance over long periods. Housed in an elegant 'Space Black' finish and featuring a slightly brighter display, it was a no-compromise machine for creators and developers demanding the absolute best.
