Our expert review

A fast, large MacBook that can handle everything

Large, bright 600 nits screen
Processor is lightning fast
Large trackpad
No Internet connection

This MacBook Pro is the most powerful laptop I've ever owned. The new M3 Max chip makes it suitable for the most demanding workflows and toughest tasks. Think of app development, 3D design and gaming. You can keep an overview on the 16-inch screen and you won't miss a single detail. On the other hand, it weighs more due to its large size. This makes it less easy to take it with you.

The same, but just different
Apple has changed almost nothing about the design. You still have a large trackpad, Touch ID and plenty of connections. This way you can charge your MacBook with MagSafe 3, it has 3 Thunderbolt 4 ports and a mini jack connection. There is also an SDXE card slot and an HDMI port. The only thing missing is an Ethernet connection. A nice detail is that the charging cable is included in the same color. The cable is made of fabric, so it wears out less quickly. The screen quality has received a boost. MacBook Pro still has a Liquid Retina XDR display, but this time with 600 nits. This allows you to see even the darkest images clearly. Previous models had 500 nits.

Everything is possible, from 8K video editing to app development and gaming
To create 3D drawings or develop software, you need a heavy processor with a lot of RAM. MacBook Pro with M3 Max meets those requirements. I develop apps in Xcode without any difficulty. I create 3D designs smoothly in demanding programs such as AutoCAD. Even my 8K video files render quickly and I run all these projects simultaneously on up to 4 external screens. Moreover, I can easily connect my PS5 controller to my Mac and play games like Resident Evil. Shadows and reflections look realistic. The new ray tracing technology and the 40 graphics cores are powerful enough for this. Frequent charging is not necessary, because my fully charged MacBook lasts up to 22 hours.

Fan of macOS Sonoma
With macOS Sonoma I make my home screen more personal. For example, I have widgets such as calendar and notes on my desktop. In addition, I easily transfer widgets from my iPhone to my MacBook.
As soon as I start gaming, I turn on Game Mode. This makes gaming even smoother and faster. Game Mode works with any game and also supports all new and announced Mac games. During heavy games I sometimes hear the fan blowing.

Pricey but really a great MacBook!

Beautiful Design
Fast
Nice screen
Heavy Weight

I have been using the MacBook Pro 16 inch for more than 2 weeks now and I am still very satisfied with it!
With the 120hz screen, it is really pleasant for your eyes to look at the screen. The screen also displays beautiful colors.
It's perfect for video and photo editing! And some games already run very well, but not many well-known titles are available on Mac...
You can certainly last all day with 1 full battery. And with the 140W charger, the MacBook is charged again in a very short time.
The MacBook Pro may be on the pricey side, but it really is a top device!

Worst value, arm twisted into buying for work

Battery life
Looks nice
Worst bang for the buck in the market

I've had quite a few laptops in my day, the full gamut. Most of the MacBooks I had were provided by my employer so I just worked with what I had. I'm familiar with the Apple cult, especially here in the Netherlands, was never a fan. Most of the laptops I bought myself were Windows machines. I like to buy my work tools at good value, Apple never fit that category, obviously.

The Apple tax is high here, extremely, unreasonably. A Windows laptop with similar performance would've cost half, without exaggeration. You also won't have to gamble on the spec. With this MacBook Pro you're locked, for life, in to whatever you choose now, no way to upgrade. And if something breaks, the whole thing will need to be replaced. Worst of all, if something goes wrong with the motherboard? Forget about your data. Apple, in its infinite wisdom, decided to embed the drive controller onto the motherboard, instead of keeping it on the drive (as is the case for every other vendor) - so that if something breaks on your motherboard, your drives are safe and vice versa. Not with Apple. One part goes, it all goes.

Alas, unfortunately, work demands certain things and this is one of them.

This is not a bad machine, pretty good actually. But the price and insane limitations simply strangle all practical reasoning out of it.
