Apple MacBook Pro 16 - M1 Pro/Max

Sporting a stunning display, wildly powerful internals and the re-addition of important ports, the MacBook Pro 2021 rights the wrongs of the past few iterations of Apple’s flagship laptop.

The MacBook Pro is a fine computer that will do everything you need a Mac to do, and moonlight as a casual, but powerful, gaming computer during downtime. By bringing back old ports and getting rid of the Touch Bar, the new MacBook Pro models are a rare but welcome mea culpa from Apple. I don't think anyone is going to run out and buy a MacBook Pro for gaming, regardless of how powerful and impressive Apple Silicon is in just its second generation. There simply aren’t enough games. That said, the limited selection of games that do run perform impressively well considering the MacBook Pro’s size.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro is a powerhouse thanks to the M1 Max chip, and includes a beautiful display, the best speakers I've ever heard on a laptop, and a strong choice of ports.

A stupendous laptop with an unbelievably good screen, superb battery life and breakneck performance.

The MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) is one of the best laptops creative professionals can buy, thanks to its brilliant performance, stunning screen and long battery life. However, it is large and heavy, which is why the 14-inch MacBook Pro may be a better buy, unless you want the larger screen and longer battery life.

So: those are the new MacBook Pros. They are some of the best laptops we have ever tested, with an unbeatable combination of lightning fast performance and tremendous battery life. And Apple seems to have come back to reality in terms of design — well, apart from that notch. But adding some useful ports and ditching the Touch Bar are just smart, practical choices, and honestly worth the upgrade for many people.

On the whole, these computers have practically everything we’d want in a powerful notebook. If you're a creative professional with a large budget for a new computer, and you want something that'll genuinely speed up your workflow, the new MacBook Pros are exactly what you need.
