Powerful M1 chip easily handles intensive tasks.MacBook Pro 16-inch review: Specs & performance Scrolling through emails? It can drop right down, saving battery life while maintaining performance. Editing videos or playing games? It’ll go as high as 120Hz. It’s really gorgeous, and it offers the ProMotion technology from the iPad Pro and iPhone 13 Pro models which means that its refresh rate will adjust based on what you’re doing. Our 16-inch review unit offers 3456 x 2234 native resolution, with up to 1,000 nits sustained brightness (1,600 peak) that feels transformative. Whichever screen size you opt for, you’ll be getting a Liquid Retina XDR display. You can opt for the bigger charger when ordering, though, at an extra cost of $20. While the 16-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 140W USB-C charger that connects via MagSafe for fast charging, the 14-inch will charge slower via a 67W charger. Making its return, MagSafe means if someone trips over the power cable of your MacBook Pro, it’ll disconnect to prevent yanking the machine to the floor. That’ll help you dock your MacBook from whichever side is most convenient for you if you don’t prefer MagSafe. It’s disappointing that the HDMI port isn’t 2.1 for higher frame rates on an external display, but the USB-C ports on both sides can be used for charging if you have a compatible cable. MacBook Pro 16-inch review: Design & features Transferring over Wi-Fi from a prior MacBook took around ten minutes, with the total setup taking just fifteen or so in total (transfers will be quicker using a cable instead). You can use Migration Assistant to transfer data from a Windows machine or another Mac, and we used the latter. There’s also the option to set up TouchID immediately, as well as Apple Pay – although both can be skipped. When powering up for the first time, you’ll be prompted to select a language, a location, and log in with your Apple ID. MacBook Pro 16-inch review: Set up and usability Some will scoff at the notch that houses the camera, but as far as accuracy and vibrancy goes, it’s the best laptop display out there, earning it the top spot in our best laptops for photo editing guide. It even makes the prior MacBook Pro’s screen look a little old-fashioned. It feels like a MacBook mea culpa, and it’s better for it – and that’s without getting to the gorgeous new display which absolutely blows away premium Windows models. Apple is even happy for the laptop to be a little on the heftier side, with increased thickness and weight.Īll of this extra power makes it perfect for resource intensive tasks, which is why we're ranking the MacBook Pro 16-inch as one of the best laptops for coding and programming. It even brings back MagSafe, and finally overhauls the 720p camera system we’ve had for far too long, all while expanding the power of the M1 with the M1 Pro or M1 Max – magnitudes more powerful than even last year’s laptops. The 2021 MacBook Pro replaces the Touch Bar with function keys, continues the resurgence of Mac keyboard with an excellent scissor-switch design, and adds more ports – including the long-absent SD card slot. The advent of the company’s own Mac processors then has seen somewhat of a course correction for the tech giant.
