And my version that has maximum memory and 2TB storage goes up to $4,400. The 16-inch model with M1 Max chip starts at $3,499. The new MacBook Pro is a machine for true creative professionals, and the price reflects that. The machine did not lag or freeze once during my 10 days of heavy use.

Otherwise, expect the same excellent seamless software experience here. New software additions include the ability to bring up a “Quick Notes” notepad when I drag the mouse cursor to the lower right corner. The new MacBook Pro runs MacOS Monterey 12.01.1, and it’s a clean-looking software that behaves similarly to last year’s MacOS. This is a machine with so much GPU power it’s for real creative professionals: filmmakers, musicians, digital artists.

Even I don’t fully make use of this machine’s full potential, and I have a secondary job making semi-professional quality YouTube videos. I’ll be honest: this machine packs more processing power than most average consumers will ever need. In benchmark numbers, the MacBook Pro output hits scores that far outpace all but the most high-end, spec’ed out machines on the market. So I rendered a smaller six minute 4k video, and the process took 50 seconds. It’s incredibly lightweight at just 2.82 ounces, but it's packing a 16,000-DPI sensor for. Rendering 8k video files is an extreme usage case that 99% of people won’t ever need. The Logitech G Pro Wireless is exactly what it sounds like - a top-of-the-line pro gaming mouse. The same test on a new 2021 Windows machine takes 13-20 minutes depending on configuration.Īnd the whole time the new M1 Max MacBook rendered the file, it remained cool and quiet (there is a fan, but it did not need to be turned on). The same process took nearly nine minutes on my 2019, fully spec’ed out MacBook running on Intel’s Core i9. In a video rendering test, my machine was able to render a four minute long 8k video file (7.6GB in size) in a minute and a half. Ben SinĪpple’s silicon (starting with the M1 last year before the M1 Pro and Max this year) have taken that conventional thinking and threw it out the window: they are mobile SoCs that can somehow output enough power to compete with Intel’s latest high-end processors, yet because they are essentially smartphone chips, they manage to be highly efficient and rarely get hot.Īnd in both real world tests and benchmarks, the M1 Max is stunning, particularly on my model with 64GB of memory and maximum 32 core GPU.
